Pickup Game
Even if you grew up in the tropics, NHL Rivals 2004 gives you a
chance to experience the same 3-on-3 pond hockey that kids in
the Great White North have been playing for generations.
Pickup Game allows you to connect up to six Xbox consoles over
System Link or play with five other gamers using the Xbox Live
service. No crowds, no announcers, no line changes—just fast, fun
hockey for you and your friends played on specially designed ice
venues that’ll take you back to your Canadian youth (real
or imagined).
When you’ve joined or started a game, select your Player Role (see
pg. 15), and sign in. You’ll keep this Player Role throughout the
game, so choose carefully!
