Overall, a good game
Added 1/11/2008
For me, the last EA sports game I bought for PC was Triple Play Baseball 2001. Forward about six years, and the graphics, gameplay, and everything else of NHL07 compares miserably. This was my FIRST NHL game I got on my PC, so I had nothing to compare to.
THE GOOD:
1)The graphics are okay, but the faces of the players were good.
2) Contract negiotations and forming a team that you want.
3) There were some roster updates throughout the year.
THE BAD:
1) After much reading other peoples' reviews, I realized I bought a game that is virtually the same for the past 3 years.
2) Horrible AI and redundant one timers and toe-drag wristshort goals.
3) Godlike speed bursts
4) Can't really cycle the puck
For someone who hadn't bought an EA sports game in 5 years, this was right for me. Ah well, 20 bucks wasn't that bad.

What everyone else said!
Added 6/16/2007
The most frustrating aspect of this game is moving from medium to difficult level. If you read any of the previous reviews, it is EXACTLY what they said. The hockey doesn't get any better or any smarter. It simply puts the computer opponent into invinicible mode. Your no longer able to poke check or body check the opponent, they just bounce off you and eventually get the pass off in front of your goalie and the opponent 1 times the puck into the net. (Especially since your goalies suck, they only get about 10-15 shots per game and let in 7 or 8 goals) Also the opponent needs only skate in your direction to knock the puck away from you when your on offense.
But medium difficulty is easy and boring because you win every game 10-1.
So, I uninstalled after I won the Stanley Cup as the Rangers on medium rating.
Weak. Super... Super.. Weak.

Fun for a while
Added 6/7/2007
This game is fun for a while. If you are playing with a keyboard it is allmost impossible unless u can deal with carpool tunel. I was hoping you could control the stick with the mouse, but the mouse is not used in the game. Lets be honest sport games are all about the dynasty season. In NHL 2007 it basically sucks.
Pros- semigood graphics,All the nhl players,challenging ai units.
Cons- Impossible with a keyboard, season mode sucks, no ppl online, ear ringing metal music
Overall this is a game for hockey fans with a pc controller

Stick to 2K6
Added 4/11/2008
After the success of NHL 2K6, i thought 2K7 would be even better, but it isn't.
the graphics are worse, the gameplay is worse, the camera angles are bad, and the menu and gameplay stats menu is worse.
smaller pics of the players, smaller scoreboard, Ovechkin has Joe Thornton's face, Crosby doesn't look like Crosby, etc.
the music is good, but not as good as 2K6.
The only cool things are the little things.
-Coyotes have the 10th anniversary patch
-new Ducks uniforms
-rivarly system
-fights happen more often then compared to 2K6
but other than that, stick to 2K6, i did. it's a better overall game.

Hockey Again
Added 9/14/2006
2K7 is only slightly revamped from the 2K6 version. The main changes are the look of the Menus (why?), the in-game camera, and game presentation.
The menu change was pointless, and adds nothing to the game. There is actually less pre-game info. Instead of rating the two teams from 1-100, the ratings are single digit, which shows less disparity. Also, the Season/Franchise set up screens are flashier, which only distracts from setting up the game. I want those screens to be simple and straight forward.
For some reason there seems to be more players without a real photo. No big deal, but it shouldn't be that hard to get NHL player photos.
The moving in-game camera is nice. It takes a little getting used to, but shows more of the action - especially in 2 player co-op mode. If one person is near the net, and the other is near the blue line, the camera will pull back and give more of an angle to better show both players.
On ice looks the same, but the skaters seem to flow a little better.
There is also the option to have music during the game instead of the announcers. I have not tried this yet since I have almost as much fun back-talking the announcers as I do playing the game.
Overall, NHL 2K7 is still the best hockey available, and I play it as much as any game I have. I would have liked to have seen more game improvements and less cosmetic changes this year, but I guess since it wasn't broke, 2K Games decided that it did not need to be fixed.

A rockin' game
Added 2/19/2009
This game isn't much different from the 2K6 game, except for different menu appearances and the players are different. Like the 2K6 game, this game rocks in many ways. Cool graphics, good commentary, and cool sound effects. The only complaints I have are that the players' pictures are way too small, and the numbers on the scoreboard can be very hard to read, because they're so small. The best way to view the scores is to pause the game and look there.
I highly recommend this game for hockey fans.
