NHL '07
-
Gamepot Info
- Release date=September 12
- Got rid of icons next to players name that identify which kind of player they are (sniper, big hitter, hard shot...).
- All limps move independently from main body animation which means goalies will be able to move more freely and have better saves.
- Easy navagatable menu.
- No icon passing. Instead, you will have to use a combination of the right trigger and the analog stick.
- Each player has a choice of 8 roles in which you can assign to them (defensive defensemen, offensive defensemen, grinder...).
- Right analog stick serves as how a player uses his stick. left to right moves the puck left to right, pull back and push forward lets go a slap shot. Toe-drag is possible, great, fun move.
- Lifelike puck physics.
- No warping goalies while going for pucks.
- Traditional controls are available.
- No turbo, the left analog stick is pressure sensitive for how fast the player will skate.
- Players' stats increase as they see more ice time and preform better.
- Bill Clement and gary Thorne announce the games.
- Incredible Graphics, take a look at the pics and movies.
I don't know if NHL 2K7 will be able to compete this year, especially if NHL 07 decides to do online leagues similar to the 2k's.
