What next-gen should be
 
Review Date: November 20, 2006

I bought three PS3 games on launch: Madden, NHL 2K7 and Call of Duty. Of the three, I like this one the best. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is fantastic too. If you bought the EA NHL series in the past, do not hesitate to purchase this game - it is all that and more. The only flaw - and its a very minor one - is that the menu screens look pretty unimpressive and more like PS2 quality. But really, who cares about that? The play-by-play announcer is a little lame, mispronouncing numerous names. He was obviously not a hockey fan. You can't beat Gary Thorne and Bill Clement as a broadcast team, so hopefully they can upgrade for next year's version.
Great Game - Great Hockey

Don't be misled by reviews from people who've said the gameplay and/or stats are unrealistic. Everything in the game can be adjusted through the use of sliders that control every aspect of the game. Someone mentioned 80 shots per game at 10 minute periods. I play full 20 minute periods, real time, and neither side gets near 80 shots a game. Why? Adjustments. I play at All-Star level, goalie strength set to 50%, Defense 100%, offense 0%, speed at 20% or so, speed burst 37%, speed burst duration 17%. These last 3 are probably the most important when trying for realistic action. With Speed burst set too high, every play can be a breakaway. At this setting, you might go the whole game without one. If the scoring/shots are still too high, notch passing down to 70 or 60%, there are a lot of missed passes in real hockey, and if you make every pass with the setting at 90 or 100, well of course you can get a shot or two off every minute of the game, especially with the speed setting too high as well. Believe me, everything can be adjusted, I've played over 120 games with this, and still sometimes tweek these settings for a most realistic and challenging experience.
Next-gen is NOW!

This game absolutely blew me away. I'm a huge hockey fan, and in the past I've always gone with EA's Live series. For whatever reason, EA couldn't get their stuff together to release a version of Live for the PS3, so i went with 2k for once. I must say, screw EA. 2k's realism is top notch, the puck handling is super-intuitive, and the new camera angle makes all the difference. If you're lucky enough to score a PS3 this season, make SURE you grab this game...hockey fan or not, you won't be sorry!!
NHL 2K7 Rocks

Quite possibly the best "sport" related game for the first wave launch. The graphics are awesome. I'm not even that big of a hockey fan. The ice looks outstanding. I too was a big EA supporter, not anymore.
Top notch hockey game top notch sports game

As we move into the next generation of gaming, sports games seem to be fitting in nicely. With Sega bringing their 2K series to the 360 and PS3 gamers have a good reason to be happy. I have never been much of a hockey fan but when it comes to good hockey video games that's another story. I have always enjoyed the fast paced grinding action that these games present and NHL 2K7 is without a doubt the best so far. The presentation is excellent. Either you can go with a sportscast style that leaves you feeling like you are watching the game or the new dramatic score style which creates a wonderful soundtrack that fits the action of the game perfectly. Now this game is trully spectaculor. Although the online play is lacking which I hope picks up with next years edition. Overall I would say this game makes a wonderful edition to any PS3 fans collection.
