I really love playing the Pond game and the shuffleboard game in the arcade room.
 THE BEST HOCKEY GAME YET! March 21, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Last year I bought NHL 2006 by EA,and I thought it was good but then it was ridiculous scoring 20+ goals a game.This year my dad bought me NHL 2k7 and it is so much better,here are the reasons
1.Graphics:Flow very smoothly
2.Sound:The broadcast team of Bob Cole and Harry Neale are a lot better than those guys from Nhl 2006.
3.Player Faces:Not only do the big stars look like themselves,but so do the lesser players.
4.Gameplay:You don't score 150 goals in this game
5.Franchise and Season Modes:Editing lines in this game is much easier,plus it shows you their chemistry.
The only problem with this game is that they didn't include the new Sabre Jerseys

 Buyer Beware, this is buggy at best! February 26, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have to agree with other posters, but felt necessary to warn others. The game is fun, when you can actually get it to do what you want. We all know what a good hockey game is supposed to be like, so I will just highlight the problems.
1. The game has some serious freezing issues! Please see the NHL2k forums on their website if you don't believe me. After 2-3 games in season mode, following the game it will freeze up, losing the results of the game you played. The only way to get around it is to SIM a game. Who wants to SIM a whole season?!?!
2. The slide bars adjusting everything from penalties, rules, and anything else have to be slid to either extreme to see any real differences.
3. A menu system designed by S&M guru. It takes like 20 clicks deep to find the one thing you were looking for. It gets easier, but takes like 5-10 minutes just to adjust settings before each game.
4. Multiple save files. You have to save your profile, settings, rosters, and seasons all seperately, thus having to reload each one prior to a game as well. Again, time consuming to get to a game.
5. Fighting is horrible. Seriously, Blades of Steel has a better fighting engine.
6. The commentary, although insightful at times with hockey trivia, is sleep inducing. I've gotten to the point where I turn it off completely just to make it feel like I am at hockey game and not a book reading.
7. Checking/injuries/penalties balance. If there is one, I haven't found it. You can do some pretty bone crushing checks (including making a player go head over heels!) but a penalty probably won't be called unless you have the slide bar almost to the max and then every little thing is called. Injuries happen on routine checks more often than big ones.
8. Edit Lines. What hockey game player doesn't want to edit his/hers lines? Editing isn't too hard, but is buggy. For instance, you have a roster of approx 40 players, but can only dress 20 and scratch 3 to a game. But you have to click on EACH player to see if they are dressed, scratched, or in the minors. Tedious. Then everytime a player gets hurt, you don't know if he is back unless you check his personal screen EACH game prior to setting your lines. Plus after an injury, my player stayed in the game (????), but when I tried to ulter my lines during the game in response to his injury (he was listed as injured on my edit lines screen still) the computer stated that I had 'roster violations' by not having enough players dressed and/or scratched. It was a Catch-22 and I was stuck in the screen b/c trying to exit resulted in a warning forcing me to re-edit, but then trying to re-edit resulted in the warning. I had to push reset!!!
9. When reviewing rosters and free agents, there is NO way to sort by player name; although the designers allow everything down to shoe size practically to be sorted. This results in very tedious roster updating, which should be done b/c the roster is only current as of approximately August 2006 before the end of free agent signing.
10. The minigames are just filler. There appears to have been a lot of time and creativity spent on the minigames, of which there are at least 25 I would say, however, most are pretty silly and feel like they come down more to luck than any actual skill or fun.
11. The instructional booklet. This is one of the worst instructional booklets I have used. It's long, about 50 pages, but tells you NOTHING about the game. It repeats lots of controls, but tells you nothing about all the other menus in the game and even what the different options available. For instance, 25 pages are dedicated to the different types of controls, but not one paragraph on the different types of strategies and/or setups available for your team. A simple one or two sentece description would have been helpful for example to differentiate between a 1-2-2 defense strategy versus blueline or zone. To a very seasoned hockey player those are simple, but to new gamers, which I'm not, but neither a seasoned hockey player, a simple statement would help know what to choose for customization.
Still the best hockey game around December 15, 2006
Another year, and another duel between EA and 2K, and once again, 2K comes out on top. NHL 2K7 is still the best hockey game around, and with a year of the post-lockout NHL under it's belt, NHL 2K7 offers a nice amount of tweaks and changes that set it apart from last year's game on the PS2, albeit not by much. While it can't hold a candle to it's next-gen console bretheren in terms of visuals and gameplay enhancements, there's still a lot to admire here. For starters, there's some new camera angle enhancements that look really good, while pretty much every feature from last year's game is included as well. Graphically, yeah you guessed it, the game looks like it did last year, and that's not a bad thing either. The opposing defense is stingy and does the job right, which is what I've come to expect from the series. Not to mention that the game includes a dynamite soundtrack from Sub Pop records, that features some rocking music that fits in well with the atmosphere of hard hitting hockey. If you still own a PS2, and you dug last year's game more than EA's, then chances are you'll dig 2K7 too. Plus at the very modest price, you can't really go wrong.
Too Slow and Too Easy! December 4, 2006
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This game is really slow. There is hardly any turbo and the gameplay stinks. Pond hockey mode is cool but it gets old. This game is very easy and the fighting is bad. The goalies lie down and make the same save every time. Then the goalies make too many hand passes. Don't waste your money.
