haha, i HATE when announcers do that, and they do it ALL THE TIME. you cannot divide a hockey game into 4ths. i'll prolly give this a try, just cuz i love hockey.

Last NHL game I bought was 2005 and I thought it was great. Will probably pick this up at some point :happy:

Hockey games are fantastic fun, I just hope they include Live for European versions this time around :/

NHL 2K7 demo is up, different from NHL 07 iirc

NHL 2K7 demo is up, different from NHL 07 iirc

Good demo. Short, but good.

The graphics while actually on the ice itself, meaning during actual play, are fantastic, really look good. They are really smooth looking and the game runs amazingly well, super, super fluid and smooth.

The crowd is just decent, the up close shots and animations of the players are pretty good, nothing great but good, but the overall game (meaning the actual game itself players on the ice), which is the most important factor, while being played looks great IMO. And as I said it plays "smooth" like the 2K games always do.

Overall this will be a pretty good game it appears.

I do really like how the EA demo handles shooting with the right stick though, but it is to early to make a judgement on all of that with just the shootout demo they provided...

[El-Diablo]

i actually think NHL 2k7 sucked quite bad. I'm excited for NHL 07 far more.

[BroChaos Veteran]

the shootout was fun...just wish you didn't have to keep restarting. took me a while to finally score. has anyone been able to score on a slapper? overall, the stickhandling felt quite nice.

[magik]

I thought NHL 2k7 was a lot of fun, easy to pick up and just play. I liked the music during the game as if to build up some anticipation/drama, pretty cool feature, but I assume it's only meant for like finals and/or cirtical games? Otherwise it may get a bit redundant. But then again, you can always play from your own custom playlist. I just wish it was a bit longer ;). I can't really comment on NHL 07 because the shootout doesn't really give you a good feel for the gameplay. Hopefully they'll release a good demo of that.

I have, and it was glorious. Even better that it was against my friend. For awhile we thought we were actually controlling the goalies...

NBA 2k7 demo is out, 1.01gb :)

Plays smooth, but I am completely unimpressed by the visuals.

Not that visuals make a good game, far from it, but I just expected them to be way better.

It looks better than last year's version, but yeah it looks like Live will still hold the graphics crown. I wish I could get a basketball game with Live 07's graphics and presentation (and maybe the All-Star Weekend if they lose the stupid front flip dunk :rolleyes: ) combined with 2k7's....uh...everything else. :p

[Matrix XII]

I hardly ever buy EA sports games anymore, but I think EA has the better NHL game this year. I'm going to pick up NHL07 after a 4 year streak with 2k sports :p

Yep. I Totally agree. I much prefer the gameplay of the 2K series, and although the visuals do look better than last years version, they are still nowhere near what they can be, and as you said as good as EA's, I just thought EA's game played truly horrible in last years version, like as bad as a basketball video game can play.

I honestly may once again be skipping getting any basketball title this time around, which is an absolute shame because basketball is and always has been my favorite sport to play on video games.

We will see I guess, maybe I just expect to much. :|

Maybe it's just me but I thought the visuals in 2K7 surpass Live 07 by far. EA has improved from last year but it still doesn't match the quality of the texture and skins that 2K7 has.

Gameplay: don't even get started on that. That's how bad Live is. :|
