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...

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.

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.

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.

LMA Manager 2007 demo is out now, i think this may only be out on the european marketplaces as it is a "soccer" management sim.

According to the Major it's not available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, or Taiwan.

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

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. :|

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.
