Glide around on the ice and give your opponent a nice, friendly check in NHL 2K7. This year's game features an improved skating engine that enhances offensive and defensive controls, including gliding, turning, stopping, and an overall adjustment of movement on the ice.
Advancements made in 'ProControl' let you execute drop passes, set up plays on the go, and create scoring opportunities that catch the goalie off guard.Developers have also added tactical elements to the game's 'Pressure Control' system that allow you to instruct teammates to defend opposing players with varying degrees of intensity. For example, you may instruct a teammate to shadow a selected opponent, or deliver a big check.Other improvements include a default camera that is lower, allowing you to see more of the action on the ice, such as spotting an open man to make a pass or keeping your eye on the entire offensive line. A new rivalry system gives your team emotions that vary between wins and losses, and in fights against opposing squads. NHL 2K7 also revisits favorite features, such as the 'Skybox,' air hockey, and 'Party' mode. Cup Crazy!I like hockey.No, I really like hockey.It's a little scary. Especially when the rinks aren't flooded, and I don't get to skate.
That's when I have to sit down and play vicariously through a bunch of little pixelated representations of my favorite NHL players. Luckily, NHL 2k7 is a heck of a game, packed with great Old-Time Hockey unlockables, and driven by an intuitive control scheme.I've played pretty much every hockey game on every console system and arcade machine since the dawn of Blades of Steel, and I assure you that NHL 2k7 is among the top titles ever released. The graphics are nice, with lovely ice (something many titles have screwed up) that reflects the lights and shines with tones of blue, gray, and black underneath.
The skaters look nice and move well, though there have been some complaints about their close-ups during cut-scenes (also the crowd looks a bit zombie-like, but who cares, I say!).What really matters is the gameplay and the online play. The game play in this edition is near perfect. The only legitimate beefs I've heard is that one-timers are overbalanced, allowing for the inevitable 'scoring tricks' that have plagued every game since NHL '93 on the Sega Genesis. Related to this is the fact that it is extremely difficult to score with a slapshot from the blue, or even a wrister from the hashmarks, unless the opposing goalie has allowed a weird rebound. Wrap-around goals seem about right, being moderatly easy with a fast skater (especially if you get the goalie screened properly), and pretty darn tough for a slower guy.Online play is where 2k7 kills the competition (specifically NHL '07 by EA Sports). Games, tournaments, entire seasons can be played online, with an easy to navigate online menu where you can find leaderboards, news, and game updates (so far, they've provided four NHL roster updates as the season progresses).My verdict: this game has its flaws - I've yet to play a perfect (or even truly innovative) hockey title, though this one comes closest in a while - but of the hockey games released in the last few years, this one is by far the best choice.Go Wild!.
