    This game is excellent. The only thing we would change is the goal keeping. Goalies are excellent when a shot come from the point or on any slap shots and even on break-aways. The only goals that ever go in are ones that trickle past the goalie or shots that get deflected by the goalie and go over his head. But all in all this game is great and is a blast to play ecspecailly online.

    NHL 07 feels like real hockey but it the pretty same as my other game NHL 06 but this game includes Sydney CRosby, and Alexander Ovetchkin who I am huge fans of. Best game on ice for me once again.

    The gameplay of this game is amazing. the controls are much better than NHL 06 as it makes you feel like you have perfect control of thing suck as where you are passing. The only thing that I'm not happy with is when you are going to hit somebody, their played is like a magnet to you and its trippy. I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

    Should be a 7.5 out of 10. I like it, but not much more than last years version. The graphics are identical. There are two good improvements. Passing with the right analog stick is sweet. Gives a couple more options and really helps with the forechecking. The second improvement is with the puck physics. The puck bounces more realistically. One timers are harder to score on, which is Should be a 7.5 out of 10. I like it, but not much more than last years version. The graphics are identical. There are two good improvements.

    A hugely enjoyable sim. [Oct 2006, p.87]

    The controls are tight, especially shooting. We would like to see the checking system tweaked a bit so players aren't so magnetic. Great puck physics make for exciting, organic goal scoring.

    The Dynasty mode is still a blast, even though it isn’t entirely new. And the core gameplay mechanics cannot be beat. The new stick passing gives players so much more control over the puck.
