    The lack of changes will disappoint some, but for 20 bucks the minor tweaks and new roster nicely enhance what was already a great game.

    The AI is still riddled with holes and your money plays from last year will still work. [Oct. 2006, p.94]

    I must say that while I was initially disappointed with this title, the more time I spent with it, the more I grew to love it. NHL2K7 is the I must say that while I was initially disappointed with this title, the more time I spent with it, the more I grew to love it. NHL2K7 is the best iteration of the series.

Much of their mistakes are obvious glitches, which also show through in most other areas. As with previous years, glitches are common. Okay, it really should be all about the gameplay, but it's not all that exceptional either. The goal variety and goalie ai are really important in a hockey game, but aren't great here. It just doesn't look like a real game yet to passerbyers, the way other sports. Madden 2001 and NFL 2k both look more like a real game of football, than NHL 2k7 looks like a real hockey game. That just shouldn't be. This series needs to evolve bad.… Full Review »
