Anybody preorder NHL '07 or 2K7

[Sabres244]

I did, both of them, $35(shipping) included for '07, and $20 for 2K7 off Ebay, it's going to be interesting from what I've heard '07's gameplay is much better, I hope its not all acrade like it has been, The dynasty mode is suppost to be better too,I'd like to be able to sign free agents, cap is included too, I never really has any complaints about 2k's except the ice never looked like it got choppy or skated on...but hey two games for $55 dollars, not bad.

[GrapeDRINK]

I preordered 2K7. 2007 is pure hype and will have good graphics but the same garbage arcade gameplay as always. 2K7 may not look as pretty but there has never been another hockey game that has come as close at replicating actual NHL hockey.

Not bad at all, still debating which one to get, got the ea one and was awful last year. Still not sure though.

I just don't know Grape, have you seen how you have to shoot on 07? it looks awesome, goalies have to cover rebounds now and everything. What I'd really like to do is be able to setup a powerplay and work it around and back to the point and look for a deflection in front or a big rebound to pound home, I guess I'll wait 2 weeks to find out

with the icon passing system in 2k6, u could run a powerplay just like in real hockey. it was pretty cool. you'd swing the puck quickly around and create space for your shot

both games come out Tuesday September 12th btw

I downloaded the demo of 2006 on the 360. It's just a demo of the shootout mode but I gotta say that the controls are actually pretty tight and it is fun. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen. The jury is still out on how the actual gameplay is in a game though. The 2K7 demo is supposedly out at 2 AM tonight so I will give an update as soon as I play that as well.

yep i got the 2k7 demo (i finally got my 360). its pretty awesome. the graphics are incredible, especially the cut scenes before and after big plays, you'l see the coach and players on the bench react.

Seems like these games are coming out too early. I mean, I just started playing Madden. Maybe I'll pick this up around December like last year.

[Scary Good]

Madden's trash...I can't wait to buy. I had '06 last year...what do you all think I should do this year?

[Scary Good]

and will the games be better for Ps2 than last year even though the 360 is out?

[BanditsRock11]

What is the point of pre ordering games, especially this one?

[Mouldsie]

actually pre-ordering hockey games is smart in WNY


NHL 06 was sold out for a good while in the Buffalo area because they make a limited amount of the game and send them equally (retardedly) across the country. I had to wait over a month before I found it in stock somewhere last year.

"NHL 2K7 is the total package. The gameplay is solid and smooth even if it is still very similar to older titles in the franchise. Visually, 2K Sports harnesses the power of the 360, resulting in excellent animations, frame-rate and great-looking cutscenes. The new Cinemotion presentation, while not a giant leap forward, is a great touch that gives you the choice between TV broadcast and inspirational hockey movie. The dynamic score works well enough, although it could be a bit louder. The crowd noise is a bit of a disappointment and hurts the overall atmosphere. Online, 2K Sports continues to lead the pack with online leagues and franchises and stat tracking. While NHL 07 features an excellent gameplay innovation with the skill stick, NHL 2K7 is the most complete, all-around hockey title on the 360."

In NHL 07 I dont think you can

[stepsukie]

you have to drop them to free agents and edit them from there. BTW...NHL 07 for PS2 sucks the big one.

[smashingt2312]

Has there been a roster update yet for nhl 07 on xbox 360?

[Scary Good]

I have 07 but havent played a game...is it that bad?

[BanditsRock11]
