Is NHL07 a patch for NHL06?

When I started the game all the menus looked familiar too me, and I like familiar. That way you know where to configure certain options.

I started off right away turning the graphics to max and configured the controls. Ready for the game I noticed everything looked just like 06. The players entered the same way, the commentary was the same as before, same warm up "cinematic". The crowd looked like crap as well. Then I thought: "what the hell, it seemed nice on the videos! It has to be good!". The ONLY difference from 06 I found was some minor "bugs" that got fixed, like the "goalie-ninja-turtle-spin on the back" and stuff like that. And that you get called for interference while hitting a player not active in the play.

For me, this is a bug fix for NHL 06. I won the first match with 11-1 on difficult, and that's my biggest issue with 06. You can score when you shouldn't be able to!

Thumbs way DOWN EA! Better luck next year, too bad NHL 2k7 isn't released on PC!

    This NHL game, if u can call it that, is a total disgrace. EA sports have no respect for its customers by releasing a slightly modified version of NHL 06. Even the shortcut logo is the same , all they did is replace the ... Read Full Review
