Nhl 07 breaks the boarders of the hockey video game world. When you first play this game you may not know what to think. It looks amazing is one thing u notice off the bat, but what will strike you is the reletivley smooth and rich gameplay. Some un-polished animations may be visible, but not to noticable, at least u will be having so much fun u wont even care. And some animations looked like they were just taken from Nhl 06, but 06 was a good looking game, just the gameplay fell short...VERY SHORT. But this isn't the case this year! I spent a day with the game and already have the controlls down, which takes some time getting familiar to. Once you get that down you are set, set to enjoy some good looking hockey. The game has taken a switch this year from arcade to SIM, and let me say, it feels great. But the AI can seem to get confused and sometimes stand still for a couple of seconds on the lower difficulty setting. But not that it effects the game at all, cause it happens rarely. Not many options in the game, but Dynasty mode should be enough to keep many hapy, I KNow it will suit me, especially cause it gets so fun, beinb really realistic and good looking

The Dynasty mode is so great, mabey i suck or something but ive only played on pro so far and my record is 6-8, and I am the Maple Leafs, so there you go! thats very realistic. The game will challange you time to time, especially on the higher levels. And the computer will step up it's game after you become too good and go on huge winning streaks. SO this game is bound to keep u happy, at least till next year, so my reccomendation ( coming from a hockey player/ picky realism hockey sim game lover) is to get this great game! PS- online is fun, but few options are there which is kinda a bummer, but still fun solid intense online 1v1 ranked/ unranked play! Yes u can create player and yes can download roster update and content!
