Just an 8.3... I doubt it

NHL 07 have closed the gap that the 2k series has enjoyed. The bold move to no turbo and a shooting stick have payed off. I saw that gamespot mentioned the thrill of getting a goal what I missed though was just the overall fun of the game. The challenges of getting things set up on a power play, and yes the AI now supports power play tactics. The game looks even better than it plays, its by far the best looking sports game out on the 360, surpassing Madden for the title. I also love that you can set up personalities for your players, so say you have a offensive defenseman, you can set him up that way and instead of checks.. he will look for steals and then push the puck up the Ice. There is an issue with odd goals, but any hockey fan who watches his team over a season knows the the puck sometimes just finds a way into the net.. no matter who your goalie is.. even Martin Broduer lets a few by from time to time :) anyways its just impressive to me, you'll take a shot and see it bounce of a defensemen stick and start flipping into the air... the goalie will react and I've seen them hit the gloves and bounce out.. I've seen them snag it.. its actually like your watch the real game... its amazing.

I personally don't care to much for option, mini-games, or for that matter online play. I like to get down and dirty in the Franchise and I'm a stat guy.. so if your like me, then go get the game... you'll love it
