NHL 2K7 to me is like being in that relationship thats starting to go stale. You know , you still love her but her routines are getting old and you want something that will freshen up the relationship like it did when you first met her? Thats what this game feel like. This is the first hockey game ever on the PS3 console. Its impressive at first. The ice looks amazing. The new camera angle is the best ive played with since Ea made hockey games Vertical instead of horizontal. the franchise mode is pretty deep compared to the other next gen sports games but thats where the good stuff ends. Like many other reveiwers are saying, its the smae old skate up the ice and try to find that open one timer. I ve been a fan of this series since 2k3. Right now they need more innovation. We seen what they can do now lets see what they can do next. Here comes the negatives.

Player models look out of date and blocky. They almost look like zombies for facial expressions. My suggestion here is that they should take a page from NBA 2k and make the player models look like there reality counterparts. Why is it that hockey gets the short end of the stick on this?
Make Crosby look like Crosby. Besides the face. Ea did it with NHL07 which looks great. The audio to me is a vital part of a sports game, and Crowd participation is a main ingredient. The crowd in 2k7 is as boring as watching a chess match. With the next gen technology, This stuff should be eliminated. Crowd participation should be more involved. They should be louder and more exciting when a home team goal is scored. Make the chanting more intense and meaningfull. I dont understand hwy companies make games like this. madden is known for this.
