2K7 is only slightly revamped from the 2K6 version. The main changes are the look of the Menus (why?), the in-game camera, and game presentation.
The menu change was pointless, and adds nothing to the game. There is actually less pre-game info. Instead of rating the two teams from 1-100, the ratings are single digit, which shows less disparity. Also, the Season/Franchise set up screens are flashier, which only distracts from setting up the game. I want those screens to be simple and straight forward.
For some reason there seems to be more players without a real photo. No big deal, but it shouldn't be that hard to get NHL player photos.
The moving in-game camera is nice. It takes a little getting used to, but shows more of the action - especially in 2 player co-op mode. If one person is near the net, and the other is near the blue line, the camera will pull back and give more of an angle to better show both players.
On ice looks the same, but the skaters seem to flow a little better.
There is also the option to have music during the game instead of the announcers. I have not tried this yet since I have almost as much fun back-talking the announcers as I do playing the game.
Overall, NHL 2K7 is still the best hockey available, and I play it as much as any game I have. I would have liked to have seen more game improvements and less cosmetic changes this year, but I guess since it wasn't broke, 2K Games decided that it did not need to be fixed.

I don't remember. much about this game. Back when I got it I gave it 3 stars but now they want me to review it so here I am writing this. I guess if you are still playing games on your xbox this should suffice as a hockey game for you.

After the success of NHL 2K6, i thought 2K7 would be even better, but it isn't.

the graphics are worse, the gameplay is worse, the camera angles are bad, and the menu and gameplay stats menu is worse.

smaller pics of the players, smaller scoreboard, Ovechkin has Joe Thornton's face, Crosby doesn't look like Crosby, etc.

the music is good, but not as good as 2K6.

The only cool things are the little things.

-Coyotes have the 10th anniversary patch
-new Ducks uniforms
-rivarly system
-fights happen more often then compared to 2K6

but other than that, stick to 2K6, i did. it's a better overall game.
