NHL 2K7 was officially the second hockey game released by 2K Sports on Xbox 360, but truthfully, NHL 2K6 was just a quick and dirty port of the OG Xbox game of the same name. NHL 2K7 was also the first year that the big two hockey franchises would go head-to-head, as EA's NHL 07 arrived that same year, bringing along with it some impressive “next-gen” visuals and the innovative skill stick. The 2K hockey games had been quietly doing their thing for several years, serving up a 50-50 split of simulation and arcade gameplay. The one-timer was a staple of the 2K hockey brand, and it was most certainly present and accounted for in NHL 2K7.

These games felt like a continuation of the old NHL Faceoff games from Sony. I just couldn't get into the herky-jerky gameplay.

I have never played 2k7 but I have NHL2k10 on Xbox (got it new for $5) and still play it to this day. As a casual hockey fan and gamer, it works for me -- I have never had an interest in upgrading to one of the NHL versions.

This is why 2K10 holds up for me

Nice video. I would love to see 2K bring out another Hockey game. I enjoy EA's game now but not as much as I enjoyed 2K's game then.

What I'll say is if 2k games are arcady to you youre playing them wrong.

Now I am not telling you how to play your game but 2k series (until the last few releases but 2k6 - 2k8) were amazing simulation hockey games. The slider settings had such a major impact on the game that with the correct sliders (slower speed, little to no speed burst, more fatigue and less hits) you have the most realistic hockey game to date.

2K8 and 2K10 are definitely still worth playing.

2K7, not so much.

Agree jyoung 100% I remember 2k7's graphics being nice especially the glare off of the ice. 2k8 was the last real sim hockey game that I have played. It was a shame that a lot of guys gave up on it because 2k had changed the shooting controls in which were ackward but once you practice it was no big deal.
