I know you can do it in real life too, but to include it in a game just seems stupid, becuase it will obviously be open to abuse. In a real match obviously there will be more tactics involved, but in a game, where running up the ice is pretty easy, it just seems silly to add it, that’s all I meant.

And I’m sure, if you wanted to, you could pull a keeper in football. They run up for corners, so it’s the same thing.

You should not review games if you know nothign about the actual sport. Unlike “football” you actually are allowed to pull your goalie to get an extra attacker to try and tie the game or on delayed penalties.

“It’s easy, because for some reason EA have included this crazy little feature where you can remove goal “defenders” (I think the mean keepers) and have an extra man on the ice. Therefore, an empty net is now a reality. ”

Dumbest quote I have ever heard. Next time get someone who knows something about hockey to review the game, mmmmkay?

The graphics are practically the same, online leagues!, skybox, mini games, more indepth franchise mode, online tournaments, more gameplay options, and more realistic with the correct settings. (IE: one timers to hard, and set to hall of famer) I’m sorry but 2k7 is better, I used to be a die hard EA NHL guy, but switched for a reason, and it’s because 2k7’s series of hockey is better.

Even is you’re right, you still don’t have to be an ass about it.

It is not what you say but how you say it.

I’m no fan of EA games but I might pick this one up just because I liked the last Ice Hockey match I saw in Helsinki (and otherwise it’s allways good for some multiplayer fun)

I aplogise, you are indeed right. I followed a link from Google, didn’t check that, so thankyou.

However I object to the comment “live inside EA’s ass”. i certainly do not, and I thought that was clear from the intro, since I haven’t bought an EA Sport game for ten years. I’m the first to criticise EA, but when they do a good job on something, as I believe they have done with NHl, then you have to give them credit. I still think 2k7 looks worse in comparison to 07, that’s my opinion.

You have to remember that a review is a very personal thing. Don’t take it as absolute fact; others may loathe this game and didn’t get what I do out of it. I wrote the review to guide people who may not be sure whether or not to get the game. You have your opinion, that’s fine, and I have mine.

please if you are going to review a game about a sport you have no idea about…don’t make it blatently obvious that you live inside EA’s ass. (included is a link to an actual picture from the 360 version of 2k7, not the xbox version…gfg)

Just to let you know, when doing the achievements with 2P, you can leave it set to 2P and still get em.

Also, for the shootout, go to the menu and select manual “goal defender”.
