Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I never rated anything lower than a 3 star, so when I do it must be really bad. And NHL07 is bad.
There are less options when it comes to player creation than previous versions (NHL04 was the last one I owned and I like it a lot). Graphics isn't much of an improvement. There are some additional modes of play but nothing really interesting. There are bugs like if you press ESC key to get the menu in game, you can only use the keyboard to move the cursor and select options, gamepad and mouse are both disabled. Those are all minor problems compare to the degradation of AI from before.
Some highlights (or lowlights):
- goalies ignores the puck if it's a pass. If you have a player going behind the net, pass to him and see the goalie do nothing.
- When I turn the difficulty level up from normal to difficult, what I found was that instead of making the AI smarter, EA simply decided to make AI invincible on offense. Defenders would just bounce off the AI player carrying the puck. I would have surround the AI player with 3-4 players of my own, all checking/hooking/grabbing the jersey/chopping at his stick. No matter, the AI player would just spin free from everyone, wind up the slapshot and scores from 20ft away from the net. That doesn't make game difficult, just frustrating!
- Besides the invincibility upgrade AI received on offense, absolute nothing was different between the normal and higher difficulty levels. AI defense is still weak and if you have no trouble scoring at normal, you won't have any problem at difficult.
On the bright side, you do get the updated roster. Yay.
