| Quote: |
The golden era of hockey videogames is back with NHL 07 brought to you by EA SPORTS - brand of the best-selling hockey videogame. Console hockey now rivals its counterpart on the ice with an unmatched level freedom and control.
NHL 07 puts you in total command with a revolutionary new Skill Stick system. Never take your hands off the analog sticks as you take complete control of all skating on the left, and - for the first time in a hockey videogame - passing will use an intuitive motion on the right analog stick to execute with precision.
Feel like a part of the team with a level of passing fluidity that allows you to implement a realistic team strategy. Look to your teammates and know how to best use their strengths with New Player-Specific Behaviors. Play the game like you do on the ice: Be the Playmaker and find your Sniper open in the slot, or let your Dangler make pylons out of the defense.
Off the ice, act as the General Manager in an enhanced Dynasty Mode. Do whatever it takes to meet an owner's expectations by properly managing rosters and using your creativity to fit player salaries under the new cap.
Whether you're running the front office or dominating the rink, NHL 07 is the most intuitive and realistic hockey experience ever created.
- Skill Stick Revolution-Experience a realistic sense of team control on the ice. Command every movement and make precise passes by directing the right analog stick towards your intended recipient.
- All-New Player-Specific Behaviors-NHL 07 players act like their real-life counterparts more than ever with six different player types, including Danglers, Playmakers, Snipers, Power Forwards, Offensive Defensemen, and Defensive Defensemen.
- Live the Life of a GM-Build team chemistry, sign and trade players, and negotiate contracts under the new salary cap to meet an owner's expectations. Earn trust points with every positive move then purchase upgrades for the team.
- Shootout Returns-Become an instant hero with the most exciting play in sports. With the game on the line, all eyes are on you. Skate down the ice, read the goalie, and see if you can score the momentum-swinging goal.
- Elite League Expansion-European Elite Leagues return with the addition of the Czech Elite League and an all-new Elite League Dynasty mode that clearly distinguishes the differences between European and NHL hockey.
- EA SPORTS Free-4-All-Online or in the same room, it's every man for himself in an all-out hockey EA SPORTS Free-4-All. Using only one side of the rink, challenge up to three friends and see who can score the most goals in your fight to dominate the hockey world.

Why? All EA does year after year is remove a feature or two and add a feature or two, and change the rosters. They'll never create the "perfect" game because if they put everything people want in a single game, there would be no reason for people to buy the following years game.

The one thing I'm hoping for is proper widescreen support. I bought a couple wireless controllers a year ago thinking I could play this game on my hdtv, but no, ea could not give us a widescreen resolution.
Now I have the 2407, so if it doesnt' have widescreen!

xbox 360 version meens next gen and the pc is still current gen. Next gen is not only amaizing graphics but whole engine is different. So You can see better puck phisics, try all new skating and shooting controls and listen to new commentators. The Xbox 360 NHL 07 demo is now on marketplace so You can grab it and test how it works for real. If don't have xbox 360 You can look at any trailer and You'll know how big are the differences between xbox and pc version.

PC is whatever gen people want it to be. There is nothing the xbox360 can do that the PC can't, any limitations are those artificially imposed by the developers, possibly to try and push people to the xbox 360

Hence why we're getting the next gen version next year.
This is just another "ploy" by Microsoft to sell more 360s, which is a standard business practise.
Also I imagine they had some problems implementing the controls for the keyboard for all those keyboard n00bs.
