Calax Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 no the collecters edition isn't worth it. On the bridge mission for me it the machine guns were cutting down the troops like grass... my problem was I didn't have any tank traps up so the tanks would just run over defenses and I ended up loosing the bridges and being pushed back to the church. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Regular version it is then. I got pushed back to the church as well, but only because the artillery knocked out the HQ. I could easily have held the bridges if the artillery shots hadn't started hitting my bridge defences. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the last campaign mission is fun... the "bonus" objective for the medal is to kill 300 guys.

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 How good is your created defensemen? I usually create a centerman, and even though I don't have an arbitrary cap, he usually peaks out at an overall of around 80. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm 81 I believe. So far I have goals in about half of the games I've played, but I don't really have a lot of assists. Nobody on my team is even close to the leaders league wide. Damn you skill stick!!

alanschu Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 In the PC version it seems really, really easy to score goals from defensemen. The EA onetimer hardly ever works too (though it's probably a timing issue with my roommate and myself playing on the same team. Goalies aren't aggressive enough. You can pretty much be right in front of them and they don't poke check you, and you can just pick the corner. They also play the pass WAY too much. I actually scored on a pass once, because it was way too late and the target ended up going behind the net. But the goalie played it like a pass, so he slid across the crease. The puck just slid right into the net. I was rather unimpressed. I'm glad it was my roommate that bought it, and not me. I'm not sure who the genius was that decided "switch player" should be the same button as "spin-o-rama" when you have the puck. Frequently I'll go to switch players just as he touches the puck, so I'll do a spin-o-rama right in front of my goalie, end up WAY out of position, turning the puck over to the other guy. With the unaggressive goalies, it's almost always a goal. Overall, a mediocre effort. Hopefully the 360 version is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I've had less one-timers, but they are pretty rewarding when I've connected on them. I'm thinking about upping the difficulty to the max, as I've only lost one game and that went to a shootout. I'm 5-0-1. It's not that I've had easy games, it just seems like the other team can't score enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Is the puck system as innovative as EA made it sound? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm enjoying it. It's a definite improvement over the sticky pucks of the previous games. It's far from perfect, there are some odd things that happen, but I've seen odd things happen in real games.

mkreku Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 NHL 07 got 82% and NHL 2k7 got 83% so this year it really doesn't matter which version you choose at least. Source: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/nhl07/review.html and http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/nhl2k7/review.html Unfortunately, the Xbox, Playstation 2 and PC versions of the game are just more of the same from last year. Apparently they didn't even try to invent this time. I guess they're considered "dead tech", but why the PC is included in that package is beyond me. Explains why alan is a bit disappointed at least.
