I'm not going to go down this road again but i disagree 1000% with that statement. This game is MORE satisfying overall than 2K7 for all the reasons posted in the last 23 pages.I just wish the rest of the game was a satisfying as 2K7, because it's not.

Now, what you prefer to play and in your mind which one plays a better game of hockey for you, sure, i can at least accept that. But to say 2K7 is "more satisfying", not for me.
Ain't it great that we can all have our own opinion?RallyMonkey wrote:I'm not going to go down this road again but i disagree 1000% with that statement.

Well i 100,000,000% know that i 've seen less flip-flopping from a fish out of water than i have with you on these two games.You're allowed to 1,000,000% disagree with him if you want...but I 10,000,000,000% agree with him.
At least you were 100,000,000% right about the Q. I'm using the sliders from my online league. They play well. Our league plays 10 minute periods, but I reduced it to 8 mins for offline play. I'll grab them and post them in a bit.10spro wrote:What sliders are you trying Sully? And how are the SOG count?Sully wrote: I've even found a set of HOF sliders that are making the game enjoyable offline. Sure, there's more one-timers than I'd like to see, but I can deal with that over the glaring AI positioning issues in NHL 07.
I am the king of the goalie back bounce goals onlineSully wrote:I put my copy of NHL 07 up on Ebay this past week. I think the breaking point for me was seeing 5 goals scored by the opposition in which the puck bounced up off of the goalie's shoulder, and rolled down his back into the net...in my last two online games.
I STILL have yet to score a non-slop goal with 07 online. That, the awful frame rate online and off and the lack of little touches like alternate unis has brought me back to NHL 2k7, and I'm really surprised how much I am liking it.
Have you tried NHL07 on the PS2? It also has the skill stick, but it is a much better experience. The right stick is used for passing only, and the right trigger buttons are for shooting and the left trigger is for turbo. I know, I know, it has turbo but it plays a damn fine game of Hockey. I've spent some time with this offering and really like this skill stick setup and wish I could map this button configuration on the 360.10spro wrote:Yeah, 2K7 is my game for Hockey. I still play EA's 07 but I keep going back to the classic control feature because I just can't get used to passing with the RT button. Having said that, you still can shoot with the skill stick as well as X or B while faceoffs are still only to be won/lose with the skill button. When you play vs the CPU it's almost impossible to win a faceoff.
The framerate in 2K7 just rocks.
i did almost the same thing...sent him to philly....vader29 wrote:Well i finished up my first season as the second seed in the eastern conference with the Pens and was up 2 games to none against New Jersey in the first round of the playoffs and ended up losing the next 4 games.
Worst part was that the only trade I made during the season was Mark Recchi for Jamie Langenbrunner and Recchi ends up scoring goals in games 5 and 6 to help put me away.
Perhaps for you, but for me using the R-stick for stick handling and shooting is as fresh and new and fun an experience as I've had with a sports game in a long, long time. I don't have a Wii yet, though, so that my trump it, but shooting and deking is so damn fun in this game, I have a smile on my face on many occasions, and more importantly, I feel fully in control of the shooting. Where it goes, how much zip is on it and so on is all up to me, not to mention the fakes. This new control element combined with the absence of a turbo is enough by far for me to overlook the many boogers this game has, but of course I don't play v. CPU too much. I did really like using the R-stick for passing back with Rivals (not to mention multi-Xbox multiplayer. . . .ddtrane wrote: Have you tried NHL07 on the PS2?

), but shooting in this game and deking gives me as much a feeling of control over those elements as I have in WE, which is to say more than anything else by a long shot.
