NHL 2K7 brings all of the intensity and excitement of team rivalries, with the new Rivalry System. In the Rivalry System, the season calendar helps players track their rivals and when they play them. As the season progresses, rivals can change depending on how the teams play against each other and the outcome of the games. A rivalry can increase, for example, if two teams have a set of particularly aggressive games, or if they face each other in repeated playoff series. Additionally, teams not originally listed as rivals can become rivals based on these various events. This dynamic Rivalry System adds a new level of drama when experiencing Franchise mode in NHL 2K7.

The NHL 2K series has always boasted innovative and unmatched online gameplay, and this year’s game is no different as it furthers this tradition with an enhanced online experience fit for any hockey fan. In addition to a fantasy draft, online leagues, tournaments and management of leagues on the PC, gamers are now able to track overtime wins and losses in their leagues, adding yet another layer of NHL authenticity to online play.

New to NHL 2K7 is a completely overhauled skating engine that delivers silky, smooth animations at 60 frames-per-second, adding a realistic look and feel to the game. Players now lean and crossover during turns as well as deftly transition from forward to backward skating, enhancing the visual experience and also adding the ability to better position players for passes and offensive opportunities. More checking variations improve contact along the boards and in open ice while innovative Right Analogue controls offer fully analogue stick movement, giving players the power to decide where they want to move the stick, unlike any other hockey video game available. Other franchise favourites include deke moves, fully analogue defensive stick manoeuvres, revamped puck physics and rebounds, adding up to the finest NHL video game experience on any console.

With seamless online play and the most comprehensive online feature set anywhere including complete online stat tracking, buddy list management, and online leagues, 2K Sports continues to lead the online gaming revolution.
