The NHL 2K7 ice-hockey game brings the sport up-to-date with the 2006-07 NHL season. The game includes several improvements from its predecessor, such as a new camera system that provides a better view of the action on the ice.
This new parametric camera offers automatic zooming and turning based on the players' position on the ice. It also allows for shadow opponents to put pressure on them and increase their chance of making a mistake. Players can achieve this by holding the left bumper and steering the right control stick towards another player, with the amount of pressure determined through taps.
