NHL 2K7 is an ice-hockey game updated to the 2007 season. The game features a new camera system that provides a better view of the action on the ice, with automatic zooming and turning based on the players' position.
The game also includes a "shadow" feature, which allows players to pressure opponents by holding the left bumper and steering the right control stick towards another player. The amount of pressure can be determined through taps, making for a more realistic gameplay experience.
