The last EA game I played was NHL 2001, which although years old, is I think one of the best iterations of the series in terms of both realism and fun. I haven't bought a new NHL game since then, and I've seen the series go both up and down. But with the playoffs only 30 days away, I'm getting the itch to jump back into the series.
So for those of you who own or have played a lot of NHL 07, and with the understanding that there will of course be an 08 version coming out in September or so, is it worth investing in the series again?
Thanks a lot.

Also the skill stick is a great addition to the game, it makes everything a lot more fluid and you can become a complete beast with it.
Like menus displaying half sideways, and scoring goals that don't count until the puck has been sitting in the back of the net for ten seconds.
Bad goal detection ect...
Also, the fighting is no good.

I bought the 2K series from 2K3 until 2K6, and then I tried NHL 07 and I was blown away.
The majority of the game is decent for the most part. Nothing is really outstanding and nothing is really broken either. It's the shooting that makes the game fun. And since apparently EA is treating the series like Madden and are going to concentrate on a different fact of the game every year; NHL 08 should be even better.
