NHL 07’s Next-Gen Authenticity Video

David Littman, producer of NHL 07 for the Xbox 360, shares the development team’s focus for the game via the latest NHL 07 video.

According to Littman, what they primarily wanted to achieve with the game is the delivery of innovation and authenticity, particularly with player types, equipment, and Dynasty CBA. “Everything we did in gameplay needed to be authentic.”

Some of this authenticity is exhibited in player types, as well as with the goalie. Here, the goalie can make a save and move his arm and leg anywhere in that space, so now he has to literally put his hand on the puck. The puck is yet another cause of excitement as it is described to be a loose puck. Bouncing off realistically as it hits a skate, a stick, or a post, the action just produces incredible excitement as anything can happen when that puck is around the goal. “The puck is free, anything can happen at anytime, and that’s about as authentic as you can get in a hockey video game.”

While there are still about several more days to go before NHL 07 scores a goal on store shelves, check out Official Movie #9 of this much-anticipated next-gen sports game.
