My questions:
Was the “retreating offense” fixed (when you shot the puck in the zone, your whole team decided to leave the zone and not establish a forecheck)
The atmosphere get upgraded?
Did the custom soundtracks get fixed? I had over 50 songs in my playlist and seemed to only hear 5-6 of the same songs during a game in 2K7

1. Will the defense be adjusted so players can’t just walk in untouched?
2. Will checking be adjusted so players aren’t crushed at the lowest level?
3. A small point, but an important one to me: although there is a huge disparity in ratings on the lessor international teams when compared to Canada, USA, etc. , they often perform way over their ratings (I like to let the CPU play itself in tournaments I create as the tourney options leave a lot to be desired). So, will we see a more realistic performance between players/teams based on their ratings?
Thanks

1. How are deflections being addressed with the addition of the “Pro Stick?
2. Has fighting been changed and are the controls still the same for fighting?
3. Myself and others have noticed the heads are too small on some players, is this still a work in progress or are we going to have to change the size of the players heads ourselves?

Have the AI boosts finally been taken away? I cant tell you how tired I am of seeing the opposition beating me to pucks after a 5 minute shift, as well as with players that have lower ratings. What is the point of ratings if they are going to be overruled by cheats?

Where’s the PC version

Will there be any improvements (even minor ones) made to the online or online league systems?

The PC version is in my fondness fantasties, sadly that stuff doesn’t happen in reality.

Can you please let me know if the Create a team has been improved?

Passing has always seemed to be a bit awkward. Either you’re dead on or it goes haywire (naturally more haywire when not using any pass assist), has there been any improvements in passing where puck moves off of the intended direction in more subtle ways in a manner of a few degrees in one direction or another? If so, how do the players handle such issues?

The biggest issue for me is the Franchise-mode. I have read on the 2k-site that they have done a big overhaul of the franchise-mode with a better draft, a better FA-period, a better negotiation-system, holdouts and so on.
But I would really like to hear some more specific explanation how it will work.
Will players ask to be traded?
Are you going to be able to follow young kids that you are going to draft during the season?
Will we see more realistic trades (no more Sakic for Thornton, Thornton for Iginla, Iginla for Pronger during the same season please)
Will there be realistic saleries?
Will a computer-team manage their lines and trade for players smarter this year? (As in they won´t trade for a center when they have 3 good centers but no physical defensman, and no Right-wingers, instead they will realise what their team neads are and try and fill that nead, by trading from their strength, and then manage their lines properly?)
Will teams that are playoff-bound try and trade for impact players FROM lower ranked teams and using draft-picks and younger players as trading-bait instead of trading their OWN 6-million impact players to a team that is in the bottom of the standings?)

1. Any word on LAN/system link support? It’s been a feature almost completely ignored by sports game developers and could have some great pre-game party value.
2. Has any work been done on adjusting cameras for consoles with multiple players? It’s too easy to be out of position when the player’s you’re controlling is off-screen, especially when your team is a bunch of friends that don’t know much about hockey.
