NHL 2K7 and NBA 2K7 for the 360

Is anybody getting these games, or already have the hockey game? (NBA won't be out for another couple of weeks)

I have NHL 2K7 and this game rocks! It's well worth the extra cash to get the 360 version. Take 2 didn't update the graphics on the player models nearly as much as they did on the NBA game, but they instead focused more on realistc player movements and game atmosphere. The arena looks amazing, the sound is amazing. You can actually see the goalie catch the puck, people go flying around on the ice with massive checks in more detail than ever before, and people actually lose their helmets and other equipment on the ice). When people skate around you can see the lines their skates leave on the ice, and when they stop it sprays out like it does on real ice. You can also see the player's breath Haven't gotten into a fight yet, but can't wait! There is even a mode for arcade style hockey and pond hockey.

Some of these things may have been accomplished on some of their previous game versions, but I have never seen one that looks this good. (I have bought at least the last three)

In the NBA game, the players actually move like their real life counterparts this year. I.e, according to one preview, Steve Nash will actually lick his fingers and point down court like he does in real life. I've seem some videos of this game and it looks even better last year with better player models and more detailed presentation. I am foaming at the mouth to get this game as basketball is the king of sports in my world, however the hockey game will help me stay sane until it comes out.

If anybody has or plans on getting these games and plays online, please send me a gamer tag. I am looking for someone to play from AA.
