About this product
Product Information
The third installment of Take Two's NHL 2K series on Xbox 360 features completely remodeled player graphics, updated faces, and even new player-specific equipment -- all part of the developer's effort to showcase "next-gen" visuals. While the presentation is the most obvious change in NHL 2K8, a number of other enhancements are included. The goaltending AI of previous games has been scrapped in favor of a new system that incorporates more dynamic, situation-specific behaviors instead of predictable, pre-defined routines. The animations have changed accordingly, as goalies now guard the post, perform dramatic butterfly saves, leave the crease to challenge puck handlers, and more.
Other significant features include a revamped control scheme built around the right analog stick, a different face-off system, and a franchise mode with added layers of depth. Waivers, two-way contracts, salary caps, holdouts, free agents, a player progression system, and an improved off-season are just a few of the details would-be GMs must deal with. All other game modes from previous titles are available in NHL 2K8, from the option to create custom athletes to competing online via Xbox Live. Online players have a special incentive to show off their hockey skills: by entering the official Dodge-sponsored NHL 2K8 tournament, players can win a new car.
I just got this game last week and it has been hard to put it down. I will admit though that there are some things i dont really like about it. The controls are kinda messed up. I am not really fond with the set up that way but it is still fun to play. The graphics are great but they have video shots that they replay alot. Also the starting difficulty Rookie is very easy. I played my first two games on Rookie and won 8-0 and 11-1. Bump it up one notch and it is pretty fun. Now I have not played NHL 08 so I can not compair the two, but NHL 2k8 is about 15-20 bucks cheaper on ebay and that is why i went 2k8.
Awesome. Never been a fan of sports game, but im sold
The "prostick" is ultra fun. Basically, the prostick system let's you control your hockey stick via the right analog stick, alowing you to jungle the puck around,poke check or even hook other players.
The game itself is really deep and has (I believe ) all the options games from other franchise could have!
Only downside is that 2k9 is coming out next month and that the rosters of 2k8 are outaded but hey what can you do!
I had an original Xbox and loved NHL 2k5 and NHL 2k6, so when I bought an Xbox 360, I had to get the 2k version to play. I opted against 2k9, because reviews said the franchise system had a bug that caused the game to lock up and 2k Sports was not patching it (I only play franchise). While NHL 2k8 has everything I had with 2k5 and 2k6, they changed the controls. Now, you have to hit 2 buttons for a slap shot and it is much more difficult to control. Worse, you cannot change the control scheme. Aweful design. Considering 2k messed up 2k9 with the franchise bug, they are heading the wrong direction. I just picked up NHL 09 and it is much better. I recommend going with NHL 09.
Truthfully, I bought the game because my 2 1/2 year old son wanted me to get a hockey game for the Xbox. He enjoys watching it on TV, so he wanted me to get a game too. It is fun to play. I'm not really that great with the controller, so it is difficult to maximize the game experience that the game offers. Overall, I think it is a great game. It looks very realistic.
I enjoy playing the game, but there are some unrealistic traits, but it is a video games so that makes sense. I am little upset on how easy it is to score. This doesn't represent true hockey, and alot of the hits are over the top, but it makes it fun. I enjoy and will continue to play, but there is always room for impovement:)
