About this product

Product Information

NHL 08 continues EA's sports series with a focus on improving the controls and delivering a more authentic hockey experience than the publisher's previous effort on Xbox 360, which introduced a new 3D engine. The right analog "skill stick" not only initiates dekes near the goalie, but can also be used to trick defensemen by pushing the puck away in various directions. The skating physics now allow players to adjust the puck handler's speed simply by nudging or pushing the left analog stick with varying pressure. Both tight turns and wider crossovers are also possible by altering the left analog stick's arc motions.

One of NHL 08's more innovative features is the option for owners to edit plays in one of three phases: rush, power play, and offensive zone. Each play type begins with a basic formation and allows users to record subsequent movements on the ice and save the final result for in-game action. A more robust create-player feature supports such minute adjustments as the amount of curve on sticks and blades. Teams can also be created from a pre-defined list of logos, font styles, nicknames, and uniform types. Each equipment piece can even have custom color schemes with the game's new palette editor.

In addition to NHL teams, the game features 29 playable AHL squads, whose athletes can be developed gradually in the farm system until they are ready for their big-league call-ups. New online game types via Xbox Live include Leagues, Shootout, Versus Play, and Team Play. The Leagues option lets NHL 08 owners create 32-team leagues with variable schedules and online stat tracking. Shootout mode has players showing off their stick handling skills on offense and as goalies in a choice of ranked or unranked contests. Versus and Team Play modes allow players to create custom match-ups using any combination of friends on the same system, computer AI, or online opponents.

NHL 08 VS 2K8
For the money $$$, NHL 2K8 is the best looking hockey game his year hands down. The ice is slick and gets torn up as skaters race across it, the screen pops with color and action, and the players are always moving and hungry for the puck. Here is the Question NHL 08 or 2K8? I Have played both and NHL 2K8 Beats out The EA Sports NHL 08.. I'm here to tell you about 2K's impressive and intensive take on the NHL. Like I said before, I realize you're a hockey fan, but I can't assume you know about 2K's history on the ice. Year in and year out, this franchise has made its name by being the top hockey sim around, and fans who have turned to this series for the feel of a real game aren't about to be disappointed -- but they are going to have to learn to play all over again. Hockey games have been integrating the right thumbstick for sometime -- whether it is for dekes or shot modifiers -- but 2K8's default Pro Stick control scheme means your success hinges on mastering the idea of rocking two thumbsticks -- yes, very similar to last year's EA outing -- and the bumpers as your primary method of control. I used to buy the Ea Sports Nhl games but fall in love with the nhl 2k6 and have been buying it for the past 3 years...also did i tell you that it is cheaper in price! I love the Ads on the boards it makes it look like a Real Rink. Harry Nealy and Bob Cole do the PLAY BY PLAY The only thing that bugs me about the game is that the goalies don't have there orginal masks, Ea Sports has the Rights to that! BUY NHL 2K8 AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, THANKS 8.0 Presentation The tree-diagram interface is lame and doesn't fit the fun, fluid style of the game. 8.5 Graphics The players fly around (and reflect in) the ice, the replays are detailed and the cuts to the bench look great. Too bad the crowd looks blah. 8.0 Sound The player sounds, arena rock anthems and general hockey ambience sounds excellent, but the commentary is stiff and the Cinemotion feels phoned in. 8.5 Gameplay The Pro Stick is going to challenge you -- in the best way -- for every score and lead to a real sense of accomplishment and mastery. The computer can be cheap and seems to get all the breaks. 9.0 Lasting Appeal Contract negotiations, free agency, online leagues, player growth and more ensure that if building a dynasty is your thing, this is well worth the price of admission. 9.0 Excellent OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)Read full review

Control brought to a new level.
We all know that sports games are all about control, and NHL '08 has some of the best available. With the left analog stick, you can slow down and speed up your player for maximum control. Also, stick controls are tightened up at close range, so no more randomly deciding who wins face-offs. Also added is a great General Manager mode, for those who wish to run their own hockey team some day. Haha. With amazing graphics and lots of new features, hockey fans definitely need to pick this one up. Happy Gaming!

NHL 2008
Great improvement over last years game, game play has been improved by leaps and bounds. s previously mentioned, NHL 07 was a decent title, but EACA was trying to reinvent the wheel on a tight schedule. The analog control scheme was quickly adopted by players, but it wasn’t altogether technically sound and it wasn’t as effective as gamers thought it would be at shredding defenses. Throw in a one-speed (fast) skating system, dumb-as-rocks A.I. and checking that was more like a head-on car wreck, and you can see why NHL 07 didn’t exactly blow the critics off of their blades.

NHL 08 (Xbox 360)
The best NHL game other than NHL 09. Great play in defense & offense. I love the new dual stick control; why did we ever use the buttons to shoot with before. There is a glitch that keeps the puck laying near the net after you make a shot and no one can seem to pick it up for like 10-seconds. Luckly it only happens very rarely and it really doesn't hurt the game, but it is very sloppy when it happens. Over-all great game and if that glitch is fixed in the 09 version then it will be pretty close to perfect.

NHL 08
NHL 08 is by far the best Hockey Sim game to date. Now that can all change in a month, with NHL 09, but until then, the graphics, sound design, game play, announcers, crowd fx, get you pumped to play whoever and whatever! My only gripe is what most people have said and that is something in the code that no matter what skill level you are at, the computer just does its own thing and brings a can of whup-butt your way. Before anyone says " Well you just stink..." Yes, they would not be that far off in their opinion, but those who have played and continue to do so know exactly what I am talking about. Although it can become tiresome to get a lame penalty called for some BS, all that aside, one can pick up this game and have in no time.
