Once you're all alone in front, improved stick handling and shooting accuracy will give you the toolset to beat your goaltender for that decisive goal.

  • Take any team into practice mode and train them to run custom rush and in-zone plays in game. Do you want your team to run cycle plays down low? Or feed the point for a one-timer? Record the exact movements of each player in practice mode and watch as your team's AI executes them in gameplay
  • New analog speed control of the left stick gives you the variance you need to glide into the zone with control or get a burst of speed to step up on a defender. With new skating animations and responsiveness, you have the control to perform crossovers to maintain speed or carve tight turns for an immediate change in direction
  • 29 AHL teams - the top developmental league for the NHL - are exclusively featured and fully playable. Develop your talent with their minor affiliate until you are ready to call them up for the show. Be the GM and manage your team from the ground up while staying under the salary cap.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Why the NHL doesn't get it
How do you market your sport if you can't get your video game right? This is an opportunity to grow your audience and the NHL can't make sure that all of their players have headshots!!

The play is smooth and no real cheese moves like the older games.

The announcing is totally random and often doesn't even match the play. "What a hit" .... um ... there was no check ... some guy just scored a goal.

Oh well, it is what it is.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good game
It's a good game for those who love hockey and hockey video games. They could have improved in alot of areas but overall it's a good game to play.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Valiant Effort With Some Setbacks
I must confess, the last NHL game I picked up before this one was 2004, so there may be some features I bring up that were also in previous years which I am unaware of. For the most part, NHL 2008 is fun and addictive, and there are no other NHL games that compare. I was only going to write a three star review, but most of the gameplay issues go away in multiplayer mode.

I find this game to be very similar to past years, with some different things here and there, but I was able to ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just a shame...
NHL 08

It was the most excited I had been for a game in a really long time. They were finally adding the AHL and you could develop a minor league system. I had read a lot of reviews and they all said basically the same thing: This game is the best hockey game they had ever played. The perfect amalgamation between a hockey sim and an arcade game. The movement was ultra realistic and the puck physics were incredible. It was the ultimate hockey game.
I got the game delivered ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointment
I waiting what seemed like forever for this game to come in the mail and when if finally got here, all I have to say is what a disappointment! The game looks exactly, i mean exactly like the 07 version. The new controls don't add much. They saved most of the new features and innovation for the PS3 version and threw out the 07 game with a different cover. I can't even recommend buying it for updated rosters as the ones on the game are very old, probably from 07 as well. I've always bought EA Sports ... Read More
