  NHL 2K8 VS EA SPORTS NHL 08
Review created: 09/20/07(updated 09/23/07)
10 of 14 people found this review helpful.

For the money $$$, NHL 2K8 is the best looking hockey gamethis 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'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 THIS GAME 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)

You are going to find a bunch of EA Fanboys around bashing this new game. I just bought it and have found it great! The goalies and AI are enhanced and the gameplay is very fun. I have followed this series a long while and it is great! They even allow you to use 2k7 controls if you dont feel like adapting! i recommend this 100%. That being said 2008 is good in its own sense. A little slow for my liking but i find this one more fun.

  Great game!
Review created: 08/14/09

I'm a big fan of 2ksports games. I feel they are better than EA in many ways.

The hockey game has enough detail to please real hockey fanatics, but also is easy enough to learn for the amateur/casual fan.

I recently bought the game (nearly 2 years after its original release) and it seems the online lobbies are no longer functioning, but you can still play friends online using the 'invite a friend' feature.

I don't know much about the newer or older versions of this game to give you a comparison, I chose this version because it fit my budget.

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.

the game arrived safely and in perfect condition.I'd consider buying from them again. Personally though i prefer the NHL 2008 version for the PS2 better because you use both control sticks for everything, and it was hard to go back to using the buttons.

  Disappointing
Review created: 12/26/08
by:

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.

  NHL hockey as real as it gets
Review created: 09/03/08

Players get to control there favorite hockey team all the way from front office decisions down to minor league call ups. Manage your favorite team for a whole season, can't play that long custom lenght season availabe with full meun of choices of how you want to play your season. Great game lots of passing, shooting and checking from Hockey's biggest stars.

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!

Take a look at this video first:

Now I know that Wii's are really great and loads of fun for families, but just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup, and the end result is that you get a good game console for free instead of paying upwards of $500 for a Wii. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do). The best offer to do is STAMPS.com. Its free; all you need to do is register for a four week trial and quit after 3 weeks for credit.

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free Xbox 360 Elite or cash? Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 9-12 people or friends (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay or any other message board, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your Xbox 360 Elite or your selected item for free (I chose the playstation3). No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though (or you could post my link, I don't mind :D). You will get your own personal link after your order is placed.

Step 1: Click my link: http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer up to 12 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your Xbox 360 Elite or Cash for FREE!! (Even The Shipping Is Free!!!)

There are also links on the website for similar offers to get free Wii's and PS3's, but it'd be great if you would help me get referrals :D

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:)

This seller will RIP YOU OFF like he did me.
I bought an Xbox 360. The first one came in and did not work. The machine broke a $50 game. I sent back the machine, a remote controller and the broken game. (another 30 bucks)
The seller sent me a new machine and the face plate is broken on it. He did not replace the controller and game like he said he would.
I left a negitive feedback on ebay and he started to threaten me. He calls names and swears at his customers. I tried to go through Pay Pal - they cancelled my claim becuase I didn't send the machine back. I would have been out 100 bucks! 45 for 3X shipping and a 50 bucks game.
The seller then said that he wouldn't send anythng back until I removed the feedback.
I removed the feedback and waited another two weeks.

When I finally got the package the game was still broken. He promised to fix it.

Do not do business with him!

Do business with aievideogames and you will regret it!
BEWARE!
