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.
Since I can’t afford the outrageous amount they still want for a PS3, this, I think, is at or near the end of the line as far as games for the PS2 are concerned. I played the heck out of the ’07 version. Which is pretty good. I wanted to see what EA Sports screwed with this time (as it seems they have a penchant for excluding some of the better parts of older games?). As far as the gameplay, the only complaint I have is your opponents goalie ties up the puck for a faceoff practically everytime he gets a hold of it. Leading to well over 100 faceoffs per game. It takes about two hours for me to finish a game because of all the faceoffs. If you can keep getting rebounds off the goalie the game won’t take as long to complete. Hence the reason for the 4 stars.The item was packaged well and arrived at the estimated time.
I initially had a hard time getting the game to play, but after a while we were able to get it working. I don’t know if the problem was the game or the console. But my other games work fine. I am happy
The game works great and its fast paced
Great product in good condition as advertised. Thanks.
good
Game came right and on time !
The player creation is okay. And the fact you can choose a nickname is awesome. The hybrid controls are slightly annoying. But it does have a classic controller setting witch makes up for it. The menu is easy to navigate and trades are simple enough to pull off with the trade menu. Much easier then any of the WII games if you want a more arcade hockey feel
EA Sports NHL 08 is far better than the past two seasons efforts. One of the first things you will notice is that it does present itself a lot like 06 and 07 in terms of graphics and audio. However, the players move much more realistic and true to how certain players act and play the game. Goalies are MUCH improved as is the overall gameplay. Playing on the difficuly level is actually challenging and fun. Those wanting a more hockey sim from EA Sports will be rather pleased with this game (I have played 10 minute periods on difficult and average scores like 4-1, 3-2; with under 40 shots on goal for and under 20 against. Amazing saves and body checks that are totally realistic–not a hitting frenzy as in the past).There are a few problems which shouldn’t really hurt the game overall. Rosters on the NHL teams are a little old (i.e.Ranger fans will still see Cullen and Ortmeyer on the team). However, major signings and deals over the summer are in this game. Missing a rookie or two from your lineup? That may not be a problem. NHL 08 packs a full AHL league and rosters as you can call up anyone (and I mean anyone) and place them on your active roster (if your rookie played at least one game in the AHL last season, then you will find him on the AHL team). The only other issue with this years hockey release is that the game tends to lag and bog down when there is too much action in front of the net at one time–it’s a noticable, but a minor flaw.The rest of the game wil.
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 pick up the controller and start playing it with no problems. Some reviewers complained of slow-down’s in front of the net, and while this does occur it is quite rare. There are also some slow-down’s when you dump the puck down ice, but this has only happened a couple times to me. Something new to me is the ability to initiate a fight yourself at just about anytime you would like. I have also seen fights change the momentum of games. While I knew 2008 wouldn’t be much different than past years, I knew I wanted to play with guys like Crosby and Ovechkin, which is a major reason for purchasing this game.There are a handful of issues I have with the gameplay and hopefully they will be changed in future years or improve on PS3. First and foremost, is the issue with the shooting. Shooting and scoring are extremely difficult. I use manual shooting, which the game defaults to. Involved in the shooting is a bullseye that moves around the net before you release the button to aim your shot. The only.
