Video Game Reviews of NHL 2K8
Customer Review: Great Depth of Gameplay and Control
Summary: 5 Stars
Having played both this game (NHL 2K8) and NHL 08 from EA...I think this one takes the blue ribbon. While NHL 08 graphics are just slightly better, the difference is minor and the gameplay makes up for it in large measure.
The control the prostick gives you over handling the puck is the best I have seen in a hockey game. It took a little bit to get used to the controls, because I have been so used to EA's typically uniform controls over all it games. After a few games, I got the hang of it and it is some much easier to use... And for those that like the classic controls, they are still available in NHL 2K8.
The depth of franchise mode is nice, including its more realistic contract and trade structure. There does seem to be a minor flaw in the trade structure at times. You will be contacted by a team for a potential trade they are interested in, but when you go to execute the trade it sometimes is rejected. Weird!!
Overall, love this game. Its addicting and a blast to play.
