I really feel like buying sports game now but i want to know wichs ones are better and why? So what's yout oppinion in : NHL 08 Vs NHL 2K8 and why? NBA Live 08 Vs NBA 2K8? Madden 08 Vs All-Pro football 2K8? Fifa 08 or PES 08? I'm talking in the matter of the series since most of those games are not out yet... As for what i know for now... PES is way better than fifa, the graphics are a bit below fifa but the gameplay... is almost like playing a real soccer game. Fifa is way to arcade and teamwork is only an option but not in PES What about you?

For hockey i would definatley go with EA, they have completely redone the skating animations(included crossovers), the one on one battles looks awsome, plus graphically it looks great, also there letting you create your own plays.Also the deking is pretty cool. I havne't heard much of NHL 2k8, but 2k hasn't changed there gameplay in a while, i played 2k7 on the ps3 and it felt very similar to the 2k6 on ps2 other than it awsome looked really good on the ps3. Plus im not sure if there planning on introducing some sort of manuel deking on 2k8, there wasn't really a great deking system in 2k7, but then again i haven't heard to much of 2k8.

Yea Hockey and Basketball, 2k8

Madden 08 for football; Madden has football locked down. I don't think there is anything better than Madden(at least for now).

For hockey pick up NHL 08 because it is going to be KILLER!!! 07 was amazing last year with the shot stick and EA Sports pushed it to a new level this year and added the skate stick so 2K8 will have NOTHING on 08. For bball I am undecided because I want to see what Live brings to the table but 2K8 will be a solid game for sure. For football, APF 2K8 was okay but that's it. madden will more than likely blow it out of the water.

Here's my picks:

Madden NFL 08

PES 08

NBA 2K8(unless NBA Live really improves on the gameplay)

Not sure about the NHL games, don't bother with hockey, but I'll just go with NHL 08

My list would be FIFA 08, NHL 08, Madden 08, and NBA 2k8.

I've always preferred FIFA over PES. There's always been a few things that really bug me about PES (not counting licensing).

The only time I liked NHL 2k more than EA's offering since the 04 games was NHL 2k5. NHL 07 was amazing, and 08 looks even better.

I played APF 2k8, and while it does a few things better than EA (such as animations), I still much preferred playing NCAA 08, which is usually a good preview of Madden.

The only times I preferred NBA 2k to Live was 2k2, and 2k7. I even preferred Live 06 on 360 to 2k6. I really didn't like 2k6 for some reason (it looked like garbage on my SD TV). But NBA 2k7 was amazing. NBA Live 07 was horrendous! So this one could be a toss-up, but I would pick NBA 2k8 until NBA Live can prove me wrong.

NHL- IF EA pulls of what they said they would,go for 08, so wait for the reviews.

NBA- 2K pretty much a given.

NFL- Madden for sure.

Soccer/Football- Depends, it seems like casual fans like FIFA more while more hardcore fans like Pro Evolution.

I won't buy it no matter what. EA always over promises and under delivers. I will not waste $60.

2k pretty much owns basketball. That series is so amazing.

But go with Madden, NHL 08, and I hate soccer so I don't care. :D
