What Gamespot Users have to say about NHL 2K8

Rating:7.5
It becomes annoying to have to press two buttons to give a good pass, or to make a slap shot. Ice hockey is about speed.
Then, plenty of times I've tried to check a player that is less than a foot away, and my player hits him like a girl. I feel the characters very unresponsive and slow when they have to react to gain the poke or to defend... Read Full Review

Don't be discouraged. Give it some time. For true hockey fans, this is the ONLY game.
Yes, there is a learning curve. A pretty big one... I've been a fan of the 2K series of hockey for a while now. The EA version is too arcade-like for me. 2K has had just the right amount of everything to make it the b... Read Full Review

This is the best hockey sim!
Well by now you've probably read a number of reviews on a bunch of websites(gamespot included) that say that this game is not all that great and that you should go with NHL 08 this year. While I cannot tell you whether N... Read Full Review

It's okay, but 08 is better
Nhl 2k8, the newest edition 2k sports has to it's nhl series. It is definitely 2k's best game, but it cannot compete with nhl 08. It's graphic's are great, but 08's are better. It's gameplay is great, but 08's is bett... Read Full Review

Still has the better gameplay than EA, but did they test this game BEFORE they released it?
I gave this game a 5 based on gameplay alone. There are so many glitches and bugs it's a joke. Here are top 5 bad things about this game. 1. Line changes. Manual line changes are a pain to pull off. You must hold L1... Read Full Review

This is the one this year
The major complaint from most people this year is the controls. Now it is very true that the controls are a little on the complicated side at first, but the training mode offered by 2k this year really does help, and af... Read Full Review

NHL 2K8 is lacking in too many areas to be considered this year's leading hockey simulation.
I'll preface this review by saying that for several years prior I have been a huge advocate of the NHL 2K series. I've passed on EA's offering in favor of 2K because in my opinion 2K has always provided a superior game ... Read Full Review

2k8 vs. 08
This year I purchased both NHL 2k8 and NHL 08. I've been a longtime fan of the 2k series so when it came to playing both games I was a bit biased towards 2k. I first purchased 2k8 in spite of the love it or hate it rev... Read Full Review
