There is no better hockey sim than 2k8. Everything is here and then some. What really makes this game is its addictiveness and challenging characteristics. It draws you in with slick controls and keeps you there with devastating checks. The way checks feel and look are my favorite part of this game, and the one timer is almost as satisfying. Scoring is a little harder to do, which is an improvement because in the last installment, i would win on the hardest difficulty by at least 5 goals. This is the only sports game where you constantly feel the beat in ur chest. Its because goals are so rare, and the action never stops that the game constantly makes ur heart race. You will be screaming at the TV for all three periods whether ur winning or losing, guaranteed.
P.S.- Sid the Kid and the pens whoop ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
