Today Electronic Arts announced a demo for NHL 08, the latest iteration of its hockey franchise, is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The NHL games need more mini-games, so you can actually see and control the action, do this and the game might become fun.
Two of the reports are really just opinions, just like this article. Why report someone for having an opinion when your report is nothing but an opinion? That's called being a hypocrite.
Buy low, sell high. It's a well-known phrase in the stock market and it applies equally well to videogame traders. The Goozex Report breaks down which Xbox 360 games are currently dropping in value so that you don't buy high and sell low.
When it comes to hockey on the 360, you have several choices. This article makes recommendations on which hockey game to choose along with a review of NHL 08. This blog is especially useful for gamers who prefer to trade games as opposed to spending cash. When you trade for games, you're not always playing the latest-and-greatest, sometimes you have to settle for last year's game.
pretty much the exact same as last year
same controls..same look (looks a lil brighter)
there supposed to be more controls for deking..havent figured them out
gameplay seems more realistic...i guess
the menu is the same (ugly black) as last year too
i might rent this...prob. pick it up around xmas
always put a lot of hours into NHL games
Same EA, Same suck. Put a little polish on their turds and put it out for more money. Pretty soon they'll just send out a cardboard box with "EA Sports" written on the side in magic marker. Open it up and find last year's game with a note inside: "thanks, sucka!"
What about the AI - did they fix the horrible AI issues (like defensemen not holding the blueline, etc)??? That was the biggest problem with 07.
If they fixed that, it might be worth picking up.
From the gameplay videos on EA's site they claim to have also allowed independent movement of the stick/puck from player movement - but I'd probably have to try it out to get a feel for that and whether or not it's really enhanced the gameplay at all.
you can also create your own plays
There'll be leagues over LIVE and PSN.
