Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-06-05  
Seriously Flawed
Had the same problem as the above reviewer, the game freezes in franchise mode. For me, the date was always November 28th.
Additionally, the commentators during gameplay are horrible. This for me is usually not a big issue, because I NEVER consider this an integral part of the game. However, the announcers consistently declared that my goalie (the one on the bench) had won the face-off. Annoying. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-02
BUYER BEWARE
This game started off ok. Around December 11 for me the game suddenly froze. Couldn't do anything. So I emailed 2K sports about it. They replied with this:
You'll run into a freezing issue any time you use the trade finder, save your franchise, restart the system, and sim/play a game between the dates of Nov 20th and the trade deadline with CPU trading turned on. There is only one way to use the trade finder safely without causing problems in your franchise. After using the trade finder you must sim/play a day between Nov 20th and the trade deadline with CPU trading turned on before saving your franchise. So find trades, sim/play a day, then save.
The problem is I never play with computer trading on. The computer makes the worst trades. So the franchise is freezing anytime I make a trade. Is there a patch? Absolutely not. They rushed this thing to get out and now a lot of people are stuck with a $60 piece of junk.

still early but I think its better than EA nhl 08
I've been playing EA sports nhl series since 1995. I still think NHL 95 is the best version they ever created. BTW, I have the NHL Hockey TV game sold here on Amazon also. With NHL 08 I find the controls to be frustrating. Though it may be a bit of a learning curve to adjust to 2k8's control scheme, I just think its much better than NHL 08. I've played the NHL 08 demo and like some earlier version of the series I hate the control aspects. I rented 2K8, despite the lesser reviews compared to NHL 08. I'm glad I did. Finally, a satisfying game of hockey! Its not perfect, but at least I enjoy playing it. Something I cannot say for Ea sports games anymore. | | Reviewed on 2007-11-04
NHL 08 > NHL 2K8
NHL 2K8 is now stuck in the mud and getting stale. It doesn't even feel Next Gen compared to NHL 08. I played both games and NHL 08 is easily the better hockey game this year by far. Get back to the drawing board 2K! | |
