My personal review for PC:

I gave it a chance. But I am honestly very disappointed. I would rather play NHL07 and download/make the correct roster. Things that annoy me in NHL0X continue to annoy me now. Kiprusoff seems to lose a game when I shoot 40 shots on the other team, and score only one goal yet they manage to get 5 goals. I am not that bad at defence, they just score on every two shots. Brutal. Not realistic at all.

The opposition never takes penalties unless they are down by 2+ in the last 5 min of the game. Then they take 6 cross checking penalties. BOOO.

It is impossible to poke the puck away from an opponent, and it is hard to hit them but that is cool, just the poking thing sucks.

And again, the opponents seem to be able to skate faster than my guys. No way Chelios is faster than Lombardi, no way at all.

All I have to say is that NHL08 makes me want to contact EA sports for a refund. I am really disappointed. I could have just updated my roster and at least had some decent playability. I have bought at least 5 hockey games from them, but I think that EA has lost a repeat customer.
