 Seriously Flawed June 5, 2008
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.

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.
Buyer Beware.
 still early but I think its better than EA nhl 08 November 10, 2007

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.
NHL 08 > NHL 2K8 November 4, 2007

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!
