This thread is a bit late, considering that this game came out mid-2007. However, it deserves it's own thread anyway.

I know there arn't a lot of VN hockey fans, but this year's EA installment is the best hockey game in years. I picked it up a few weeks ago and can't put it down.

The graphics are amazing; at 720p, you'll swear your at Philips Arena watching a live game. The game play is incredible and innovative- you actually use both analog sticks to control 90% of the action. You now ahve 100%control over how you move your stick; making for some awesome goalie fake-outs and dekes.

The dynasty mode a extremely deep; taking you into the strategy, coaching, trading, and finances of a pro hockey team. Salary caps coming play, so you can't just overload your team with all the best guys in the league.

Even if your not a hockey fan, this game is still a blast. Give it a rent sometime and let me know what you think.

I haven't play a hockey game in a few years but always love them. I'll try to rent this within the next week and if that doesn't work sometime in May.

I may try the blockbuster further down on Kingston tomorrow or something. What is better - 2k8 or EA?

well went to the other blockbuster and they only had 07 too and I was really addicted to the marketplace demo so I just went ahead and bought 08. I haven't done anything but play it (except for a brief break for the Canadiens game last night).

it really is. its also one of the few games that can get me truly emotional. When I score a goal its usually followed by a fist pump of some sort.
