seriously...NHL games are improving tenfold over the past couple of years, and NHL 08 looks to be the best hockey game of all time.

the new videos also show a new element to NHL 08...deflections! Being a hockey player, i know that deflections make a HUGE impact in the game of hockey, and im glad they put it in this game.

NHL 07 didnt have deflections? You know nothing.

And the goalies need to be improved big time.

deflections meaning actual tipping the puck in the air with your stick...not hitting off people

I like how they put in crossovers, it makes the skating look alot more realistic.

they said the defense learns your exploits and also tries to make you earn the blue line

thats good, but they need to fix the schemes and the way the defense sets it self up, but it does get a little better and better every year
