PC VERSION IS NOT THE SAME AS PS3 and Xbox 360. This is the biggest scam of all time in PC Gaming history.

I didn't know that NHL 08 for PC was not the same as the NHL 08 release on the PS3 and XBox 360. So all those good looking graphics, game play options and new features shown on the web site ARE NOT on the PC version of the game. NHL 08 for Pc is almost identical to the NHL 07 version. The sames animations (when I say "the same" I mean it...it's identical even in the pre-game presentation), the same commentaries, the same interface (with new graphics) with even the same glitch (not being able to use game pads in the "in game" menus). The "create zone" is identical to the one of NHL 07 up to the shirts and logos. The graphics are the same, the AI is the same, the same tactics works.....well you got it!

You cannot go over 1024X 768 in the resolution and you don't even have the 16:9 format.

The only difference (and the "only" is not a figure of speech) is the new way of shooting and passing with the right Analog stick which is not big of a deal as I find it difficult to be precise with it. The way to make deke with it though is good.

The only good thing about NHL 08 is the fact that you don't need a state of the art computer to play it. But since almost every NHL gamers already have NHL 07, it make no sense to pay 40 bucks for a patch as NHL 08 is nothing more than that.

EA is laughing at PC gamers with this game. The miss representation they've done on their website, not showing the PC version is inexcusable. I want to know why EA didn't provide PC Gamers with a Next Gen game, particularly since NHL 06 and 07 are basically patches of NHL 05. I have all NHL games since 1994 and even in the bad years I was patient because I don't believe that you can produce such a different game every years like they pretend to be doing. But with Next Gen console I was 120% sure that the PC version would be Next Gen too....It doesn't make any sense. It's a rip off and I will never buy an EA Sport game ever.
