NHL '05 with a the addition of the skill stick and updated rosters. That's it.

User Rating: 3 | NHL 08 PC
This game is a complete piece of garbage. If you want NHL '08, get it for a next-gen console if you have one. The differences between the console versions and the PC version are vast: the console version has better graphics, better gameplay, better realism, and pretty much better everything else. The gameplay is so fast and ridiculous that I don't even think they should be able to call this a hockey "sim". In fact, the ONLY thing I can think of that's good about the PC version is that they included the German League, where the 360 version does not. I can't believe EA has the nerve to charge $40 for this game...it's disgusting. They need to get their act together and put some effort towards the PC versions of their games.

Bottom Line: don't buy it. Don't even think about buying it. I wish there was a "who cares" selection for the difficulty, because I sure as hell don't.
