Replays are WAY too short, sometimes you dont even see the actual play develop, u might just see the goalie floundering for the puck

the gameplay although improved doesnt seem that big of a change over 07, the deking is definatly improved but i've found it nearly impossible to use the 1 on 1 deke in the neutral zone against 2 defenders, or even against 1 coming down the wing

I was used to the awsome highlights and intros of 2k7, with this there's 5 seconds of anthem then the puck is dropped

very little variety in character creation, the Dynasty mode seems OK, but somewhat bland considering the addition of the AHL affiliate

i dunno..it seems like I had alot more fun a couple months ago playing 2k7 on the PS3 rather than 08, i'll play through a season i guess and see how it goes

oh, also another gross function of 08 is the shootout challenges, shootouts against the computer when the computer is using the other teams top players it will perform the same move every single time, same result, so it's pretty much useless to hit rematch
Totally agree with you. 2K7 was a good game. It almost makes me want to get 2K8 if I wasn't so loyal to EA. If it only had the deking play of EA it would be complete.

Also, it is not smooth. You can tell the PS3 is 30 fps. I played the demo of the 360 and it was like butter. It doesn't hinder game play but does make it less enjoyable.

I am also going to play a season and see how it goes.
