It looks and sounds fantastic (if you are a hockey fan).

ya, nhl 2k7 was very dissapointing and is my only ps3 game collecting dust. after playing nhl'07 with the skill stick, there is no going back.

Same here. The 60 fps and revamped skating engine excite me. The additions to the skill stick also seem fantastic.

I am a huge fan of video game hockey, and am waiting to see which one I will eventually buy. I was pretty sure I am going to be getting a 2nd generation '08 title since they will likely be better than the '07 ones....

Wow, that "skill stick" feature sounds awesome!

ya as sports go, video game hockey is great even if you are not a fan of watching or playing the real thing. I'm a Canadian living near Vancouver so I don't have much choice but to be a hockey fan. I had to pledge allegiance to the Canucks as soon as I learned how to speak

The NHL series by EA has been garbage since NHL94.

there have been good hockey games since NHL 94, but i think NHL 94 was the greatest hockey game ever made.

94 was a quantum leap in playability, but so was 2001 when players became more animated and skated more realistically, and the skill stick has now revamped the fun of the franchise to levels unreached by other companies. And frankly, it feels kinda weird to defend ea since I am disappointed it takes so long for such innovations.

Sounds like they got the AHL in the game as well. Very nice thus far.
