Thread: NHL2K 08 v.s. NHL 08

Only purchase NHL 08 if you enjoy getting smacked around by me online because I will gladly feed you your lunch, repeatedly.

I purchased 2K8 and am very happy with it. The 2K series has always brought a superior product to the table, but never made it to the mainstream.

NHL 08 hands down!

I have 2K8 - I like it, but from what I've heard NHL 08 is better. Of course, I'm not going to fork over another $60 to get it, but I'm planning to switch to EA's product when NHL 09 comes out.

Not this time. I have always been a fan of the 2k series. It was left in the dust this year.

NHL 2k8 is easier for people to pick up and just play. I think it's really more for 'casual fans'. The gameplay is pretty fun still and isn't nearly as frustrating as the AI in NHL '08.

However NHL '08 is so deep, it's ridiculous. I think for a real big hockey fan, NHL '08 is really a no brainer.

As someone who owns both, I would say that 2k would be better for a young kid IMHO.

NHL 08 has it all over 2K8 on the 360.

SOT: I was playing NHL 08, and during a replay, there was The Sarah Conner Chronicles ad was on the boards.

08 Is the better game but I get absolutely pissed off at some things the AI do. Theres a lot of things I don't like about it but it's the superior game.
