Maybe it's 80/1000

so no one saw that Jason Allison (who is trying to comeback into the NHL) isn't listed in FA yet Jamie Storr is listed under FA

When's the demo coming out???

Someone had suggested on another forum that both games' demos were being delayed until after release so they could still get the "hardcore player" sales first. (In case the games weren't up to snuff.)

I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's an interesting notion.

That would explain why Madden's demo came out last week. Which I'm glad I waited for, by the way.

hmm guess i'll be polishing up on my online skills till the season starts and wait for the roster update. im just too lazy to manually edit the teams roster.

Okay, so this thread
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre...=184517&page=2

says that EGM magazine reviewed NHL08 for the Xbox360 and its 3 reviewers gave the it 9, 9, and 9.5 ratings.

That's about as high as any sports game can rate. I can't wait to get a hold on this thing.

92 from EGM
and 85 from OXM

"Yes, NHL 08 can feel challenging and hard, but it rewards you with the sport's best representation in videogame form that we've seen yet. [Oct 2007, p.73]"

Demo is out on xbox live.... wish I could play it.
