It's a really fun game, but it's not without its flaws. For instance, a lot of the offseason -- contracts, free agency, etc. -- needs reworking, as do trades. I'm in the midst of an Oilers dynasty in which I'm 19-11-1 in Year 1, on all-star. It actually took me until recently to really get the hang of the game; it's quite fun. Again, though, EA can't get lackadaisical, but they probably will.
Agreed with some bugs, but the gameplay is top notch for the most part. An issue that has just developed for me is when I'm the away team, my game freezes in teh post game menu. :tissue: So Idk how I'm gonna play those games in my franchise.
NHL gameplay is nearly perfect.
The dynasty, however can use a facelift...
I want mid-season contract negotiations, arbitration, more reasonable salaries (Miller demanding 8-9 mil per is quite retarded), and being able to noe re-sogn players (you know what I', talkin about: If you dont sign him, he should be off the team)
Can you imagine 09?

Yes 09 is where it's all supposed to come into it's own potential. It's year 3 of EA's 3 year plan for the game. This next game should involve much deeper franchise mode and better presentation from things like stat overlays more in game and hopefully better fighting and goalie fights.Originally Posted by Smashingt

It is, without a doubt, the greatest video gaming hockey experience ever. The most impressive aspect of the game for me is the way the players glide into their turns, their cross overs, the fact that some of the better players (like Vanek) can really dig into a turn and fend off a checker while holding the puck to the outside. The player movement has never been better.
i like the shootouts with the goalie control
Also...
Authentic Goal Horns would be icing on the cake.
Broken sticks should be in.
And more penalties like delay of game, diving, goalie interference, etc.

I wish I could keep playing my dynasty. But half the time I play, the game freezes at the post game screen and I get frustrated at having to play the game again. I'm now in the waiting stages for 09..
In my pittsburgh franchise everytime malkin shoots it goes in, he's got like 35 goals through like 30 games in all star, its kinda disgusting.
Next year i would love to see more moves on shootouts, specific goal horns, maybe even more throwback jerseys if they can reach something with rbk.

My prospects are good, too...Letang, Grebeshkov, a rook who's a 78 with 94 POT, Card, Funk, Weber, Hunter, Grags, and so on...
