Longer gameplay video/interview starting at 11:15 Looks a lot better than the one I linked earlier, my faith has been restored.

Starts at 11:20 for those not wanting an hour long video.

Some of these online modes look crazy.

Gonna have to create some crazy cycles with the Sedin twins and own fools.

I've been a 2K hockey guy since 05. This might be the year to go back to EA.

Bump for the 360 people, demo's out. Pretty good, framerate with the new skating makes it seem much smoother, haven't really gotten the hang of the new deking controls yet. The AI looks really solid so far, they'll actually move the puck around on odd man rushes rather than just absorb the hit, so you have to take away passing lanes instead. I wish we had a higher difficulty setting though, the D is too passive though and lets you set up too easily in the offensive zone, although it does a nice job of showing off cycling.

I must be like the only person who prefers NHL 95.

NHL95 for the computer is superior to nhl94 for genesis - they are very similar.

EGM loved this game even going so far as to compare it to NHL 95 for the genesis. I may have to pick this up after all.

They also trashed 2K8 in small blurb.

Try locking on to certain players for the game. Playing RD for the Ducks is a treat when you can just alternate between being Pronger or Scotty N.

Demo is really smooth I love the new skating engine, the AI is alot smarter on the PP, hitting is finally realistic and a bunch of other little subtle tweaks.

Fighting somehow got worse.
