The game is slowly losing its appeal with me, as fun as it was initially. Bugs and gameplay problems are driving me to just finish the review and move on.

Have any of you guys playing it seen the "major bugs" that people at OS are posting? Apparently there will be times where players are left completely unguarded allowing the cpu to score at will. And also another bug about the intentional foul not working at the end of games. Im eager to pick up a b...

Sean, yes, Foote was a big part of what made the Civil War special. Also, I like the old narrator from the CW and Baseball. This guy put me to sleep. (Literally, a few nights I dozed by 10:30) I totally agree about the (lack of) experts. That is what made both the CW and Baseball docs fantastic - yo...

I will say this, it was over the top and the coach made an ass of himself but there is a very small part of me that loved seeing a reporter get ripped. 100000% agree. Well, except it wasn't a very small part. It was a big part of me that loved seeing a "columnist" get taken to task for what was pur...

Well, I know that a lot of people are torn on this one, but I'm just having a blast with this game. I get plenty of penalties, plenty of quality goals, etc. Yeah, too many hits, but I'm still have a helluva lot of fun with it. Here's some snapshots I took from my last game against the Sharks. I can ...

I know I know it wasnt all his fault...The defense sucked ...but..Without Henne they will win the Big 10.

That game was less about Michigan as it was the Penn State Top 10 team fraud finally being exposed.

Also, with games being more expensive, people are going to look at games with more of a microscope, see if they're getting good value. Of course it's more negative around here. Look, it's human nature, first of all. People call into radio shows, send letters to the editor and write their Congressma...

For those who are playing franchise mode, does fatigue seem right to you? My entire team is almost totally exhausted 15 games into the season. I've stopped doing any practice/training on off days and my players do not seem to be recovering. Federov looks like he's about to pass out. Young guys, too....

To each their own, but there is some things 2k8 does RIGHT. 1. Faceoffs, best ever in a hockey video game. 2. Camera, I love the panoramic camera. It brings you close to the action, while allowing you to see the whole rink. I honestly think is why the rinks seem small - although I'm not convinced t...

Scoop I can certainly share the sliders but I dunno what they will do for pens...outside of the pen setting being at 100. Maybe it's a play style thing? I do tend to use the standard B check button a lot but that leads to a lot of roughing/charging pens. It has made me use the RS poke check feature ...

I just played a game where Zherdev was in the box *6* times. It was ludicrous. Everytime he touched a guy, I was on PK. And it's friggin finesse man Zherdev! Now--even though I don't agree about the penalty thing in terms of having to press X I don't really like how they are handled in th egame nor ...

The only way to draw a penalty in this game is to use a button specifically designed to physically assault the opponent. That's just plain untrue. I rarely use that hook/grab button and I just spent 23 minutes in the penalty box in my last game against Anaheim. One on a straight B button check (rou...

As a fan for all of my 35 years (yes, from birth) let me say that...while "rebirth of the browns" is a very big stretch considering we gave up *45* points...wow that was a fun game. It was like watching a match race. Winslow, Edwards, JJ, Lewis (200+ yds)..and especially Anderson played marvelous ga...

Someone on OS claims that all games are penalty free even with the penalty slider set to 100. Can someone confirm this? I'm actually tempted to give this game a try on the 360. I can confirm that that particular claim is BS, yes. Lower than what it should be? Maybe a bit. But penalty-FREE? No. Not ...

One other thing for those that don't know. There's a 4th round score bug. The money and points that are given for the FEDEX cup and season mode are based of the 3rd round even if you play 4 rounds. So you could be placed 5th and make a remarkable comeback in the 4th round but the standings and poin...

Did EA take out the concede hole button?

Yes

Well that makes a helluva lot of sense.

thx Leebo

anyone playing this game on PC and if so, do I need a cutting edge system to play it? No. I finished it on a 2.4 GHz, 1 GB ram system with a GeF 6800 Ultra card and ran it on Medium settings with no problems at all. My system meets the game's MIN requirements and it ran like a champ. I can't max st...

The annually over-rated teams, Michigan and ND lose. Where would you have ranked Michigan at the start of the season with all the talent they have on that team? If you say anything other then the top 10 your full of s***. Pre-season polls are still the worst part of college football, even worse tha...

It's arguably the biggest in the history of the sport.

Yes both are 60 FPS

Last night was the NHL 2K8 conference call.
Here's my take for those interested.
