RE: NHL 08 Online league


I would be interested but don't know much about playing online for the 360 as I have never done it before, but if someone can give me a quick run through I would give it a go (depending on how often we had to play)

I would take Vancouver

Playing online is fairly easy. The toughest part is signing up with XBOX LIVE, Which isn't tough, that's just the toughest part. 

As far as how often we'd play, it would likely be around a 1-2 times a week thing.  Doesn't need to be every night.

Played 5 games last night (5-0) and I can tell the A.I. is certainly improved as it seemed like the computer started to adjust to the way I played.  The controls seemed a little stiff but I really like the way the players skate seems much more realistic.  They have definetly cut down on the amount of times you can one time the puck through the slot and I guess that comes from the improved A.I. as it seemed like a lot more passes were getting blocked or intercepted (especially when I got lazy coming out of my own zone) I like the way they have included the AHL in the years game and the look of the game is very nice.

A couple of down sides I found and maybe it was just me, but when I was winning by a goal or two late (like with a minute or two left) I found it much easier to score it was like the other team gave up and I could go from a 2-0 or 3-1 game to a 4-0 or 5-1 game very easily on goals that normally seemed to get stopped.  I also found I was forced to run around a lot more in the defensive end because it was harder to stick check players off the puck.

Overall I would say it's an improvement over last year and I even enjoyed the skill stick a bit more, they seemed to make it a bit less touchy and you could deke a bit more.

 Will give the details later this week, when more poeple have a chance to play and get used to the game on and offline.


My gamer tag is IllKillYu. I've added Mike, but we've never gotten to play. He probably thinks I'm ducking him, but just haven't been able to yet.

OK, the wife bought me an XBOX 360 and the internet thingy.....I just need to buy the game, although, I feel like I will get hammered by people with inordinate amount of time to play....

I am in.

I have two other friends that might wanna join a league too, it might be more worth our time to take them instead of a couple randoms. So once you fire this up save room for those two guys as well. They got time to play and at least wont be knobs online.
