EA SPORTS – pioneers in the Golden Age of hockey videogames – continues to
lead the charge in the next gen era with advancements in AI intelligence,
innovative controls, online depth and an unmatched level of authenticity to the
sport.

The revolutionary Skill Stick System evolves in NHL 08 and delivers an
unparalleled level of control. An all-new deking system enables you to move the
puck off your stick, to walk around a defender and give you space in front to
challenge the goalie. Enhanced analog speed control and a new skating engine
give you the precision and fluidity to play like you would on the ice.

NHL 08 will feature an exclusive AHL license for the first time, with all 29
teams from the primary development league for the NHL fully playable in game.
