Maneuver and score like never before in NHL 2K8. This year's version features more intense action, greater control and super speed to keep hockey fans hooked. It starts with the NHL Signature Style feature that allows you to customize your player with accurate equipment brands, faces and stick and leg tape patterns. Once you've configured your hockey pro, take to the ice and utilize the all-new ProStick feature that offers full 360° control of the stick. Swipe at the puck at the critical moment to send the crowd into a frenzy and earn all the perks in your contract, just like a genuine NHL athlete.

All-new goaltending with instinctive artificial intelligence features goaltenders that will come out to challenge you at the net. During battles for the puck and struggles to score, a slick soundtrack with artists such as Korn, Bloc Party and others adds to the intensity. Off the ice, the deep Franchise mode covers the business side of pro hockey, such as negotiations, drafts, free agent signing and more. Go online to prove you're the best among players from all over the world and enter the NHL 2K8 Dodge Tourney for a chance to win a shiny new Dodge vehicle.
