thread_title:  NHL 08 Cover 

message: Some of these reviews and specs on the old NHL Hockey games by EA Sports are great but they leave out important factors.  NHL 95 has totally different gameplay, it doesn't feel like any of the other games earlier in the series.  Also, NHL 95 on the SNES was the only version you could create and trade players, PC version aside.
Overall, I think NHL 94 on the Sega CD is the best version of NHL 94 and it's one of the best hockey games to date, I don't feel that new hockey games like NHL 2004 have the same gameplay.  Too much flash and glamor, too many buttons you never use...  Pass, check and shoot is all you really need in a hockey game.
I agree.  This page is extremely vague when it comes to the older (and better) versions of the game.  I think that some of the earlier games (especially NHL 94) should warrant its own page.4.172.153.142 23:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: When looking for NHL 2K6, this article on the EA Sports NHL series appears.  However, NHL 2K6 is the first NHL game published under the 2K Sports banner, and should not redirect to EA's series.  It should be redirected to another site related to the 2K series.
: Thanks.  I've changed the redirect to point to 2K Games instead.  Since there's only one game in that series so far (and no article on 2K Sports), that's probably the best place to point the redirect for the time being. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 03:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't it be a good idea to put a link at the top of the page for people who ended up here when looking for the actual NHL. Several article titles, such as NHL 07, could just as well be about the real life hockey season, at least in the minds of people who aren't familiar with the video game market.... /85.194.44.18 20:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, I don't think anyone would call the 2006-07 NHL season or the 2007-08 NHL season "NHL 07" as that makes no sense. At least not in my mind. Bsroiaadn 02:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have NHL 2005 for Gamecube and I knoew this is to change the page, but in he shootouts it makes you be the goalie for your team and I don't know how to make save.  All I can do is try to get in the way of the puck.  Does anyone here know how to? 70.100.165.76 01:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Just wondering about this.  Under the information box for NHL 08, it says that EA Canada is developing PS3, Xbox360, and Wii versions, and that the Wii port release date is February 2008.  It also lists the Wii as a platform, and the Wii remote and nunchuck as input devices.
Can someone please post a reference for this?  I wish it were so (as a Wii owner and hockey fan), but I haven't seen anything on the internet to indicate that EA is working on a Wii port of NHL 08.  If there is no evidence of a forthcoming Wii port, then the Wii should probably be removed from the list of platforms for this game.140.251.125.50 19:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

message: EA Hockey was released in North America long before Europe, as well it was the first game in this series.  Whomever is writing this series article seriously needs to check out the reality of the series.  
EA Hockey was first, NHL Hockey came afterwards.  Do you even play these games?  Inferior EA Hockey gameplay compared to NHL Hockey makes this quite evident.
1.  EA Hockey was released in North America.
2.  EA Hockey was first introduced to North America.
3.  EA Hockey was Electronic Art`s first hockey game.
4.  NHL Hockey was released after EA hockey`s first quarter '91 release.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.153.94 (talk) 21:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I changed the review scores to a table format.  Normally the template I used floats to the right, but when I put it in, it was being floated to the left of the game infobox, which looked kinda ugly.  So I aligned it left and used a  to make sure the next section started on a new line below the table.  If the reviews and awards subsection gets more info in the future, I'm thinking the box could be moved back to the default right side.--Rockfang (talk) 07:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeh, would be a good idea, especially because this page limits hogw much information each game is going to have and like Hasek said we need infoboxes for the games. Salavat (talk) 02:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Ok everybody, I've already started to split up the article, because it's way too long, and because as FogDevil said, it's not fair when FIFA and Madden all have their own articles and NHL only has this long heck of an article.

message: I added this particular section based on what I've been reading in EA's official NHL PC forums, seen here: http://forums.ea.com/mboards/forum.jspa?forumID=4096
Any input is appreciated, but a lot of the facts are missing regarding why EA decided not to improve the Windows version alongside the "next-gen" console versions.  However, I think there's a fair amount of Windows fans who have been paying for the Windows version for the last few years and being disappointed, which is why I added the section.
