NHL 08 continues EA's sports series with a focus on improving the controls and delivering a more authentic hockey experience than the publisher's previous effort on Xbox 360, which introduced a new 3D engine. The right analog "skill stick" not only initiates dekes near the goalie, but can also be used to trick defensemen by pushing the puck away in various directions. The skating physics now allow players to adjust the puck handler's speed simply by nudging or pushing the left analog stick with varying pressure.
