NHL 08 and NHL 2K8: Which Is More Accurate?

September 17, 2007 12:42 pm - Author: Shanker Srinivasan

Both EA and 2K get their fair share of complaints and whining when they post player ratings. A player is either too fast, too slow, too stupid, overpowered, or whatever. Some of this is certainly a result of biased fans who hate to see their favorite players getting dissed in the game. Others simply complain to justify why they lost their last game. In the end, the developers at EA and 2K may be the least biased of us all.

But what happens when the two titles have vastly different ratings? Surely one must be more accurate than the other, but which one? Sportsgamer lists the largest discrepancies and let you be the judge.

The attributes are divided into 4 categories: Skating, Offense, Defense, and Intangibles. For each category we list the largest inconsistencies by position. Unfortunately, we were not able to include a catagory for scoring because the two titles have structured their attributes in such a way that they are not directly comparable.

Skating

 

Offense




 

Defense




 

Intangibles

I cant believe how low the overall ratings of Carle and Cammalleri are in 08 and Im not even a Sharks or Kings fan!

You gotta remember too that 2K and EA both have different styles of hockey games. A 75 rating may make sense in NHL 08 because EA's rating scale goes from 50-99. However, a 50 rating may make sense in 2K because their rating scale goes from 1-99.

You also are playing a completely different game.
