This is my 4th release for NHL08. In this version NHL players' attributes are all changed and team lines are all updated. In AI there's just minor changes in passing and checking.
The gameplay is realistic and the CPU is now harder to beat.
Gameplay is faster and CPU defends much better.
Changes to roster:
- NHL all 100% done with minor players. (salaries, contracts, attributes etc.)
- Eastern and Western all-star team rosters are 100% correct. (Fantasy World And NA teams included)
- AHL 100% done. New players created including some ECHL players.
- Some 2008 draft pick prospects are made in the Placeholders slot with NHLVIEW.
You can put them in your dynasty to the draft pool slot with NHLVIEW. Then you can use them in the 2008 draft pick. (Remember to backup your files!)
- SM-Liiga all 100% done with all players, juniors and real schedule 07-08. (salaries, contracts, attributes etc.). Compatible with Finnish hockey revolution - mod (http://www.hockeyrevolution.com/)
- World Championship rosters 100% done. Players, numbers, attributes etc
- Other national teams will be updated some day, including Hungary and England (sorry for some people). Elitserien, DEL and Extraliga may be coming up somewhere in the future.
- And in july/august there will be updated next year's rosters and transactions etc.

Tell me how u liked this addon. Let's play hockey .
So I downloaded this and was able to score massive amounts of goals on the opposition. I started a new dynasty and within the first 4 games (@LA, vsLA, @DET, @PIT) as the Anaheim Ducks I had 27 goals. 8 against LA, 9 against LA, 4 against DET, 6 against PIT. I'd say about 40% of these were cross ice passes, but its the nature of hockey that out-numbered attacks happen, and I don't want to take away from reality and ruin a great scoring oppurtunity. I guess I'll have to enter the zone and set up my attack before every shot, maybe that'll be more realistic. Can't we just make all goalies 99 lmao, maybe that'll help!
Hey, thanks for the roster updates. I'm completely new to this and have no idea what I'm doing... I tried to install one set of updates and the game continued to crash. I repaired and started over again. I am using Vista, and you tell us to use the "Vista 32 BHImport.bat" file. But it's not included in the archive that I've downloaded. Was that an oversight?
Yes u need to run the "Vista 32 BHImport.bat" file if u have Vista. Sorry I should have it included in the package, but u can found it for example from this file http://www.nhldepot.net/ndforums/dow...o=file&id=1839...
