NHL 08 offers up a few control tweaks and minimal updates to the dynasty mode, but that's about it.

If you've been following EA's sports game releases on older consoles and the PC over the last couple of years, the following sentence should be of absolutely no surprise to you: NHL 08 on the PS2 and PC is a lot like NHL 07.
