NHL 2K8 VeNOM Sliders v.2021

[VeNOM3099]

Hello everyone! Don't know if any will recognize me, but I used to be a well known slider maker back in the day. I've been playing a lot of NHL 2K8 lately, and since there seems to be some demand for my sliders, I'd thought I would share them here if anyone wants them.

Keep in mind, these are just a BASE for the sliders, you can go ahead and edit where you think it makes the game harder or easier for you.

Hope you enjoy!

Updates: Added Controller Options and tweaked the gameplay a little to make goalies have more save animations while not being too OP.

Update 2: Tweaked the Offensive Skill slider and adjusted some of the other sliders to compensate. Should see more AI cycling this time. Playing really good defense is the key to keeping the shot count down. Goalies had to be toned down a bit as there were too many 0-0 games in my tests.

Totally remember you. Good memories of the 2khockey-dot-net days. Always liked your slider take on hockey.

Really awesome you're back. I would like to see you do more 2K games and give your takes on sliders in each.

There's something mythical about your 2K10 sliders on this forum lol

Thank you. I plan on releasing 2K10 sliders soon, as it were. Thanks to Tougie24 there seems to be a resurgence for old 2K Hockey games lately, so might as well! I'm having issues with game speed and general AI behavior (something you can actually change to a degree in 2K's game), but as soon as I have those ironed out they should be good to go.

I know you're name and I'm about a year into owning 2k10. I use your sliders for that game and absolutely love it. Welcome back and thanks for sliders that held up through the years. Glad to see you're back at it.

I'm honored you still use my sliders. You might be happy to know I've just posted a new set, slightly tweaked, from the ones I shared all those years ago.

Not sure who Tougie24 is unless he has a different name here but I feel that it should be mentioned that the 2K8 and 2K10 parts of OS (in addition to several other years) would not be in any way what they are today without snowdrift, WWEDX2007, austrianredwing, molifox, nikethebike, and a few others over the past 3 years.
Have a look at how far rosters have come across the NHL2K library over that time in our Roster Updates thread. It's really impressive. It's definitely up there with many other classic game communities.

I'm glad the 2K community has remained over the years. It's a shame we'll never get rewarded with another NHL title.

Tougie24 is a Streamer/Youtuber who's recently been playing NHL 2K10 (he's also an EA Gamechanger). He's recently promoted the 2021 Roster update by Rangers9911 on his stream which he'll be trying out. You should check out his NHL 2K10 series either on twitch or youtube. You'd like!

PS: You should also watch his NHL 2K10 Review and watch a grown man who's played only EA NHL games absolutely GUSH over a 2K game: NHL 2K10 Hindsight
