OMFG "STILL" no widescreen support only the same old

800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

This is taking the p!ss now i was hoping so much they would add them this time round, (was playin 06 due to no work around for 07) Also from what i have heard its still the same 05/06/07 game engine so basicly its just updated rosters and a few things added to the trick stick - Woopy Do! Why does madden 08 get widescreen resolutions but not NHL 08 or Tiger woods 08 and most proberly NBA 08. EA are seriously forgeting about pc sports gamers.

How popular are w/s Lcd's now? 80% desktop pc's are sold with w/s monitors Ffs. Surley its not rocket science to add a few w/s resolutions to there so called modern game.

Am seriously F****D off about this now.

Peace

Yeah I don't get why there isnt any WS support... NFL 08 had it, Tiger Woods 08 had it....
Browsed around the files and it seems like the same old deal with NHL 07, and I never saw a confirmed way of adding WS for 07.

Seems like with all other EA Sports game you can hex edit the exe to get the desired resolution. Try it out if you know how, i do not lol :P

Tiger 08 has w/s res by default???

Yep, saw 1680x1050 for me right off the bat.

Oh right i will have another look then. Thanks

I'm really pissed with EA Sports and their NHL games. I loved the first one, but the last five years they are always the same. And still no widescreen support, what is this??. They think we are stupid. I'm sure the 360 version will be great, and of course will support widescreen.

We always get the same game, the same engine with the updated rosters, and the same video and audio options. This saga is a complete joke, stay away from it.

You wouldn't happen to know how I go about that would you? :P

No wide screen, thus no purchase for me. There's no way in hell I'm supporting a game in 2007 that doesn't have WS resolutions by default. Even if someone DID find a fix for it, I still wouldn't buy it. And we've been trying to find a fix for NHL for years now, and it just hasn't happened. So I'm not holding out any hope.

There's really no point in even buying the game. There is a roster update for 07 from like a week ago on another site, so you can have very updated rosters in 07. Add that to the fact that all of the jersey/ice/board/mask mods will work in older versions since the graphics engine is the exact same damn thing, there is really no point to buying 08, at all.

Well I have 07 but I never found a WS fix for it.. so either one would be nice, 08 preferably...
