EA's hockey games have been an absolute blast in recent years, it's definitely my personal favorite sports franchise. NHL 09 was awesome, NHL 10 was even better, and now here comes NHL 11 with a whole bunch of new features and improvements - think evolution, not revolution. If you're new to the NHL franchise, then rest assured that you're buying into a fantastic and fun hockey simulation. The graphics are great, there are tons of teams to choose from, a huge amount of customization, and solid online functionality. Want to take on the Canadians with the Bruins in Boston while wearing throwback jerseys? With three of your friends offline or up to eleven online? No problem!Laying a big hit into someone is more satisfying than ever before, and the new physics system allows for some really dynamic situations.Since the NHL formula is so well established at this point, I thought it would be productive to list a version of some major changes you'll notice between NHL 10 and the new NHL 11. Hopefully this list will help you decide if the new features/improvements are worth it for you:- Passes now happen when you RELEASE the pass trigger, not when you press it. The strength of your pass is controlled by how long you hold the button before the release. This is the first major gameplay change I noticed in NHL 11. The more I play with this, the more I like the change - although as a result I'm having a little more trouble getting one-timers off.- In NHL10 faceoffs almost always resulted in the puck going directly to a player on the ice, in NHL 11 faceoffs are much more dynamic. It's possible to switch grips, shove, or block your faceoff opponent. Many more options this time around, faceoffs are definitely more interesting. In NHL9/10 faceoffs were pretty formulaic and boring.- Broken sticks can happen and take a player mostly out of play. He'll still be able to kick the puck and block/check, but is obviously at a big disadvantage. Teammates can hand off their stick as a replacement, or the player can go to the bench to get a new one. You can also lose your stick if you get cleaned out during a huge hit.- If you are a fan of Madden Ultimate Team mode, then you'll be happy to know that EA has implemented something similar in this game: Hockey Ultimate Team. This mode is based on collecting trading cards of players, stadiums, coaches, etc. and using these options to build your team. As you win games, you'll unlock more cards and improve your team.- You can now play online with friends against a purely CPU controller team. This was a major missing feature from NHL10, and it's great to see that they fixed it.- A `hustle' button (push in left stick) will temporarily give your player a burst of speed. This feature existed in some previous NHL games, but not in NHL 10.- There's a whole new physics-based engine powering the game. This can affect lots of different things in the game, from checks to puckhandling to- When laying out a check, you can choose between hitting high and hitting low. Combined with the new physics engine, this creates some really fun hits.- Reworked trade logic in the `Be a GM' mode. There are also now both restricted and unrestricted free agents.- If your opponent is lying down on the ice, you can now jump over him. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of flopping that is in NHL 10.- EASHL (EA Sports Hockey League) mode now lets you run a full practice game, and increases the number of jersey/team customization options.- A new deke system allows offensive players to counter specific defensive techniques. There's a deke to counter poke checks, a deke to counter defensemen laying down on the ice, etc.- Disallowed goals.- Playoff beards!Hopefully this helps you make a decision about purchasing (or not purchasing) NHL 11!

I have been playing NHL games since NHL 99 for the N64 and this one has been the most satisfying.This game is much improved over NHL09. Not just in graphics but in gameplay.A lot of the low star reviews I read here on Amazon have bashed the game for things they don't know they have control over. For instance I was reading a review that was saying that the sticks break too often which can easily be changed in the options/settings. Another user was complaining about the complex controls. I for one love the control layout for this game but I do admit it takes a bit to get used to it. For the casual player who just wants one button to pass, one to shoot, etc.you can set it up in the settings very easily.My favorite part of this game is the "Be A Pro" mode. I played it a lot in NHL09 and was looking forward to the new NHL entry draft and it did not disappoint. At this point I have only played through one season but unlike NHL09 I felt no need to simulate half the season. The game kept me wanting to play and I played every season and play off game. The only thing I can complain about in "Be A Pro" mode is the mild lag when you go behind your own net.I have also played many of the "Play Now" games against the computer and against friends. I have never encountered any problems with this game mode.Having played only a quarter of a season with a team I have not encountered any problems.Overall I love this game and it is a must buy for anyone who is even mildly interested in hockey.

NHL 11 has all the basic game modes; Be A Pro, Be A GM... But the "selling point" to this game is Hockeys Ultimate Team aka HUT. In my opinion HUT should have been named pay to win. You start off with a team of minor league players and have to buy booster packs with points you get from winning games or buying with MS Points. The problem here is as you play more games your players careers are shortened. This means you have to buy career cards to keep playing with the players you have on the team. But your going to need to improve your team so you need to keep buying packs hoping to get a better player. All in all the game is fun, the classic game modes are really what I bought this for.I like that you can change your controls from the standard analog sticks shooting and deeking to classic one button shoots, one button passes.

Apart from the CLASSIC NHLPA '94, this is the most fun I've ever had playing a hockey video game. There are slight nuances from '10 and '09 that really take this to the next level. The online play is a lot of fun. I haven't really tried the Hockey Ultimate Team yet but I really enjoy Be A GM and online Versus play. If you are a hockey fan and haven't bought a game in a while, this is a worthwhile purchase.Noteworthy gameplay features:board playbroken sticksimproved faceoffsthe computer assists you in setting up for a 1-timerquick dekes

This is another great game by EA Sports but different from past games this one will take a little getting use to. Its is a little slower and the passing is something you have to adjust to. You could think you pressed it once but you may have passed it twice and pass the puck right away once you get it. You get all the basic modes with the trading card game being added this year and tried it in the demo not bad not sure if i will be playing that much or not. Overall this is another good game and recomend this game to hockey fans.

I'm primarily a war game, first person shooter type. I've played all types of games, but don't get interested enough to own them. I borrowed a neighbors copy of NHL11 because all my friends were playing it. I really had a lot of fun for a day or two. So, I decided to purchase it myself. This is the first sports game I've liked and actually got the hang of playing. I would recommend it to anyone. And you can't beat Amazon for the prices.

I love the NHL series by EA. I purchased my Xbox 360 just to play NHL 2009 with Phaneuf on the cover. Since then I have purchased the game every year and I am not disappointed. I highly recommend getting this if you have Live as they update the rosters every week. During the playoffs they update the rosters and player ratings twice a week. The life like physics of this game and amazing game play cannot be beat.

This is a great game! The new gm mode is tons of fun and playing games with the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL are also lots of fun. NHL is finally getting back to the level of fun that came with NHL 98 and games of that era (still no broken glass, goalie fights, or checking into the bench though). The new physics system is great, every check is different and feel real. Very satisfying game.

I had 09 and had to upgrade but didn't want to spend $60 on the new one since I don't play often, everything is great with this, players drop their sticks and break them as well. Good game, it's nice that you have to have some skill to score as well, in the previous verisions it seemed that all you had to do was one-time it and you're scoring. This is a little more realistic.

4.11.2010

The only hiccup in this year's installment of hockey is the lack of an online season mode comparable to the likes of Madden's. Otherwise, I can't say one negative thing about the game. Its a ton of fun to play. It's the type of game you can actually play for a full year without the gameplay feeling stale. A must buy for hockey fans, and a most buy for the rest.

I've owned the last 3 years of NHL games, and this is by far the best. I don't know how you improve on near perfection in NHL 10, but they did it again here, adding more content and improved animations. Recommend this to anyone who has even a remote interest in hockey, and maybe even for those that don't. Great game!

I bought this game for my brother's birthday and he said that he played it that night and stayed up way too late playing because he was enjoying it that much. I was thrilled with the price of a new one! I was going to buy a used on at Game Stop and it was more expensive than the new one from Amazon.

Don't be fooled by and hockey game competition! This is the primier hockey game to own! Tons of new features from last years outing including EA ultimate league where you build a team from the ground up and take on thousands of user made teams online! Buy now! Excellent!

Every year EA Sports ups the bar in sports games. Each year you buy the new one wondering how can they top last years, and somehow they always come through. NHL 11 Is absolutly sick, It is so realistic it is almost like watching a real game. A must by for hockey fans.

13.1.2011

This game is so realistic, so fast, and so precise, you think you are on the ice with the players! You really control the play on the ice, and the players action. It's a great game!
