   Most sports game are so close to their last years game that many don't believe the newest version is relevant. Well NHL 11 stepped it up. NHL 11 will make NHL 10 obsolete in the next few weeks. I dare you to play NHL 11 then try to play NHL 10. It is a big difference. This game fine tuned everything perfectly except for one thing, which, can also be looked at as a good thing. The great players in this game are a blast to play as, but the bad players are so bad it can be irritating at their slow speeds and inability to deke on a goalie with enough speed to cause any trickery. With that being said it can also be look at as a good thing making the skill level between each league very drastic. In real life the CHL players are not as good as NHL players so I suppose it is a good thing to have that in the game too.… Expand

   I previously rated this game 9 but would like to ammend my opinion. This game could easily be rated as 10. What is offered is a very large package with what i feel is a lot of possible inprovements in gameplay dynamics. Unfortunately the entire package is ruined beyond frustration by both sloppy maintenance and a thirsty greed of making money by selling add ons (consumables) within the game modes. This game receives constant updates and tuners which can be frustrating to the novice but after playing a full season the frustration is that EA is not very careful what they are selling and their concern is not to correct any mistakes but rather to plow forward and make more sales off consumables instead. They really don't care that their games has errors and how this translates to unfairness to the players playing. Furthermore they alter speeds and tuners in their favor during sales of packages to minimize players taking advantage of them since players tend to want to play tournaments to win spendable in game currency. The result is a choatic imbalanced game no longer based on stats but players vs EA sucker punching each other. Had this game been released without consumables I think they had the potential to nail this game as a solid 10. However with this ongoing struggle in how to maximize consumable profits the game has suffered huge. EA is constantly altering things and with every alteration it seems new glitches which remain and become either exploits or just pure frustration not having your players or software behave properly. EA has bit off more than they can chew playing around with altering the gameplay and a ton of features alway contain fresh glitches as a result of sloppiness. Buy with caution.… Expand

   NHL 11 is exactly like Madden 11. Every year it is just an updated roster and slower gameplay. The Ultimate Team game mode is also very frustrating as no one really plays it.… Expand
