It feels real, looks real, sounds real, plays real. I love hockey video games more than Hockey represented as well as I would want it to be. I love hockey video games more than the sport itself. Would be a 10, but I reserve that score only for a ground breaking revolutionary game. The improvements from the last EA NHL are minor, but, you have to move with the herd if you want to challenge the online community.
There is a "10" worth of fun to be had here though. The multiplayer servers seem be randomly out of comission for online team play sometimes probably the true minor irritation that keeps me from scoring it a More long term appeal than possibly anything else out there. Bottom line If you like video game hockey who doesn't! NHL 11 is easily the best hockey game ever made, continuting the tradition of improving on what has been a solid franchise by EA Sports for NHL 11 is easily the best hockey game ever made, continuting the tradition of improving on what has been a solid franchise by EA Sports for the past few years.
The variety of game modes gives you plenty of ways to play, and the on-ice gameplay itself is unrivaled in both realism and enjoyability. That said, there are small glitches here and there that are really all that keep this game from being called perfect. The occasional glitch or awkward and sometimes outright bizzare action taken by your player when you're attempting to do something else can leave you pretty frustrated, and the passing mechanic could stand to be improved, but this is clearly as close as anybody has come to replicating the wonderful sport of hockey.
Honestly NHL 11 didn't bring anything new to the table besides ultimate team. Graphix are the same as 09 and How ever don't get me wrong i Honestly NHL 11 didn't bring anything new to the table besides ultimate team. How ever don't get me wrong i probably play it every day but the only reason i bought it is because every one abandoned EASHL in nhl 10 because they wanted nhl So the game didn't blow my mind or anything but it is fun.
Overall: worth getting … Expand. However, that all gets dragged down by an economy size F grade regarding an extremely glaring bug, along with EA's refusal to fix it: How can you have two decades of licensing to make video games for the NHL, and be completely incapable of getting the points right for the standings in Be a Pro mode?
Don't let this scare you off, though. The issue isn't too bad, and players pull off at least three brilliant moves for every time they wreck a scoring chance by dithering. Most of the modes of play have been held over from last year.
You can still play seasons, tournaments, and playoff runs for the Stanley Cup, or go online for some silky-smooth, lag-free action on the virtual ice with single quick games and whole online leagues.
This is something of a convoluted blending of an arcade sports game and a collectible card game, similar to previous modes in Madden and FIFA. You earn EA pucks through success on the ice, and then use this in-game currency to buy packs filled with cards representing players from all over the world, along with consumable cards such as contract extensions, training skill buffs, coaches, arenas, and more. So you set your lineup and then apply training cards to players to buff their skills, contract cards to players to lengthen their time with your club, and so on.
Cards can also be traded and put up for auction. New, sharper controls include greater ability to direct the puck on face-offs, emphasizing how important it is to win draws in real hockey. Hockey Ultimate Team could well become an obsession, because it's hard to resist the lure of buffing your club constantly through new pack buys.
The game is also pretty challenging, since you not only need to build a great team, but also come up with cards to improve player skills and keep your team together and to mix lines up to enhance chemistry. Of course, if you run out of EA pucks earned in-game, you can pony up real cash and buy more.
Good packs are pricey, and EA pucks are earned pretty slowly when you're just playing games, so the temptation will be there to break out the credit card and buy your way to a great team. Another welcome new feature is the addition of the Canadian Hockey League, with all of the teams and rosters from the major juniors. This is arguably most noteworthy in Be a Pro, where you create a player and guide him to NHL stardom, because you can now start off at the junior club of your choice and improve your NHL draft position by playing the Memorial Cup tourney.
It's a cool addition, since you can get a real thrill out of helping a fave team like the Peterborough Petes win the Mem Cup. Of course, you can also play full seasons with the CHL teams, just as you could in previous years with clubs from pro leagues. Be a GM mode has been improved this year with tweaks to the AI and the addition of unrestricted and restricted free agents. These changes make for a better management sim, although the CPU still doesn't seem to understand the salary cap. Teams will frequently refuse deals that they flat-out have to make to get under the cap, and the game itself will step in and stop trades in the summer that would result in a club going over the cap, even though teams in the real NHL are allowed to exceed the cap by up to 10 percent in the offseason.
Presentation is just about the same as it was last year. EA Sports' NHL 11 is not only the best hockey game ever made, it is quite simply the best and most accurate sports game ever made. Gaming Age. If EA just introduced the new Ultimate Hockey team and washed their hands of the rest, I would say cash cow For the third year in a row, EA Canada has crafted a hockey experience that is seemingly flawless. Game Chronicles. Its only downsides are minor framerate issues and the lack of a "team builder" module.
This is the closest a game has ever come to recreating the feeling of playing real life hockey. Yet again, the peerless NHL team has produced a modern classic that will surely sit at the pinnacle of the year's sports releases. This is probably the best hockey game ever -- until NHL 12 comes out, that is. More than in years past, NHL 11's enhancements will be noticed by a select clientele. It's a product of fan feedback and number crunching, but for that core group of fans, most of the cheese has been cut, making for a rewarding game that's greater than the sum of its updates.
There's no reason why a hockey gamer shouldn't be picking up this bad boy. Extreme Gamer. Simply put, this is how you do hockey! Game Revolution. An extraordinary hockey game.
The action is hot and fast, and the intangibles and extras add quality on top of quality. This is the best hockey game ever made, and is a real feather in the cap for EA Sports in a year where the company literally doesn't have any competition on the Xbox or PS3. Video Game Talk. This is easily the best NHL hockey has ever been on a console, and it sets the bar incredibly high for EA's next release.
Armchair Empire. All in all, NHL 11 is a excellent upgrade over NHL 10 fixing a lot of those issues that we've had with the previous games. No, but getting pretty darn close. Electronics Arts are infamous for releasing sports games with bugs. This year though, the gameplay has been hugely improved and their new card based Hockey Ultimate Team is just as good as the FIFA version. For once there isn't much to get frustrated with in this year's NHL.
Official Xbox Magazine. This bugaboo aside, though, NHL 11 really is the best realization of hockey to date. Ultimately, its new physics make for better, more believable hockey that we simply can't recommend enough.
With the additions of the CHL and Ultimate Hockey League and the great Gameplay improvements this is once again the best hockey game available as well as one of the best sports games out there. NHL 11 is easily one of the most feature-packed and entertaining ice hockey games ever created. Sort of like being a hockey mercenary. Speaking of checks, EA Sports has installed a new realtime physics engine that does a nice job of emulating real world physical interactions.
It isn't perfect as sometimes player models are a little slow to react to hits, but when it works properly the results can be awesome with both vicious hits and the little ones that are just enough to dislodge players from the puck. There have also been some smaller, more under-the-hood, changes made to NHL First, the speed has been ratcheted back a few notches from last year.
I think it's a little unrealistic and could deter some true hockey aficionados, but it does a lot in the way of allowing players to have the time to pull off cool looking dekes and precision passes. Making those tough passes requires a bit more strategy in NHL 11 than it has in past games. This year, in order to whip a pass at the feet of your target with any kind of speed, you're going to have to hold the pass button for a half-second longer than normal.
The result is a passing system that demands a bit of foresight to make fast, accurate passes. It definitely takes getting used to, but the end result is a system that feels more authentic than in past NHL games. I just wish that they had delivered a new passing tutorial to teach you the new system instead of hiding the instructions in the settings menu. All-in-all the gameplay in NHL 11 is the most fun I've experienced from the series.
Strategy and planning play a larger role in this year's game which makes for a different experience than has been afforded in the past. Some might be perturbed by the lack of speed and new passing system, but I think both lend themselves to delivering the NHL experience to a wider audience of fans. As always, one area where NHL excels is the presentation of the sport. The atmosphere in the different arenas in the game is great and making it to the playoffs only accentuates the excitement level.
