2K is not even in the same league as EA for NHL. If you were talking about NBA then 2K has that on lock down unless EA makes some more big advances this year

CHL has signed up for NHL11 it looks like.

I got one request....


Separate servers for everyone with QC in their name... Every single one I have played against/with has been a glitch goal scorer....

I played defense on a mid 20's ranked club for PS3 in the pro league with around 700 games played in club only, and we played many top 10 teams with these guys trying the same stuff over and over....

Also: Goalies being consistent.

One game we would have the absolute best goalie making unbelievable saves, the next game would be 4 goals 5 shots kind of stuff.

Wish you could have a set pick of players, and as you win games, you gain points to put towards the AI, but somehow keep it all balanced so its not unfair.

Anyways, we should be getting some info fairly soon as they finalize what they want to get out there from their "Community Day" which took place last weekend.

I usually check www.eashlforum.com for any new stuff/discussion on the game.

I shot high res pictures of the Saddledome earlier this year for some guy that was affiliated with EA. He needed pics of all the seating in the dome as well as pics of the jumbotron. Hopefully, it'll make it into NHL11.

My suggestion would is reflected more towards current play offs. Toews refused to even look at the Western conference trophy, while Richards gladly grabbed it. They should give you the option what you want to do.

One thing I would really enjoy is if for Anaheim Ducks to have their retro "mighty ducks" jerseys, even that original green one like in the movie. Probably won't ever happen though.

Maybe jersey editor/maker can make this possible?

Give back some of the big hits from 09. You could actually play tough in that game. In NHL 10 it drives me fucking insane when I run a guy into the boards and I just bounce off him.


When playing online, change the first 2 colours on the home team. Red and green? Fuck that shit, almost impossible to tell apart.

That's it?

Just change the sliders, you can fix that yourself by playing with the options.

Not online though, and that's mostly what I play. I just don't see the point in making the hits useless when it's such a big part of the actual game. NHL 09 was excessive, but NHL 10 was fucking retarded with hits. I just want a good balance of hitting in the game.

man i can't wait for this to come out, sept7 right?

[DelSoln]

The demo is out now.

They say the new physics engine makes a big difference from the older animation based ones, my PS3 is broken so can anyone tell me if that's true?

I was just coming to update this thread with saying that..

Waiting for it to download now, I'll get some puck time in later and update.

EDIT: Okay, played the demo a couple times and I must say that I am not that impressed, yet. Maybe as I play it more, maybe not.

Hits look better and feel better. There is a total new face-off set up (it's still the right stick, but they put more use of the left stick as well) and I think its a neat little addition. I broke a stick a couple of times and also lost the stick a couple times when hit.

I thought you were supposed to be able to choose your celebration this year for some reason, but it doesn't seem like you can(unless I'm missing my opportunity).

I'll probably update this again once I play a bit more.

What do you guys think of it so far?

It's really good, hits look awesome

[slick2404]

played the demo, loved it.

passing is going to take time to get used to, players actually passes once you let go of the tigger...longer you hold harder the pass.

hitting is a lot better, the size of the player finally matters. not sure if i like the new faceoff style yet, but new dekes are awesome!

new features such as sticks breaking and playing without the puck is pretty sweet....actually had a goal waived too.

manager mode or ultimate team whatever seems pretty solid...not sure how i feel about the hockey card attributes etc but whatever.

ahh...can't wait till it comes out!

[extm88]

finally sticks can break...surprised it took this long but i guess i never did really think about it.
