Thread: NHL 11 News

I'm sure there will be another slider option to lower the amount of stick breaking....

Drop-In/Drop-Out play on EASHL and Winter Classic stadiums (not $$$ DLC), please.

This would be the best addition they could make but I am not holding my breathe.

From an official Seattle Thunderbirds Press Release:

"Kent, May 21, 2010 - The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) in association with Electronic Arts Inc today announced a four-year agreement that will see the league included in EA SPORTS NHL® products. The three regional leagues that make up the CHL, including the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), will all have their teams and players represented in EA SPORTS NHL 11 when it becomes available in retail stores this September."

The licensing agreement between EA SPORTS and the CHL allows the following to be included in NHL 11:

-- Ability to play with all 60 teams that make up the CHL

-- Names and Likenesses of players that are on the rosters of a CHL team

-- Mastercard Memorial Cup

-- CHL new RBK Edge Jersey design in NHL 11

-- WHL, OHL and QMJHL logos and league structures

The CHL integration in NHL 11 will tie to several modes in the game, including Be A Pro, Be A GM, Tournament Mode, Season Mode and Playoff Mode.

The popular Be A Pro mode might prove popular.

"You start as a player on a CHL team in the Memorial Cup," Agostini said. "The better you do in the Memorial Cup, the higher you'll get drafted by an NHL team and from there you go on to become a NHL legend."
