Thread: NHL 11 News

Maybe this will finally be the year we get Jack Johnson's face in the game or a decent looking representation of Kopitar and Brown.

IMO, the best looking Kings players from NHL 10 were Doughty and Frolov. It was pretty damn scary how deadly accurate they were with those two.

Just get rid of how easy the wrap-around goal is, the worst goal in the game.

Alex Frolov disagrees with you!


But seriously the EASHL playing is the most wonky thing ever. You should be able to search random matches for the position you wanna play with your player. it's so dumb that you hafta join a squad and all that ****. Should be drop in drop out 5 on 5.

You don't *have to* join a squad to play in the EASHL. There is an online team play "pick up game". The only problem with that mode is that there are a bunch of idiots playing because...

#1 - They're too crappy to be in a team.
#2 - Their teammates are probably not online so they're playing pickup.
#3 - They just want to f*** around so they don't play their position correctly.

Or they take the position you wanted an quit 30 seconds into the game. I really love the guys who have to take center and don't win a faceoff the entire game.

The CHL addition is pretty cool, and I know a lot of people are hyped up about it, but I don't follow it all that much so it's pretty lost on me. I guess the best part would be the extra uniforms (hello Quebec Remparts!) and variety, but I would definitely rather have the resources be devoted to fixing the online content in particular. There's a bit more depth but I never really got into BAP because of the absolutely useless teammates.

As far as broken sticks go, I can't really understand the appeal. In a game where my computer defensemen have gloved pucks and literally thrown them in our own net, AI skate away from loose pucks to allow the other team a scoring chance, and AI make awesome tape-to-tape passes to the opponent even when you don't call for a pass in a bad situation....it's just another way for you to get screwed over. I'd rather it stay in the single player honestly.

I'd like to see goalies a little more vulnerable to non-cheese wrist shots, particularly on breakaways...but this is going to be a very intensive balancing act for the developers.

EASHL Team Practice needed to be added last Summer, never mind this summer.

Amen. This is a must IMO.

They also need to have matches based on region so we don't get stuck with as many Canadian cheesers.

WOW the BE a GM mode is gonna kick ass cus now u can send your rookies back to there Jr teams and not have to lose one year of he's contract>>>>>me = happy!

Plus it makes more realistic cus it has all the levels ....now only if they can make it so when ur playing GM mode and u draft a guy from europe u can talk to him and see if he wants to come to NA or stay there and/or if he's not good enought to make the NHL squad you have the choice to either take him to the AHL/CHL or back to his Europe team!
