Has anyone bought NHL 11 yet?

[more cowbell]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has picked up the new copy of NHL 11 yet...

if you have...

Is it a great game again this year?

do they have the sabres ACCURATE jerseys for this season (The new white road, the new 3rd and a better version of the home jersey...last years was embarassing looking...)


Thanks

Well, I ordered it a week ago with estimated elivery date of 9/8.

Still not here so idk whats up.

As far as I know, the past few years they waited for all the alternate jerseys to be unveiled before revealing a code to unlock them in the game.

I figure the same thing would apply to this.

is there a demo online?

It just came in the mail today and the away/alternate is locked.

Once the code is released you put it in and the jerseys are playable.

TBH it felt like the same game as last year even with all the new physics stuff.

i'll stick to NHL 2K8 until next year.

I won't get into the 2k vs. EA debate, because it's not even a debate for the past 3-4 years now... That being said, I played the demo of NHL 11 and it hasn't changed much from last year's, which is easily the best hockey game I'd ever played. The one thing I noticed was that gameplay seemed much slower, which I didn't much are for. From what I've read, the focus was on the Ultimate Team feature which is already seen in Madden and FIFA games. While it's neat, I don't spend hardly any time on it since they basically entice you to spend money to improve your team. They haven't done much of anything to Be a Pro and Franchise, which is where I spend all my time.

Not to mention 2K is only releasing games for Wii now because even they realized EA owned them in hockey games.

Wii is a joke of a video game console anyways.

2k Moved their hockey franchise to a entirely new team and is doing a 2 year development cycle on 2K12, they announced this when they moved it to the studio that did NBA 2K, which was a temp move until the new studio took over.

they already promised realtime physics, and pretty much NHL 11 has now.

The 2K8 Animations and Skating still look better than anything EA has put out on the table.

I've been playing the game for a week and I really like it. The new physics are really nice and you need to play the full game and not the demo to get all the little nuances of the game. This year you can pick a Junior team and help them win the Championship to improve your players draft status. The first time I tried it I got drafted 22nd overall...the 2nd time I tried it, I was drafted #1 overall to Columbus. It's not much different then last year, but if you loved that game, then you need to buy this one...you'll notice the details and they are for the better. The broken sticks...the sticks that are knocked out of your hands...it all adds up to a great experience while playing this game.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...the best thing about the game is that the Sabres have their old logo back...NO MORE SLUG!!!

its locked until you enter the code once they release it.

But they still use the slug on the scoreboard, and screen on the board, but the good logo on the ice before the game.

Yeah, the code isn't out yet, but they are in the game. I can't wait until they release the code...

The last 2 years it hasn't been until like December, once all the teams have worn their alternates.
