The nhl 11 league is another winner from EA Sports. As hockey fans know it is the latest video game release in the NHL series of EA Sports. The North American cover athlete of this series title is Jonathan Toews, young captain of the Stanley Cup winning Chicago Blackhawks.
As has become a hallmark of EA Sports, NHL 11 marks an evolutionary step forward for the series. The changes generally allow for a more realistic and creative game play, mode changes and adding the Canadian Hockey League. This title can be played on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
All the modes of NHL 10 are retained in this new release. The Ultimate Team mode is the new addition. It is an online mode in which players build a team using cards. The choice of about 4,000 players from the different leagues offers a good variety. The team that is assembled will play other assembled teams.
All the assembled teams will be part of the EA Ultimate Hockey League. A virtual season of 30 days will test players and their teams. Teams will be ranked for playoff brackets and births through single matches and tournament play. Arena banners and on-ice logos identify teams that do well in the post-season. A Free Agent Pack and a Draft Pack are given during the off season to change the team member options. Users will find that chemistry plays a key role in this mode.
The biggest game play addition is the new real-time physics engine, which makes every match feel different and more realistic. This replaces the animation based system. The unpredictability of game play now better matches the unpredictability of real-life hockey. Realism is further enhanced by the new faceoff system. There are more than 200 game play enhancements that make the new game, the most authentic hockey video game experience so far. This title brings the addition of the Canadian Hockey League in play. The 3 subgroups are the Quebec Major Junior Hockey, the Ontario Hockey and the Western Hockey leagues. These young players constitute members of an elite level of junior hockey. Their addition increases the number of playable teams by 60. Players can now play for the Memorial Cup. Teams are using their appearance in the game as a promotional tool to raise popular awareness of junior hockey. The inclusion of junior player names in the game will help bring greater understanding of the role junior hockey plays in the professional game.
Already a best-selling game around the world, the addition of these young players will give many fans an introduction to young hockey players on the verge of being drafted into the NHL. With the NHL series already featuring teams from the NHL, the AHL and several European teams, the incorporation of the Canadian juniors further adds to the play value of NHL 11. The realistic gameplay along with the many modes of play will bring gamers coming back for more.
