Can't remember the site I read it on last night but I'll try and find it.

Pretty much:
New physics system
you dont just hit the players, you can miss and just catch a bit of their leg so its not just straight hits.
sticks aren't always on the ice
broken sticks
new faceoff mechanics
you can jump over players
shoot the puck while you're down on the ice

sweet time to get my hook up



i actually prefer EA's over 2k, 2k is only good for basketball. Their hockey feels clunky, as well as the turbo button doesnt really add on much speed.....

Agreed. EA is ment for Hockey and what not. 2k is ment for more basketball.

i skipped nhl10 so i'll get this one if it looks good.

[Tegra_Devil]

ill buy a EA NHL game every 5 years...the next one will be NHL15 for me :P

[quasi]

I've bought every single year going back to the original, NHL Hockey in 1991. Actually when that game came out I begged my mom for a Genesis just so I could play it.

I'll buy this one without fail.


MONEY!!! and the graphics were awesome for the time.

I enjoy Be A GM mode too much not to buy it ...

Now, if they can make online more entertaining by improving the defensive and goaltending AI, then that would really be something. As it stands now, all people ever try to do is cross-creasers and one-timers ... Not that I have a problem with winning (rocking a 0.7 GAA in online versus), but it gets so tedious spending half the game 5 feet from your net to take away the easy stuff and no one ever seems to think "maybe I should try passing the puck around to spread out the defense and open up some scoring opportunities." ... Nope, just try to force the puck through the crease or through the slot ... *yawn*

Aren't they adding the Vancouver giants, etc. to this game?

I think it would be cool if they add a legends option.... i.e what they did to the canadiens

nhl 94 was awesome.

[Jer3]

hope they address the scoring issues in nhl 11. 09 and 10 pretty much force u to do wrap arounds or cross ice one timers in order to score. the odd time ull get a slapshot or a deke through the net.

[SilverBlitz]

i still like nhl 99 since it was my second nhl game first one i got was nhl 94 for the snes

The new changes look good but we'll see once we get our hands on the game.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wait for the reviews

[sonick]

nhl 94 was awesome.

That wasn't NHL 94 :P More like 96 or 97

There's always scoring glitches in EA's NHL games. I don't think that'll be any different in the next version.

[hotjoint]

The goalies were unreal in nhl10. They saved everything except those wrap around and 2 on 1's.

[Jmac]

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228) They're adding the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL. Those 3 leagues make up the CHL.

[Jackwimmer]

the goalies are pretty easy to score now in nhl10, just gotta know the little tricks
but definitely the one timers are the easiest lol

[ScizzMoney]

I have found playing the game like I actually played Ice Hockey seems to help. Shit that worked in real life works in this game well. Like point shots with traffic, wrist shots low for rebounds, etc.

NHL94..


i havent seen nhl94 since i was a kid but i can already tell thats 93. 94 didnt have the white circle in the puck and i dont think it had stars around the players but i could be wrong.

also the ice wasnt that blue in 94.

[DuhDang]

bought every EA nhl game since iginla was on the cover :)

[604778]

Started off with NHL 96-01. Then got to NHL 09 and so on..

Not if you play against glitchers who can score almost at will with those curve shots.

[DanHibiki]

Anyone still playing NHL 10??? Who's on an EASHL team?

That wud be me :D iv mastered the snapshot, left handed shot comin in on the right side, wrist it passed the goalie high stickside, works everytime, best to do it with marleau, heatly, kane, backstrom, u can also do the same thing with right handed shooters almost everytime but its a lot easier for the goalie to save it glove side, unless ur ovechking fkn snipe it home wit em almost everytime

Latest rosters fucked up Manitoba's roster

[Bonjour43MA]

this is officially the most fucking retarded NHL game EA has ever made, at least for the PS3 version.

- online play is a joke. half the time I can't control my players (literally a fucking 1 second delay between me pressing the button til the guy on screen does it). I'd say 70% of my losses came from the inability to control my guys as I would normally.

- goalies do stupid shit all the time, like, doing a split across the crease when there's absolutely no reason to, leaving the top side wide open, and the list goes on. makes me so damn mad when goals get in like that

- stupid fucking stick-breaking happening way too often in a game

- puck hitting the post WAY too often, I hit posts on average 4+ times a game.

- lame shit online matching system that is buggy as hell. sometimes i have to try to search for games repeatedly because the system couldn't connect me to the other guy

Overall this game is just NOT fun at all, it's gotten worse and worse every year for EA. It's like every year they make little things "better" but then take giant steps backwards in gameplay. They try to make it "realistic" without realizing that they're also taking the FUN out of videogames.

I fucking hate this game.

[DanHibiki]

I notice that for EASHL, you get better lag playing on the home team. I'm guess whoever is on the home team is the host.

Usually if we end up on the away side we keep hitting confirm to test the delay from when A is pressed and when the CONFIRM sign goes up. If it's too laggy we leave and try again.

They should make an option where u can choose the region in which matchups are made.


And your complaints are valid but I think this is the best NHL yet. Glitch goals and glitch quitting is gone = GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

Yup this game is totally broken. What I hate the most is that if you're trying to switch to a dman in your zone, he'll automatically skate up the ice before you can control him which takes him out of the play. I've had plenty of goals scored on me because of this. I've stuck strictly to offline play this year. Most online players just skate around and do dumb shit, plus I hate the new passing system :)

[Bonjour43MA]

I don't know if you guys remember or not, but in NHL 2006/2007, you were able to see your online opponents rank, record, reputation, country of origin, and connection strength. I was able to weed out playing those that had horrible rep (quits too often, cheats, scores only cheese goals) and those that had horrible ping time. Cheese goals were prevalent but at least i was able to defend them.

Then, they started removing those features one by one on each and every version that came out afterwards; first it was the ability to see your opponent's rank; then it was their record; then their connection strength. Now with NHL 11 you can't see SHIT - you can barely judge the connection quality by how laggy your button inputs are at the matchup screen.

EA - WHAT THE FUCK? why are you making this franchise worse and worse every year???? Why can't I have more say in how I want my online match ups be like? I'm sick of paying money every year for the same broken shit that EA pumps out...

Granted, it's good that they fixed the glitch-quitting and glitch goals, BUT, that is not to say that they don't exist, at far as glitch goals are concerned. TOO many times my goalie or computer-controlled players would do the DUMBEST shit, i.e. watching the puck as it lays 1 feet away from them, or like hotjoint said, moving out of position just before you take control of them, taking you out of the play. The number of WTF moments I've had with this game is higher than all of previous years combined - yes, it's THAT frustrating.

There's a good chance that this may be my last NHL game from EA... not that they care or anything, but whatever.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Well, the matchmaking system is good in the sense it tells you the level range your opponent is.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[Bonjour43MA]

no it doesn't. I'm level 25 right now, so if it tries to match me with someone "Within 20 levels", that could be someone at level 5, or someone at level 45. It's stupid.

I'm done with this game. Selling/trading it soon. What a piece of crap.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Then just cancel and let it match same level or within five?

I don't get why you're complaining about something you can avoid..

[Obsideon]

Anyone playing this on an EASHL team that I could join? I'm not that good but I would rather join an RS based club then a random one.
