The nhl 11 league video game is the 19th release in EA Sports NHL series of simulated professional ice hockey video games. The cover athlete for NHL 11 sold in North America is the 2010 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Toews, captain of the Stanley Cup winning Chicago Blackhawks and a leader of the Canadian Olympic gold medal winning hockey team. Jonathan Toews is now a part of the video game he enjoyed playing growing up.
The continued evolution of EA Sports video games is an accepted standard that is also reflected in new innovations to be enjoyed in NHL 11. The game is more dynamic, richer, with enhanced realism. Some modes have enhancements and a new mode adds another level of play. The first inclusion of the Canadian Hockey League adds more players and teams for gamers to play with. This title is for use in PS 3 and Xbox 360.
NHL 11 can be played in the same game modes of NHL 10, plus a new Ultimate Team mode. The Ultimate Team mode is a new online mode where players use packs of virtual hockey cards to fill their team roster. There are some 4,000 players in 10 different leagues to collect and use. Here, you may assemble your own team from scratch and compete against other users online to determine the best team each month. While modes carried over from NHL 10 have not basically changed, the Be a Pro and Be a GM modes have been improved.
When you create your own hockey Ultimate Team, it will participate in the Ultimate Hockey League. You will play through the one month season in single-player matches or by entering various tournaments to determine playoff rankings. The league cycle will have a pre-season, regular season, post-season playoffs, as well as an off-season. Quality of performance in regular season will determine which playoff brackets amongst the Amateur, Pro, or Elite will be joined. Each month starts a new cycle.
Players who do well in the post-season are rewarded with banners and logos. In the off season, all players will get a Free Agent Pack and a Draft Pack. Chemistry plays an important role in the Ultimate Team mode. Players who play together in real will play better together. The combination of player types, and if the player is at their natural position, also impacts the chemistry element. A whole host of gameplay modifications have brought greater authenticity to this title. The physics engine is the big difference that will be noticeable for players of older titles that used the animation system it replaces. Unpredictability of real game is realized better in this virtual version. A new faceoff system also enhances the realism of this delightful new addition to the series.
Greater depth and diversity is added with the first appearance of the Canadian junior league in this series. Adding this prestigious junior league is a EA Sports coup. Playing in the the Memorial Cup of this junior competition will be a new opportunity. The three regional members have 60 teams between them. With its virtual presence in this ice hockey series, junior ice hockey has an ambassador in the virtual world. Inclusion of junior players likely to be seen in the NHL later will raise understanding of junior hockeys role in enriching the professional ranks.
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.
