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 has all the same game modes of the previous title. The new mode is the Ultimate Team mode. The new mode must be played online. In this mode, players build a team using cards. The choice of some 4,000 players in different leagues offers a good variety to choose from. The assembled team will battle other players 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.
Game users will discover that chemistry plays a key role in this mode. Teams that do well in post season are rewarded with arena banners and field logos in the next season. Each assembled can be revitalized by using the Free Agent and Draft packs given out after the post season play.
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.
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.
The NHL series is already the best-selling virtual hockey game. The inclusion of Canadian junior players will give fans an introduction to players on the verge of their potential draft into the NHL 11. The replay value of this title is certainly enhanced by the added presence of the Canadian junior league. With the presence of teams from some European leagues, the NHL and the AHL reveals the sport office hockey to be an international game. The gameplay enhancements, the different modes, teams and leagues give gamers many reasons to keep playing the game.
