This year there are rather small, but some subtle changes. The new goalie system is interesting, you can in some cases even easier than before scoring what works somewhere even more realistic.
The checks are harder and more dynamic, but also often unrealistic.
All in all the gameplay wise, it is a proper extension.
But now to the thing that bothers me personally ..
Again, no new leagues for Europe! I do not know the sales figures for here, but I would love to play with an Austrian EBEL. The rights for this are normally no problem. So I am forced my team recreate .. what is equally bad again like last year. One can, for example, are not looking for players. You have to know what team the player is currently, and that is very difficult for lesser known legionnaires.
In addition, you do not have to implement it geschaft the Creation Center of Fifa.
But these are just things that are personally important to me. German will be there rather satisfied, the DEL there are and will be updated.
I still think that one in a year of development, when you do so only small changes to the gameplay, but can extend all a bit.
Somehow disappointed me the game in this position. The menu and everything, it's like a DLC and not a full retail game.
But as so often written, who really stands on the existing teams, NHL11 not possess and simply having fun at hockey, should access here!
All in all it's a good solid game that is very good, if you do not compare with its predecessor.
