User Rating: 9.5 | NHL 11 PS3
This is the best hockey game to date without a doubt. I have been playing NHL games since 94' and this game takes top spot. There is so much variety in the game modes allowing you to do almost anything. The controls feel absolutely fluid with the Playstation controller. The game play is a bit slowed down but that's nothing that a few game play sliders cannot change. The additions of all the prospect teams and minor leagues/farm teams allow you to start your game play at the absolute bottom of the ladder, or go straight to the top and play for the cup. The graphics are very good, and the variety in hits, plays, and shots make every move unpredictable just like in real life. The sound feels just right and makes one feel like they are right there in the rink. The online play is very fun when it works as their are a few times in which the game will disconnect. Disallowed goals make anything possible, as you never know when your celebration may be cut short. Speaking of celebration, the new user celebrations add a lot to keep yourself and your opponent whether online or sitting on the couch next to you on the edge. The User celebrations are fun to use especially if you want to add some fuel to the fire.
If you love hockey, you will love this game. It's a must have for any hockey fan.
