devilsfan26 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 they better have fixed the stick lift near guaranteed penalty. almost every time its a slash, high stick or hook. makes using the element useless. I haven't had this problem at all. Maybe you have penalties turned on too high or are using it when you're not in a good position to do so.

PattyElias26 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 has anyone preordered NHL 11 for PS3? I'm wondering how much better it will actually be than NHL 10, but the improvements seem pretty significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I pre-ordered it at Best Buy. I'll be picking it up the day it comes out. I never pre-order NHL games, I've never any problems getting it the day it comes out so far. Knock on wood I guess. Any special bonuses for pre-ordering?

Any special bonuses for pre-ordering? It used to be that Game stores were understocked and you had to predorder to get a game when it came out. Pre-ordering is for the hardcore gamers nowadays. Often with a pre-order you get extra game content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hopefully I'm getting NHL 11 one week before it comes out like I did NCAA. That would be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hopefully I'm getting NHL 11 one week before it comes out like I did NCAA. That would be awesome... i start a part-time, 2nd job at a game store next week, so if i somehow by a slim freaking miracle get an advanced copy, i'll let everyone know.

Devilsfan118 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You don't get drunk with your friends two nights before and spend 130 bucks on a life-sized replica football helmet of a college you don't pay attention to, leaving your pockets empty until a week later when you get your paycheck, which is already a week after all of your other friends got the game and played it and told you how awesome it was? That was all hypothetical. Promise. (Who the hell cares about Boise State football, for christ's sake?) Well in that case, I will definitely NOT be pre-ordering. Who doesn't love a drunken adventure?

Bryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The only preorder incentive I've heard so far us that Gamestop will give you Bauer boost items (stick gloves and skates) if you preorder. http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77302 Same for PS3 except in PS3 colors.

Devilsfan118 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Link Link 2 This seems like a pretty neat idea. I'm thinking it might get old after a little while...but I'm definitely looking forward to trying this mode out. Especially if the 'rare' cards are some of the all-time greats.

Devilsfan118 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Don't worry, its not real money. You get EA Pucks for doing stuff in the game and the packs that have better players in them cost more pucks. Pucks are also how you bid on players that are up for auction by other teams. That sounds better. I re-read what I posted (I misread it the first time because I'm just..awesome like that), and saw that there's that in-game currency. You'll probably be able to pay real $$$ for more cards (just like you could buy better gear for your Be A Pro player), but you'd have to be stupid to do that imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH26 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 fvcking micro transactions will be the downfall of video gaming. I fvcking hate them. you can get a lot of cards for free or fake money but to get one of the best Ultimate Teams, like with Madden and FIFA, you're going to have to pay real money unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 NHL 11 demo out today for Xbox and around 5 or 6 today for PS3!! Who'd you guys get to play on your ultimate team if you've played yet. I got Malkin, Cam Fowler, Gormley, Rask and immortal Hnat Domichelli amongst others. It's really cool I got to play the Windsor Spitfires in my first game and then the Flyers in the second. And I'm pretty sure I saw Jim Rome in the tutorial video as a head coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked PS3 Online this morning but it wasn't available yet so I'll check around 5 or 6 like you mentioned. Is it significantly better than nhl 10?

Is it significantly better than nhl 10? the hits are a lot better and look awesome. The skating feels more realistic I guess but overall it's a lot like the last one. But this ultimate team is probably the best thing in a sports demo in awhile. I checked and it gives you random jerseys to use (I had the Guelph Storm and 06-07 Red Wings) and players. I had Backstrom and Okposo and Tavares the second time Edit: the deflections are also ramped up this year about 1000% which is good Edited August 17, 2010 by DH26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott O Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have to work until 5:00 too, but I have PS3 so I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway. This game has yet to let me down and I'm definitely not expecting it to this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
