NHL 11 Video: Game Modes - Be a GM, Be a Pro and RFA UFA Features

[RoyalBoyle78]

just what I wanted, I will be in Hockey heaven this year. This maybe the only game I play the rest of the year, well this and NBA2k

Malkin for Zherdev, Lupul, Wisniewski, Fowler and Marchant? I really hope that trade would never be pulled off in the game...there need to be guys that are considered 'untouchable' by the AI GM (just like a real GM). Then again, there might be some situations where that trade would make sense (ie. in the last year of Geno's contract, if you were unable to negotiate a new contract with him).

All I'm saying in a roundabout way...I'm curious to see if they've improved the CPU logic. I'm certainly pumped to see how well they've implemented RFA's.

Good Lord man, the wait for this damn game is getting nearly unbearable.

I can't wait for my son and I to have our now...yearly extravaganza, playing the new game for several hours. And having Ma keep yelling to us how cold dinner is getting. Man I love that!

Then later the night of the 7th, when things have quieted down...I'll have a freaking blast setting up my Wild GM mode. Gotta have plenty of coke [soda] and Marlboro's on hand. Best 60 bucks I'll spend this year.

As Realmk said, one of the big things is not seeing star players sitting in FA for long stretches.

Right on Vikes, I'm right in the same boat with you, trying to make sure I have either enough coffee or cokes and smokes to last through a marathon hockey session. If they've manage to fix the trade logic, which I would imagine they have seeing they took the time to add all the other stuff they added to GM, its going to be a pretty **** game this year.

Wow E P I C is censored?? really? C'mon OS.

Man I can't wait to start my Devils franchise. I'm loving the demo, I can only imagine how awesome the retail version will be.

Vikes...funny that you clarified that it was soda that you were speaking of. Not the...other stuff. Ha.

Seriously man. I plan on having three HDTV's with NHL on each one. 6 or 7 people over, throwing back some beers and really digging into this beauty.
