NHL 11 Blog: EAUHL - The Biggest Online Dynasty Ever

[CS10029]

This is an incredibly misleading title. This is cool, I guess... Come on though, if this is in and Online BaGM isn't, I'm gonna be a little pissed at the development decisions.

I don't think it's fair to not let the NHL series have an online franchise.

I can't talk about things EA hasn't announced/discussed, sorry. I'm fully aware that I'm making some of you squirm, but I'd much rather tell you all the magical things I saw at the event... but I can't.

OK, OK, I'll tell you one secret. They have little red, white & blue EA oompa-loompas running around the EA Canada studios. And they'll come & take me away if I break the NDA.

One more question Qb. Do you know if you can unlock EASHL / BAP boosts, by playing the demo? Much like you could with other EA games such as Tiger Woods, and the NCAA Pro Combats.

I don't know for sure, but Rammer made it sound like the demo perk will be EA Pucks to purchase cards for Ultimate Team. I know as much about the demo as you guys do...

Now that they released info on the EAUHL and nothing on GM mode I'm really hoping this isn't EA's shortcut out of the compiling issues the longer you play GM mode. The deeper you got into GM , the worse the problems got with trades, salary cap, etc. The EAUHL has short seasons which would be easier to deal with then then a ten year GM dynasty. I know QB and others have said they made fixes to GM mode, but I hope they spent enough time fixing it instead of creating EAUHL.

Don't you mean like NCAA? I am very interested to see how the whole thing works out. Since my brothers and I moved out of the house years ago, and before online dynasties/franchises, I would usually lose interest after one season of play due to lack of competition. So Thank you EA for putting this together. I cannot wait to get the game.
