Dynasty Musings: NHL 11's Be a GM Completely Misses the Mark

[canucksss]

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! my biggest concern is that why on EA keeps udating the Tuner (now we have version 1.04) in a matter of 3 weeks and the bulk is to address the issue on ONLINE games. Neglecting the OFFLINE users!!!??? By the way, this could have been avoided if PRIOR TO THE RELEASE they addressed this issues that are ALREADY THERE IN 2010!!! (with the exception of 20 years old cant play in AHL). It's been more than a month now, we still dont have any sign that these issues are being addressed (cmon now EA at least addressed one of these issues raised during the tuner updates).

i really like this game.... but im afraid i like the game BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY OPTION but to play EA's NHL 11 fro there are no other NHL game outthere for this year. im still hoping that EA will addressed these issues before December.

Ok I just tried to trade Joni Pitkanen 81 OVR 27 YRS, 1st Round 2010, 2nd Round 2010, Washington's 2nd Round 2010 and 1st Round 2011 from Carolina to New York for Marc Staal 83 OVR 24 YRS and it got declined.

Come on fellas. It's not THAT broken and it's not unplayable IMO.

Of course it would be nice to have semi-realistic simulation stats and to have the in season XP fixed, but I can deal with it. Players still progress in the offseason at a very fair rate and as long as someone starts the season at the draft you won't have top prospects hitting the UFA market at age 18. Yeah the trade market may be off compared to previous years, but blue chip young talent is worth their weight in gold because a) young b) cheap c) have them under control for several years. I like that one can't pull the sheep's wool over the CPU's eyes and load up on stacked young blue-chip talent while they agree to take back Wade freaking Redden.

Go look at NBA 2k11 My Player and how nobody can get past 20 games in because of a freeze. Could be worse.

That sounds good. Question----if I create a team,(Not relocate, create from scratch) can I also just play a season? Or do I have to enter BEAGM mode?

Any of you guys encounter an issue with guys demanding way too much money compared to their overall ratings? I had an 81 overall Adam Larsson demanding 6 million/year before he had even stepped on an NHL rink.

You can just play a season with a created team as well, Segagendude...

Thanks, Onlybygrace. Sounds like I'll be doing the same.

Thanks for the comments guys. I echo a lot of your thoughts, especially the lack of communication from EA Sports even identifying the glitches that currently destroy the mode.
