Well if it's planned for a Nov. 9 release, I would venture to say it is.

Somewhere in here, Redshirt mentioned that the cert process takes up to four weeks, IIRC. So I imagine it's been out of EA's hands for awhile now and the only hold up or snag in it being released by next week would be a first party problem i.e. Sony or MS.

Is there a patch list?

I am not hanging my hopes up high on this at all.

There's going to be a blog detailing the changes. My guess is late this week or early next week.

This is how I feel as well...the conspiracy theorist wonders if they break the offline modes on purpose, trying to lure us online. Surely not, but since they don't make any extra money from offline players like they do online, hard to see why they wouldn't. I respect the hard work of the devs, but the higher ups at EA, not so much.

I'll be hanging on to my NHL 10 until this patch comes out, we'll know quickly if NHL11 is playable this year or not. Next year, I'll wait for the first roster and patch before I buy...not worth the drama this year.

Frankly, I would advise doing that for all subsequent releases, if for no other reasons than to pick up a used copy for half the price a few months down the road. If everyone began to start doing that, it might well motivate EA to bother fixing their game before it is released.

I'm pretty sure I never said that. I could have said something to the effect of we couldn't do it in the scope of what we were changing for a specific patch, but not that it isn't possible.
