No, go with NHL 11. That is IF you're not an online guy.

agreed with the above.. go with NHL 11, unless you can find NHL 12 for say 15 bucks!!

In many ways, to me, 11 was not even an improvement over 10 to the offline gamer. You may want to just go with 10.

Hmm, i wonder what gary bettman would think if he read this. The whole point of the NHL signing out its rights to have a game produced is to garner more fans for hockey. The whole purpose is to grow the sport. The quoted statement points to 2 immediate problems with EA's Nhl series. Firstly, the game doesn't create a desire to watch or play real hockey. Secondly, the game must play nothing like real hockey especially since the poster above said "I hate watching the nhl in person." Let me just say that Gary Bettman would not be smiling.

Even more so, its a testimony to how crappy the game is and that its designed to be a bit arcade like. Its not a knock on this guy at all, but by his own admission he is not a real fan of the sport and does not watch it......he is loving the game. That leaves us hockey fans wishing for a sim style NHL: game while drowning in our sorrows.

I wouldn't be able to go back to NHL 11 solely because of the scoring. It's impossible to score on wrist shots (unless they're a glitch shot) in NHL 11 so that makes the game unplayable for me.
