Looking to pick up one of these for my new XBox360. Which one is the most realistic simulation of the game?

I see NHL 10 mentioned a fair bit (more than the other 2) in the 2nd greatest sports game thread. Is this version better than '11 or '12?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I prefer nhl 12 over the last 2 years games. The only thing in 12 that bothers me offline is the lack of penalties being called. I dont play 12 online at all where in 11 that was the main mode i played.

Loved NHL 09 skipped 10.

Picked up NHL 11 used last year and am still playing it. I think it is great. Board play is awesome. Faces offs are good. YOu have to work to score. To me if your a casual hockey fan like myself you will love it.

NHL 11 if you're not an online guy and don't doing a bit of manual roster updating.

I could've written this myself. Word for word, it's my thinking as well.

Not to mention that on PS3, 12 has many freezing issues.

Thanks gentlemen. Kinda sensing a theme here:

NCAA Football '11 > NCAA Football '12
Madden '11 > Madden '12
NHL '11 > NHL '12

...this seems to be the case. A bad year indeed for EA then, wouldn't ya say? LOL.

I am curious as to why some are passionate about NHL '10 - why nominate this title as being one of the best sports games ever? - I am completely naive to the recent hockey releases.

That's about it, lol...bad year.

I enjoyed 10 as well; but I prefer 11 because as mentioned, boardplay, faceoffs, etc. are better.

NHL 10 was good, but NHL 11 after all the patches and tuners was the better game. Large in part due to the Pass Reception Slider that worked nicely.
