NHL 11 Demo... Meh...

So I downloaded the demo. I installed it and played it a few times....

Now to be honest if I was coming over from 2k or NHL 09, then my jaw would hit the floor. But coming from NHL 10? I have to say... meh. I mean the faceoff engine is new, which is alright, passing is harder. You could do that in 10, just turn the passing assist lower. You now have hip-checks, yay. The overlays are new and the music is new. Is it going to be worth another $60? I am not sure at the moment. I am gonna wait for reviews. Is it a good game? Yes it is, if you don't have NHL 10. I am curious as to what is new for offline franchise and Be-A-Pro modes, though.

My first shot on net, goal stick side. I didn't do anything fancy, just wound up and blammo!

I do know one thing that did bother me though, for the last three years now, most of the animations are the same. the one when the team enters the rink, the one where the goalie stands at the net and the camera zooms in quickly.

I know a lot of you probably won't agree with me, but so what. I know some will.
