I'll cope for another year, just as I'll cope Ea's Presentation being much the same.

No kidding. You've got awesome arena and player face models (well, maybe not Ovechkin lol) that blow away NHL 10. On the other hand, you're stuck with goalie models that look like a 6 year old kid's rendition of a hockey goalie.

Look at the Steve Mason screenshot:

a) He looks like he's wearing one of those cheap street-hockey masks
b) He looks like he's wearing equipment designed for peewee hockey goalies. Seriously guys, the NHL didn't change the equipment restrictions that much.
c) What's with holding the stick well above the paddle? If a real goalie held it like that, they'd be getting their stick knocked out every few minutes.

Also, I'd say the lighting effects are still very poor, that's one thing that EA nails really well.

Every year with every game, there's something 2K sadly and laughably screws up. They're the Plaxico Burress of game companies.
