2K Sports Will Not Release NHL 2K12

[adayinthelife]

2K Sports will not release a new installment in its NHL simulation franchise for consoles this year. This according to 1up and Gamespot.

We will not see NHL 2K12 this year, what are your thoughts?

Brutal. So disappointed. On the same day that EA pulls out a VERY underwhelming feature video.

Oh well, we pretty much knew this already.

I agree. I am glad I picked up 2k10 again today.

I guess I'm done with hockey games. I'll wait to hear about NHL12, but from the vid it looks pretty much the same.

Very underrated game, however I'm interested in NHL 12

Damn. I really wanted to see 2K try to make a comeback, but I guess it's time to put the nail in the coffin of NHL 2K games (at least this gen of consoles).

Hopefully NHL 12 fixes up the AI and Be A GM mode otherwise this is going to hurt even more.

2K was always underrated. Look how long it took for NBA2K to dominate to get recognition.
NHL2k3-2k7 kicked ***. NHL2k8 was amazing on ideas, implementation was not user friendly enough though. But NHL2k9 and NHL2k10 was only so-so games in my book. A total reboot teaming up with natural motion and 2K bringing their experience and license would be a great reboot.
