    Re: NHL 2K11 Cover Athlete is Ryan Kesler

    Wouldn't the mo caps help too? If you have A.O I think you might get some better mo caps, at least in my opinion. Even the skating you think would be better or at least more skilled. I could be wrong.

      In that case just put Gretzky on all covers, as even people who hate hockey and know nothing about it (funny how that is), will know the player and might even be attracted to the game. Is that why EA's game sells so much more? Because their player is in the news months before the game is released, so he is more recognized. I think I'm understanding EA's marketing more and more now :wink:

        I'm sure if Gretzky/Lemieux were still playing (and as a result members of the NHLPA) I'm sure both games would slap 'em on the front if they could!

          for the frugality of signing Kesler coming off a year in which their
          games sport both Kobe and Ovi.
          Kobe has nothing to do with this, NBA is still a moneymaker for 2K. I'm saying they're using Kesler because it's costing them next to nothing, which is what NHL's marketing budget has likely been slashed to.

            Sales figures haven't borne this out in the past. All things being equal, you prefer a more recognizable player...but they rarely are.
