Let me get this straight...

This is what Sean Ramjagsihgn (sp?) siad was the "most addictive mode he's every played."? Really? Come on now.

I'd rather they spent the development time on making the puck spin when it's shot.

I'm surprised so many people are hating on this. I think it's a great addition.

There's some other games out there where you question if it's really worth the full $60 price tag but with this game there's no doubt IMO that it's definitely worth every dollar.

I'm assuming someone will find some kind of way to screw around with the online league and have some truly "ultimate" team but hopefully there is an offline version of this like Madden had where you can just play the CPU, earn coins and collect cards. I'll have fun doing that.

Yeah might be fun for those moments when your club isn´t online yet

Just hate that spending money on the cards is an option...

This sounds like a cool edition, but I probably won't use it all that much.

What I'm really hoping to hear is that there will be online Dynasty modes with 29 of your other friends. That's what I've been wanting for years now.

This. If Madden can do it, why can't we?

Re: NHL 11 Gets the Ultimate Team Treatment with Video

yay another mode to fiddle with! Is it just me or can we get the whole playing hockey part right, fix the AI, fix all the other bugs, fix the other modes issues and THEN worry about adding another mode? To each their own but I feel like my head will explode every time i see someone complaining there are no playoff beards because that is the symbol of a complete hockey game!! GRR!! I will go get my morning coffee now....

The most important thing for me is the GM mode offline. Hopefully, they will improve the AI and the GM mode. However, it is EA and I will have my doubts.

My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately it seems each year they have to release something gimmicky, I guess to attract first time buyers.

From my understanding, Ultimate Team isn't really that gimmicky. It's a legit game mode that really offers some fun.

With that said, I have no interest in it and I truly hope some of those features are brought over to offline "Be A GM" mode. Player chemistry that can fluctuate with success/failure. Line chemistry between players. Team chemistry overall. YES, YES, YES!

I'm sure I'll check this mode out, but, for whatever reason seeing this has made me start to think that BAGM is going to be exactly the same this year as it was last year...

Re: NHL 11 Gets the Ultimate Team Treatment with Video

Looks kind of fun to me.

[ericromain]

Aside from a token BAGM season, all i play is 1v1 online vs. and I hate how it's just a string of meaningless exhibition games. Ultimate team puts meaning into my 1v1 online play. All those game i'm playing are working toward something. I think i'll like tinkering with my roster and stuff.

Re: NHL 11 Gets the Ultimate Team Treatment with Video

Yeah, I'm not sure how you can call Ultimate Team a "gimmick" when it's as deep, if not deeper than offline BAP/BAGM.
