^Yep. I played over at my friend's house and overall it's a good fun game.

Finally got around to renting 2K11 this weekend.
First, I really need to get the HD cables because the game looks really bad on my 52" LCD in 480i.
I played this game during one of the RV stops and it looked great on a smaller screen. I was shocked with how good it looked.
I guess I should have taken more time to figure out what settings I could change in order for it to look better, but I wasn't all that concerned with the graphics.

Like others have said, the gameplay is basically the same as 2K10 but with cleaner, smoother, skating and better animations.

With the right slider tweaks I got the game playing pretty good. The AI is still very dangerous if you don't cover it well and the puck is as realistic as ever.

Basically it felt like 2K10 ver2 (post patch). If this game were in Next-Gen form I wouldn't have any problems laying down $60 for it.
I still love the franchise blogs, the realistic sim engine and the organic gameplay.

I might try to find some cheap component cables to clean up the image and then grab a copy.

The game definitely doesn't deserve the weak scores it's been given.
If I had to rate it, as a Wii sports game, 8.5 would be appropriate I feel. The gameplay is solid and there's enough options to keep a hockey fan occupied all season long.

P.S. I was using the classic controller.

Ooh, that makes it very tempting. The problem is, I'll still need to get the HD cables with it. The game looks really bad on my 52" in 480i.

Finally picked this game up for $18 at walmart.
With the HD cables and on a 36" it looks pretty good.

I have to update the rosters, but the few quick-games I played were a lot of fun.

In the Winter Classic game I played I loved how Zherdev tried to check Chara and he fell right on his butt.
Richards, Carter and Briere were all dangerous the entire game. Giroux too. Very slippery and hard to keep a check on them.

I lost 4-1 to Philly in that game but all of the goals were legit and due to my poor defensive play.

I'm going to update the rosters this week and then start a franchise with TB.

Thanks Fiddy. I saw that, but last night when going online I couldn't find a good roster from more than a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe I'll ask those guys what they saved it as.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I've read rumors that 2k Sports stopped making the NHL series.

No word for sure yet.
