Obviously most reviewers aren't playing this game that thoroughly in BAGM mode. The mode is rendered completely useless IMO thanks to totally random team records(again), bogus cpu sim stats, and players that never get injured or fatigued, thus playing every single game(this contributes to the poor sim stats). Adding to the chaos is the fact that the CPU sim teams rack up almost no penalty minutes in BAGM mode. I'll agree that the gameplay is tremendous, but BAGM is severely lacking for the reasons I mentioned and only the Gameshark review bothered to mention these problems.Comment

Although I love the game, but your points Bud, about the GM mode are hard to argue.Obviously most reviewers aren't playing this game that thoroughly in BAGM mode. The mode is rendered completely useless IMO thanks to totally random team records(again), bogus cpu sim stats, and players that never get injured or fatigued, thus playing every single game(this contributes to the poor sim stats).

It would be great if with the coming patch to fix the star players being stuck in the AHL...if they went further and patched up some of the other issues that you mentioned.
If the GM mode was as sturdy and strong as the game play, imo...you'd be looking at a near perfect game. Again, only my opinion.1969 NFL ChampionsComment

The team records aren't and never have been random--they're just very heavily reliant upon goaltending, which is why you'd see the Red Wings miss the playoffs every year in NHL 10.Obviously most reviewers aren't playing this game that thoroughly in BAGM mode.

Re: NHL 11 Review
I agree Maniac.
Of course no game is perfect. But imo...there's just no comparison between the two games, game play.
Again, jmo...but I believe NHL does a much better job at mimicking it's sport than Madden does. I think Madden's a decent game...but NHL is just unreal good.1969 NFL ChampionsComment

I think that 50% of scores on reviews of sports games are for gimmicks. No gimmicks like "Gameflow" added? Subtract 100 points. Improve everything? Add 1 point.I agree Maniac.

Here is the thing, from a gameplay standpoint Madden isnt even the best football game released by EA this year, NCAA Blew it out of the water, locomotion, the big new feature for madden, actually works better and runs smoother on ncaa. NHL is absolutely phenomenal, and deserves all its accolades, those guys know how to make a game, now just give me continuous ot as an option in vs and leagues and ill be set.Comment
