Anyone skipping out on NHL 12 and going with NHL 11 or another NHL title (past or present, if there are any other ones out there) for their fix this coming hockey season?

For me, I'm sticking with NHL 11. After a brief period of hatred towards the game (which was preceded by a love affair for the game, and proceeded by playing some NHL 2k10), I've decided to skip out on NHL 12. Actually that's not it, I have fallen into a groove of skipping next year's edition the year I purchase a game. So NHL 11, skipping NHL 12, and I'll most likely pick up NHL 13.

Same thing I did with Madden 10, skipped Madden 11, and am going to pick up Madden 12. And I'm really excited, because there seems to be a pretty decent amount of change. So for a series like the NHL series that's been really good for a few years now and no big changes have to be made, this seems like the most logical step to take.

I'm sure the game will be great. And I'll miss out on the goalie collisions and other upgrades they've added. But then I'll get two times the advancements a year from now (this year's enhancements and NHL 13's features). Plus, I get to continue on in my franchises on NHL 11 and really get the most out of the game.

What are all of your plans?
