Which Game Should I Get

[Williekemp15]

Alright hockey fans i need help.. all this talk about NHL's lockout ending makes me wanna play some and i havent bought a hockey game since NHL 2002 (been a very long time). I used to love play NHL 99 on my N64 so i wanna jump back in on these games. I dont wanna spend 60 bucks on NHL 13 but which cheaper one is a good pick? NHL 09,10,11, or 12??

I'm not sure how much you're looking to spend, but I just picked up NHL 13 at Best Buy for $39.99 and it's great!

I agree with Savoie. Since it seems like you're a casual fan do not get hyped up with NHL 13. It truly isn't any different than 11 or 12 besides the skating, and quite frankly it still needs some tuning in order to improve the series. NHL 11 will give you a hockey fix and you can buy it for a very low price on amazon. Gamestop also sells it for 10 dollars.

11 and 12 (which are virtually indistinuishable to me) better reflect the sim aspect on the ice. However, to me, NHL 10 is the most fun game to play in the series (including 13).

Honestly, NHL 13 all the way. Either you buy the later games which every player is the same speed, only can score on one timers, and can score off every time off glitch goals....OR just get 13 and not worry about all this stuff. Yes this stuff still is in this game but not nearly if at all in this version as the later games.

Re: Which Game Should I Get

went with NHL 11 because i picked up two other cheap games.. almost went with 12 but 10 dollars cheaper for 11 if i like it i may try out 13 sometime or even 14 whenever it comes out this year... thanks for the help guys

Re: Which Game Should I Get

i think nhl14 is going to be awesome, Do Not waste your money and time picking up an earlier version of this series. I held off just as you did, and never picked up a version of this series because of reviews and demo playing. This edition is drastically different from its previous ones, and far, miles better. With that said I got mine for $25 after patiently waiting for months I snatched it on cyber monday. The game has got lower prices online, try to find a deal and not spend $60 if you don't have to.

Or perhaps a gamestop has a deal $30ish? if you can tolerate used games..

I agree with this statement. NHL 10 was just pure fun.

Is there anything special with online pass or whatever with new one as I know used one I won't be able to get whatever online.

Re: Which Game Should I Get

I have yet to play online yet actually. But no, when I got my game, they included a code to get you access to online modes in the game. When you put the game in for the first time while online, they prompt you for this code and after that you're good.

If you're getting a used version of the game, the code may not be there because the previous owner already activated it. If thats the case you'll have to purchase the access to online ability in NHL 13 which is a EA thing, no other PS3 games do that
