If they don't release the game before season starts, we'd get even madder.
And, as it is, I thought NHL 11 was a good game out of the box anyway.
Admittedly, I don't play as often as you guys, but I didn't see any game killers in the first week.

Just played a few games. Frustration once again is all I can say.

Shits broke too none of the games I played are showing up properly either. Stats are all messed up.

Stick lifting and poke checking are out of control again.

They toned down hitting by a lot.

Sad panda

I'm playing now and the hitting seems fine, although I'm getting a lot of charging calls.

My issue is that it seems after every patch, the game becomes a completely different one and you have to relearn all the flaws so as not to get fucked. I remember on MM in a league, I believe I was playing someone who was Boston and it happened just after a patch came out. I dominated the game with like 55-9 in shots, attack time was insane, and I lost 1-0 in a shootout because they changed the dynamics of how the puck was shot. If we played our game the night before the patch, I win like 7-0.

The game out of the box I felt was good. If anything, I wanted the goalies to be a little better, but I've been asking for a "goalie featured NHL" game for about 2 years now where they put 2-3 guys on fixing the goalie issues. But besides that, just tweak a few things, not massive changes.
