2K Sports made the decision last year to place all of its hockey eggs in one basket: the Wii. 2K will only put out NHL 2K11 on Wii, in the hopes of re-evaluating its franchise before deciding whether or not to bring it back to other consoles.
Competition breeds better products. Sports fans have been complaining about this for years, and when there is only one game available for a particular sport, it often leads to future releases that can be questioned for their lack of innovation. While sports like soccer, tennis, and baseball have multiple games for you to choose from, other sports genres haven't been so lucky.
Aside from the mediocre computer AI, it's a pretty good title. I'd also recommend MLB 2k11 (I have the Wii version, no online support, but it's still fun to play).
On ps2, I was the biggest NHL 2k fan, too bad they gave it away to EA...
"How many hours have Wii owners spent on the ice in NHL 2K11, since it released? Let's take a look.", says CoffeewithGames.
Have any of you played NHL 2K11, and if so, what do you think about the game...good and/or bad? Is it a sports series that you hope 2K Sports perhaps brings back in the future?
I haven't played it, but thought it sounded pretty good with the inclusion of WM+ and online with Wii Speak.
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you use Wii MotionPlus with your controls, or the Classic Controller?
