EA NHL 2011 Discussion thread

Site might be getting a lot of visitors from the EA forums after the thread I was releasing early game info in was locked. So I invited them all here. I will post info from the game here, i.e.e rosters/ratings, etc

Wonder why they got all bent out of shape? If you went to the help section in the demo, it actually explained a bunch of the new features. Figure this kind of info would get people excited about the game, which is definitely what they would want. But maybe locking the thread is part of their plan to induce hysteria.

Man this sens rumour has me going all paranoid over every little thing. hahah.

Earlier in the summer I went somewhere with limited phone and internet capabilities. Ended up running up 30 MB of data on my blackberry in a 3 week span because I was there during the draft and the beginning of free agency. Good thing I signed up for an international data plan where each MB would only cost me $5. If I hadn't gotten the plan, it would have been $.03 a kb. I would have had to sell a kidney to make up for that bill.
