It's just too bad that the bread has gone moldy and the butter is low fat margarine. It's pretty much the only mode I play as well, but it was broken for 2 and a half months right out of the box (XP cap). I remember the 'star players in the minors' bug, and couldn't believe that could get through their testers (which I am pretty sure are a group of monkeys, 5 at the most). All in all, this mode needs some serious renovations by NHL 12.
The AI can be so ridiculously frustrating. It really hampers the experience. I know nothing can be perfect, but the decision making of my teammates is just so atrociously bad that there just isn't an excuse for it.
With the Flames making a playoff push, the extra time I find myself with, and the lack of a really good game to invest that time in, I am playing NHL 11 far more. I just wind up so frustrated after a session that I question my motives for actually plugging it into the Xbox. I'm not sure if I am a masochist, or just plain stupid to come back to something that drives me nuts.
