After playing this, I haven't touched NHL 11 since. It is simply amazing. The gameplay is exceptional, the graphics are excellent, the soundtrack is excellent, and the Manager mode is the best I have ever seen in a video game ever. Not only can you create custom teams and jerseys, you can also design a custom stadium to play in! Hell, you can customize the way your crowd sounds based on the country you play in. I could go on and on about this game, but it has more than made up for the bitter disappointment NHL 11 is for me.
This pic is for the PC, but it's on Xbox and PS3 as well.
