EA's NHL franchise has been around for almost as long as the Madden franchise, which means they've had many years to refine and hone the simulated feel of hockey with the added benefit of tremendously enhanced hardware. As we progress through this generation, gamers are looking for more significant alterations to each year's sports installments and while NHL 10 doesn't appear to be much different than NHL 09 on the surface, you will quickly recognize and appreciate the variety of upgrades and enhancements sprinkled throughout this new production. Perhaps the best part is that these enhancements are not focused on the graphics and sound; the positive alterations revolve around the gameplay and overall player customization and freedom, which should satisfy the hardcore fans. With everything from classic and old-school control schemes to the all-new Style selections that change the speed, pacing and depth of the gameplay, NHL 10 is a very strong effort.

"Downloadable Content is supposed to enhance a game after it's conclusion, expand the multiplayer or add new features to promote extended play. The problem is for every masterpiece of DLC like The Lost and Damned, a Grand Theft Auto IV expansion, there are just as many duds or cash ins. You may have your own list but here at GamePlayToday is our list for the worst DLC this."
That beautiful Katamari DLC was the worst. It was, as far as I think, worse than even the way EA bends people over.
But it all comes down to whether people are dumb enough to pay.
Why is it that anytime someone doesn't like a certain release of DLC, people are "dumb" for buying it? Is it at all possible that the DLC sells because there are actually people out there who want it?
Sometimes it's as simple as unlocking stuff in the game. What's the difference from people buying GameShark or CDX back in the day to unlock stuff?
Game Judgment's Patrick O'Rourke has been playing EA's NHL franchise for years, here are his impressions NHL 2011.
The be a pro mode is actually kind of cool, building your own play from the ground up has this WoW like character development addiction to it. I know a lot of guys that play it that have no interest in Hockey specifically just because it's a great time to play with a few friends.
