If you're a hockey fan, a gamer, or both, this game is definitely worth the money. While there's no absolute need to get this if you already have NHL 09, there are enough improvements and new features that you can safely invest in it and still feel like you made the right choice. New gameplay implements like the fighting and board-play allow for new strategies, and the new modes add even more diversity to an already complex formula. This game took one of the best sports games of all time and did the impossible: made it better.

"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.
