NHL 11 Will Sell You 156 Different Powerups

Sharp-eyed DLC watchers today spotted the month-early upload of more than 90 player attribute enhancements for NHL 11, offering three tiers of created-player boosts ranging from 80 to 160 Microsoft points.

EA is starting to be more money hungry whores than Activision. Sad thing is, stupid people will buy this shit.

dizzleK5021d ago

you can't even get angry at the publishers anymore, if the slackjaws didn't buy this crap they wouldn't put it out there. publishers pull alot of dick moves but ultimately the tool sitting there with his credit card is the one to blame.

evrfighter5020d ago

kept telling everyone that EA hasn't really changed. Everyone was on this whole

"zomg EA has seen the light, they <3 gamers now"

just because Kotick is a bigger douche. Don't give EA a free pass.

HolyOrangeCows5021d ago

Screw EA Sports. They've been getting worse and worse about this crap.

Cevapi885021d ago

not only will they buy it, but it will allow devs to pull even dumber shit when it comes to DLC just to see if people will actually take the bait

Yi-Long5020d ago

... TBH, you shouldn't even buy the game itself, if the developers are trying to DLC-scam you like this!

mugoldeneagle035020d ago

You can unlock everything w/o paying for it, I hope. 90+ is insane though. And just attributes, I was hoping this year they would add way more equipment to choose from.

Plus who wants gold skates anyway

EA = Activision without Bobby Kotick.

SeanRL5020d ago

EA has been getting worse with DLC lately, but at least they don't make all their publishers come out with a sequel every year. They still have some great series like skate, battlefield, dragon age.

No FanS Land5020d ago

sequels?

of course they don't come out with yearly releases of sports games and NFS.

just a thought.

Mmmkay5020d ago (Edited 5020d ago )

3 skate games on ps3...
and battlefield releases a new game each year as well.. have always done so actually... remember something called pc?
every sports game each year as well...

redDevil875020d ago (Edited 5020d ago )

what...the...f*ck

negative5020d ago

Keep bitchin wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just don't buy it morons. I'm a die hard NHL fan and I'll get the game day one but not this DLC shit.

Idiots.

crzyjackbauer5020d ago

blueshirt7749 is probably Canadian eh?

MariaHelFutura5020d ago

WTF is wrong with being Canadian? The entire world loves Canada (except USA)and for good reason. Asides from the fact the NHL series is the best rendition of any sports game currently.

NBA Jam ? w00t 0_o Thankfully I don't buy any sports games. I hope they are talking about NBA Jam disc based version not the On fire downloadable one

DOMination-4161d ago

I can understand the need to shut down servers. But doing it for games that only came out last year is a bit ridiculous.

I normally try and defend EA on here because I don't think they are as bad as many people make them out to be but but this would annoy me if I owned any of these games.

"EA Sports Server Shutdowns"

... and that is why I don't buy EA sports games.

RAYMEISTER4161d ago (Edited 4161d ago )

They're probably following 2k's lead. 2k has already shut down nba 2k12 servers. Which means the average life expectancy u can get from playing nba 2k13 (if u were to buy it now) would be about 10 months. Don't expect to play online longer than that. That means there product is a NO buy for me. If they offered LAN option on the pc side u could always use Tunngle to play online, but they don't so there's no way to play online.

torchic4161d ago

wow they shut down 2K12 servers already???

at least EA gives people 2-3 years to play online, wow. nobody can complain about EA now

and to be fair to EA they shut servers down based on what percentage of people still play online. I remember them saying that they shut servers down which make up less than 1% of traffic across all EA servers, at least that's what they say.

brish4161d ago

"nobody can complain about EA now"
- torchic

Yes we can. 2k sports are also on my "no buy" list.

Dark5tar14162d ago

They better not mean On Fire Edition.

Dark5tar14162d ago

"The decision to retire older EA titles is never easy." That's also what they said when they shut down the servers for BF2: MC.

NicSage4162d ago

I think maybe with the release of pay for your own server on BF3 this is what EA might continue to use for all games giving an option for people who want to play it online.

I'm so sick of EA and all the BS, i'm sick of a lot of publishers anymore.

GoozerNation: We Really Do Need to Make Sports Game MORE Realistic!

I watch the video and the guy said 3 on 3 shootouts. Now I never been a NHL fan(besides some videogames)so I wouldn't know if they change some rules over the years.
