NHL 09andNHL 10are two of my most favorite sports games in recent memory, and this debut trailer forNHL 11has set my mind ablaze with anticipation. (Or maybe my brain feels like it’s on fire because I’ve been writing up E3 posts for twelve straight hours now. Who knows.)
Either way, what I do know for sure is that the trailer above looks awesome — it introduces a host of gameplay innovations and improvements, so if you skipped out onNHL 10because you thought it was an incremental update, then you might want to check out this trailer. We already knew about thereal-time physics system, which is going to allow for player interactions likethisfor the first time. But other new features include a never-before-seen face-off system, broken sticks (which become physics objects) — and in conjunction, sans-stick play such as passing your stick to another player — and quick dekes.
I can’t wait to check out the full game when it launches on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall. Hit up the gallery for seven screenshots that show off the newly announced features.
