Hey Hockey Fans . . .

NHL 2k11 is out! Link

I had no idea this was even in the works.

From my short time playing, I'd take this over Hockey Nations.
 
What are your guys' thoughts on it? Can you listen to your music while you play?

Yes, you can listen to your music while playing - when I did it the game's sound effects were just overlaid - but it wasn't distracting at all. I assume you can turn the sound effects off. I didn't try though.

The game play is pretty fun and the controls work. Like I said, I think it is better then Hockey Nations.

The only gripe I have with it is that the rosters and jersey numbers are a little funky.

It looks like the rosters are as of last year, and I swore they had a few jersey numbers mixed up.

I saw on a different forum that 2k plans to offer plenty of updates to keep the game fresh.

I love it . . . and at 2 bucks, it is a steal.

Thanks dude, I'll pick it up later.
 
Later came sooner than expected. Non-retina graphics aside, this game plays like a console version. So smooth, controls are very good, very impressive overall.
