When you're on the ice, anything can happen - and frequently does. A puck-smashing, opponent-pummeling, ice-dominating prodigy, you are fast on your way to hockey greatness, and the success of just one match lies between you and your NHL dream. You glide to the center red line and look into your opponent's shielded face as you crouch down in preparation. The puck falls, as if in slow motion, as you both spring forward, sticks thrashing, ice flying and limbs thrusting. Just as you start to break away, you take a bone-crushing hit and hear the splintering of wood as your stick snaps apart. If you can't use your sharp reflexes and agile intuition to wrest away the puck, your dream could slip away forever. Are you a true NHL champion?

Skate into realistic hockey action, the likes of which you've only seen at the rink itself, as you take on the future of hockey gaming in NHL 11. This time, as you take it to the ice, every deke, hip check and scramble is in revolutionary, real-time, physics-triggered realism. With a pioneering physics engine, NHL 11 reacts to your every move with precision for the most authentic hockey experience available. Use all-new and enhanced skills as you strive for the Canadian Hockey League's Memorial Cup for the first time in a thrilling new career mode and celebrate your glories in banner-raising ceremonies. With NHL 11, the ice action has never been so real, and if you're lucky, neither has your puck prowess.

NHL 11 - Accessibility on the Ice

Hearing

There are no subtitles in the game, and there are hints given in-game that really should be subtitled. They aren‘t really helpful, it would just be nice to see them captioned so as to not leave anyone out. Otherwise, nothing happens in the game that isn’t represented by some kind of visual to bring players up to speed.

Recommended score of 6 of 10

Visuals

This is a heavily franchised game; as such visuals are as accurate as possible. The NHL loves it’s colors - red seems to come up more than others. Each team gets at least four different sweaters that can be worn on the ice, so most colors can be gotten around. Stats could be brought up by the announcers during the game since on-screen stats don’t appear on-screen for very long at all.

Menus are inoffensive with a light gray (possibly white), easy-to-read font being used on a dark gray (nearly black) background. Oranges and purples are pretty commonly used; in-game by way of surrounding the puck to make it a little more visible than it would otherwise be, and in EA’s Ultimate Hockey League as a means of checking the compatibility of created lines.

Recommended score of 8 of 10

Mobility

Hockey action is fast paced. Some games can be simulated while others must be played. Menus are easily navigated. Multiple control configuration ranging from “NHL 94” configuration making use of only the left stick and face buttons to the “classic” making use of left stick, face buttons, shoulder buttons, and the right stick (but only to fight with), and the “default” and “custom” configurations which are virtually the same and make use of all controls for various reasons. It should be noted that the “custom” control scheme is not customizable.

Recommended score of 5 of 10
