EA Sports has released the first screenshot for NHL 11 which will include an all-new real-time physics engine.
Online support for a number of 2010 EA Sports titles is set to end next month.
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
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.
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.
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.
"nobody can complain about EA now"

Yes we can. 2k sports are also on my "no buy" list.
"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.
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.
Some may argue that sports games have gotten out of hand. Perhaps they are too complex. Some argue sports game are entirely a waste of time, or too difficult to understand. Mike D from GoozerNation argues the opposite: Perhaps sports games are not realistic ENOUGH!

The only joke you missed was playing as Tiger Woods off the course. But you didn't need it. Got enough original jokes in there!
LA Kings President Luc Robitaille explains the Rules of Overtime for those new to the game!
wait a min, I thought a shootout is 5 per team?
and NHL 2000-2002>>>>>N HL 08-present
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.
*Yawn* Yeah and it will still play and look pretty much like last years just like every other NHL and just like FIFA Madden ETC people only buy for team upgrades if we are being serious EA rip consumers off and make life harder on themselves by making a new game every year just make roster updates its cheaper for EA and cheaper for the gamer.
