NHL 2K11 is an ice hockey video game, developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports.

The game was announced on March 3, 2010, as a Wii-exclusive game.[3] It was the first game in the NHL 2K series since NHL 2K7 not to be released on the PlayStation 3, the first since NHL 2K6 not to be released on the Xbox 360, the first since NHL 2K3 to not be released on the PlayStation 2, and the last game in the NHL 2K series to be released on the Wii, as the next entry in the series is released only on iOS and Android devices.[4] Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick said that "As far as NHL, we're taking a year off on PS3 and Xbox 360 to refine, redesign and re-think".[3]

Then Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler is the cover athlete for NHL 2K11.[5]

Features

The game introduced an all-new "Road to the Cup" mode, featuring Miis. The mode also includes mini-games, trivia challenges and skills competitions. NHL 2K11 also included things like broken sticks, more responsive skating, improved artificial intelligence and enhanced graphics.[1] The Winter Classic was also added as a mode.

Reception

The iPhone version received "generally favorable reviews", while the Wii version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[14][15]
