Garreth Reeder, the Associate Producer for NHL 11, has published on his blog a long list of changes for the EA Sports Hockey League(EASHL). Here is a summary of the really big changes that have all virtual hockey players foaming at the mouth right now:
Division Playoffs at the end of the regular seasons
3 separate divisions(Elite, Pro, and Amateur)
Banner raising for EASHL teams with championships, etc...
Practice mode (either full scrimmage or scenarios like 2-on-1s,etc...)
CUSTOM JERSEYS(finally...)
Better match-up functionality based on human/cpu goalie and club size
Overall, this has gotten me pretty psyched for NHL 11 and I can't wait to see all the glitches...I mean changes.
