2KSports has long been the one competitive beacon standing against EA Sports’ offerings in several different sports, including hockey. The balance shifts between the two publisher’s hockey franchises almost every year, with EA’s NHL franchise handily taking last year’s crown for the top hockey game. This prompted 2KSports to go back to the drawing board and rework their franchise, taking a year off from HD consoles and instead focusing on releasing their latest game as a single console experience, putting NHL 2K11 exclusively on the Wii.
Being built as a Wii-exclusive experience, NHL 2K11 doesn’t scrimp when it comes to taking advantage of what the Wii has to offer. The game supports a wide variety of control options, including Wii MotionPlus and the Classic Controller, and as well as other Wii features, like Wii Speak and support for Miis. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t hit the mark nearly as well as it should, as there are substantial issues with the core gameplay. While it’s definitely admirable that the crew at 2KSports took a year off from other consoles to focus on the Wii version, the developer didn’t quite score a hat trick with this year’s entry.
