NHL 2K11

NHL 2K11 (2010) is an ice hockey simulation game developed by Visual Concepts for the Wii (with separate, inferior versions for PS2 and PSP). Marking the series’ final mainstream release before 2K shifted to Wii-exclusive hockey titles, it featured enhanced motion controls (using the Wii Remote + Nunchuk for shooting, passing, and checking), updated rosters, and the return of franchise modes like “Be a Pro” and online play. While praised for its accessible Wii gameplay and local multiplayer fun, critics noted dated graphics, glitches, and lack of innovation compared to EA’s NHL series. The last NHL 2K game with broad console support before the franchise faded.
