Filtered Thoughts:
     While I haven't played NHL 2K11, I remember reading about NHL 2K11 last year, and I was impressed that the developers included Wii MotionPlus support, as well as online multi-player with Wii Speak support.
     2K Sports announced last year that NHL 2K11 was going to be a Wii console exclusive, while they took a break from developing the game on the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, so they could think and come up with ways to redesign the game on those consoles.
     While I was researching information for this post, NHL 2K11's Wikipedia page said this, "Due to poor sales of 2K11 compared to EA Sports NHL Slapshot, this will be the last hockey game made by 2K Sports."
     There wasn't a source for that information, it was just provided under the "Reception" section for the game.  I don't know if NHL 2K11 is the last hockey game specifically for the Wii for 2K Sports, or for all consoles including the PS3 and Xbox 360; I'm going to see if I can get some clarification, and update this post if I do.

Questions:
     Have any of you played NHL 2K11, and if so, what do you think about the game...good and/or bad?  Is it a sports series that you hope 2K Sports perhaps brings back in the future?
