Morning Discussion

Yesterday, NHL 11 arrived from Amazon. While I spent the majority of my day in bed trying not to be sick, I toyed with some of the game's newest features. Specifically, I spent time with the full version of EA's Hockey Ultimate Team.

If you had fun with it in the demo, be aware that the system isn't as "kind" in the real version. In the demo it was pretty standard to have guys like Chara and Malkin find their way to your team, in the full version you're mostly looking at third liners and a ton of mid-tier rookies.

Also, the fact that players can purchase new cards with real money on the Xbox 360 or PS3 has the potential to break the system. We'll have to see how balance shifts over time.

    Any DROID 2 users out there with poor call quality and slow (100Kbps) data speeds due to low or jumpy signal strength? I'm 2 days away from my trial time and would really like to get this fixed before then.

      I don't own one but I haven't read too many good things about that phone :( I think if you don't mind the lack of keyboarde you would be better off switching one with a droid x or even an incredible

      In all seriousness, with the holidays around the corner, I wouldn't even try to buy a phone right now.
