Most sports games can consume your life with one deep dynasty mode. Well, NHL 11 has four. In addition to standbys like Be a Pro, Be a GM and EA UHL, NHL 11 busts out the new Ultimate Team mode. Start with a pack of player cards, then keep playing in any of ten leagues to collect more cards. You can't just collect superstars, skill sets and chemistry issues play a factor in developing the best team. Of course, what's an Ultimate Hockey Team without an Ultimate Hockey League to play in? EA's new massive online league holds monthly competitions for league supremacy at three different levels. New passing and checking engines help spice up the action on the ice while you're developing your myriad dynasties, making for a game that won't be easy to shut down.  Score: 9/10
