Been wanting one of the newer Hockey games for a while now, but been too broke to drop any money on one.

Just got a job, but the backlog of stuff to buy will likely eat up the disposable cash from my next few checks.
With the season being over EA's NHL 10 is down to like $40.

Combine the price with not waiting for the next release to come out and it all looks pretty good.

I will definitely be content playing against the computer for a while, as I am not great at the game and could use the practice... but eventually online hockey games sound like a shit load of fun.

Will I be kicking myself when 2011 comes out if I get 2010? How long does last years game stay active? Would I still be able to find some people to play with online if I skipped 2011 entirely and played 2010 until 2012 came out?

If it makes a difference, PS3

Nah, as soon as a new game comes out, every single person playing that game online stops immediatly and starts playing the new model...

I kid.  I'm sure there'd be tons of people still playing the old one on line due to similar circumstances to you.

Wow, almost 50 views and nothing more then some one sure of what will probably happen?

I realize people will not switch immediately, but like I said it will likely be a while before I get into online games.

Will there still be a decent online population for the next year or so?

Anyone play online for any sports games from 08?

I'm pretty sure this is because nobody plays hockey games. especially not on the PS3.

No sports games at all?

While there may be some differences, I am willing to bet most yearly sports games would have similar trends in server populations.
Besides, I have seen several threads on the EA's NHL series here.

lol, well I appreciate you trying and all... Was just hoping someone here had actually played an old sports game, and wouldn't just be guessing.

I'm getting myself NHL11 when it comes out on PS3. I've been wanting to get NHL10 but I want the game to last longer with the user base. And from what my roommate said it should be out sometime soon?

Don't beat yourself up over version choices a year apart. If you do that, you'll always suffer buyer's remorse.
