pWhen NHL 2K11 a href=”http://kotaku.com/5429919/nhl-2ks-absence-from-take+two-report-may-mean-its-end”didn’t show up on a list of Take-Two’s 2010 releases/a, some took that as a potential cancellation for the series, which has long trailed behind EA Sports’ yearly NHL offering./p

We have an intention to win and we’re going to maximize the opportunity.”/p
