NHL 12 Trailer - Legends Teaser (This is the "Big" Announcement)

[murph17]

probably just one "legends" team vs the 20-30 historical teams 2K had back since what...2004?? laaaame.

I guess for me too...I'm really not understanding how this will..."Change the way I play the game forever." If this is actually the big announcement, yep...I'm a bit confused.

Maybe when they release all the info about this feature, it may be more clear to me. But as of right now, I'm thinking having legends in the game will be cool, but more of just something I'd fart around with in just Play now games. Ie...yeah, was hoping for something that would affect me personally. [GM mode]

Of course no offence meant to anyone else...but I doubt I'd ever use a Legends team in BEAGM.

[TerminallyOdd]

I guess I'm one of the only one who is excited about this news...I play a ton of offline versus with friends, including a league we formed with drafts and trades, so this is going to be pretty cool.

It's definitely gretzky in the oilers uniform. The player has a wooden Titan stick.

I cant wait to see all these legends with generic faces lol.

I have to agree with ya RealmK.

I guess I still have some doubts if this legends addition is really the HUGE announcement they've had us waiting for, all these weeks. Yeah, it's a cool feature. But like you said, and I share your opinion...not really a game changer, or something imo, that warranted all the hype.

So I guess I'm still holding out hope that the big announcement is still yet to come.

From the clip, it's obvious that we will be able to play in as Gretzky (beating Kipper), Howe (giving it to Lucic) and Lemieux (undressing a Bruins defenseman like he did with Ray Bourque many years ago) in the BaP mode. I guess you'll have a team of legends for those who would like to play with all of them in BaGM. Maybe also in cards for the HUT. Will it change the way we play the game? We'll see. One thing for sure, if you don't tweak the sliders in your favor or glitch like crazy, I don't see no one getting it close to what Gretzky and Lemieux did. 215 points and 92 goals in a season...Would be possible only playing the Leafs and Panthers for 82 games!!

Thats quite an assumption implying that the Panthers will be the worst team in the league this year considering all of the moves they have made. PM me an apology at the end of the season when they finish between 7-10 in the conference. They are a middle of the road team with the best prospects in the NHL. Im sure you know who Bjugstad, Markstrom, Gudbranson, Grimaldi, and Huberdeau are though right?

I guess Im the minority but Im looking forward to this. Hopefully we can play seasons of the past with old teams. I would love to play the '94 NHL season again!

They would definitely need an on/off switch for this otherwise it would ruin everyone's beagm experience.

Gamechanging... no. Would I have fun with it... yes.
