NHL 12 to Feature a Legendary Team?

[HawkeyMediaPlus]

I bet there will be legends in Hockey Ultimate Team. Now THAT would be cool.

I have done every year about 50 legends myself to free agents, they are nice bonus when you play playoffs against each other or in Be a GM mode. Usually we pick a team and make 5-6 trades and then start playoffs Yzerman, Sakic, Roberts, Ciccarelli, MacInnis, Coffey, Iafrate etc with also 3. and 4. line players like Simon, Probert, Ricci, Konowalchuk etc. and defensive defencemans like J Smith, D Kasparaitis, B McCrimmon, Tinordi etc. This year about 65-70 players, next year a lot more If It starts to feel that too much players, then moving swedes and czechs from nhl entirely

LOL Luongo? And either way non of the current players are legends yet, not even Crosby and I'm a Pens fan.

This sounds like nothing more than a current "All-World" team with 4 legends thrown in more than anything else. IMO if they do this they need to put a bunch of classic teams in, not just go half-corked like they did with the Canadiens legends team, which was cool by the way but it sucked they only had one team and just imported it in two years in a row. It'd probably be a nightmare getting the rights to put all those players in, especially any that have passed away.

You have to consider that this information came from an unofficial source and off the top of the Community Members head.

I have a hard time believing that they would add a few of the 80's Legends and none of the 70's or 60's as well.

I'd be shocked if you had Orr but not Bossy, Clarke, Esposito, Richard (Maurice) and the like.

I'm expecting a full list of Legends as far back as the 50's.
I'd also be thrilled if we got classic teams such as the '76 Canadiens or '84 Oilers.
That would be awesome!

Boring. If they go legend go all theway

[Scarbro73]

Agreed.

Do it right EA or don't do it at all!

Well I am happy for the mode

I don't trust this post at all. There's too much that sounds fishy from it. I would love legends in the game. They would make incredible utlra-rare HUT cards
