The only way I'd put Gretzky (or any of the legends) into my Be a GM is if their ratings reflected their play AT THIS POINT in their lives. For example, if Gretzky came back as a 50 year old to play a season in the NHL, his ratings should reflect a 50 year old Gretzky rather than having something like a 110 OVR like he would have during his playing career.

He'd probably still find a way to get 100 points.

Re: NHL 12 Video - Legends Trailer: Gretzky, Bourque and Chelios Revealed - 6 More So

God this sucks. As much as I love using legends players and teams (I love using old players. Pre lockout hockey is no question the best), I don't want to use them in my Be A GM or Be A Pro. The only time I would use them is in play now, but I never play that. I know others play HUT but I don't. It got really boring after a couple weeks. Why can't they spend this time on making Be A GM more realistic and fun. I just don't get it. This is not something that needed to be done at this point in time. Leave that for the Wii. NBA 2k was able to do their legends mode because they already have the gameplay and franchise at a sim level. NHL is not on that level yet. This game is going to be a major let down if the gameplay has not been been tuned to be more sim. For the first time I am really concerned about buying a hockey game. I never thought I would ever say that being hockey is undoubtedly my favorite sport. Guess I'll have to wait for the demo to come out to see how this game will play gameplay wise.

On a side note the faces on Gretz, Cheli, and Raymond look amazing.

I`m very disappointed.

From what I hear,Legends was the big announcement.

On another issue,...trying to pick you position for an OTP game is still a mad dash for whatever position you`ll want to pick,especially for goalies,.....so the player build slots accomplish nothing really.

How much improvement could have been done with the whole game`s presentation,..or actual, in game,game play improvement, with the development time spent (wasted,IMO) on stuff like this?

Tuning the game,doing the usual to get some decent game play from the sliders,...will reveal just how much effort was put into the game play.

It`s nice they spent time on them,......did they do any more current players,and make all of them better,.....is the bald issue fixed?

Or did their efforts get directed at making 9 or 10 legend faces?

Agreed. Very nicely done.

Can you imagine how great it'd be if they also nailed the look of their individual skating styles. Such as Gretzky's hunched over way of skating, as an example.

The players look great, but unless EA NHL can give me (for example) all 26 teams/uniforms/names from the 95-96 season, using retro players feels flat to me. Except for in HUT, it makes sense there.

No Tracy Morgan? In his day, he was fast, agile and accurate. Plus he completed the skills competition.
