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

[I3RIS3H]

Sure it's nice to see some of the greats in there, but honestly this doesn't do much for me at all.

This announcement is the least bit of game-changing for me.

Why only 9? Seems a little half-assed to me.

Yeah... I just read the blog post in regards to this legends stuff. I hope it's good for some fans, but it's absolutely useless for me.

I assume there will be an option to NOT include them in BAGM. At least I really hope that's the case...

What a waste of resources.

I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't an option.

I suppose anythings possible. But I gotta assume [ya I know, dangerous] that they must understand many of us wouldn't want the Legends in our GM modes. I sure wouldn't want to be forced to use them, either.

For the Be A Legend mode is it is you picking a legend like Gretzky and starting as a rookie on the Oilers and going through onto the Kings and Blues and Rangers or no? I'm confused.

Too much hype = big disappointment.

Having only 9 legends is worthless, as far as I'm concerned. They needed to have at least 40 (two teams' worth) to justify the hype.

NHL has been a great series, but I think it's hit the wall. It's maximized its capabilities on this gen's consoles and isn't going to get appreciably better or be able to add a ground-breaking feature. That's why it's so hard for EA's marketers to come up with new ideas to get you to buy basically the same game year after year.

For NHL 13, I anticipate they'll include NCAA teams as their "big, new feature.'' That's fine and dandy, but there's so little interest in college hockey that I don't anticipate it'll do much for the series.
