This is very, very similar to what the NBA 2K franchise is doing. Obviously last year, they had Michael Jordan on the cover and implemented his ten greatest games, and allowed you to play those games with MJ. Now, this year, they have 15 of the greatest players ever where you can re-live their most definitaive games of their careers. Doesn't sound like you can play legendary games with these players in NHL 12, but the idea of having legends in the game is very similar to the 2K franchise.

Also, the "Be a Legend" mode is pretty much a carbon copy of the "MJ: Creating a Legend Mode" in NBA 2K11. When you beat all of the Jordan Challenges, you would unlock this mode, and you could be MJ in My Player (2K11's version of BAP), just like you can be one of those nine legends in BAP.

Overall, I'm very dissapointed in this "big annoncement" from EA. With them hyping this thing for months and months, saying it would (and I quote) "forever change the way you play the game", it certainely didn't live up to it's billing. Don't get me wrong, being able to put Gretzky on the Oilers and play with those young guys will be fun-I was just expecting maybe a little bit more from the production team.

It'll be interesting to see what "version" of the legends we get in the game. With Jordan in NBA 2K11, if you were to play MJ: Creating A Legend, he was based off of his 2nd year (still had hair back then), so while he was still rated pretty high, he also wasn't entering the league as the best player in the game; his 3-pt. shot was weak and his mid-range shot was spotty, while his dunk ratings were maxed out.
