For anyone ELSE eager awaiting September 13th, the date NHL 12 comes out... EA had announced that 9 "Legends" would be playable this year, and the first three have been revealed in this video-- Ray Borque of the Bruins, Chris Chelios of...many teams, but here, the Blackhawks, and... WAYNE GRETZKY FOR THE OILERS! (WAit...maybe you all WOULDN'T be so overjoyed to hear about Gretzky being back on the Oilers...) But 6 more "Legends" to be revealed-from the "pose" at the end of the trailer, it looks like 8 position players and 1 goalie (any guesses as to who that goalie might be? Sawchuck...Plante...or if they're going to go for someone more recent, Roy or Hasek, perhaps?) So between that, the new Winnipeg Jets team, and the Might Ducks jerseys FINALLY being available in-game, I am STOKED, and, of course, raring to create my All-Time Mod (needless to say, these Legends will help.) Thoughts on the trailer--who might the other 5 position and 1 goalie "Legends" be? Are you hyped for NHL 12 as well? And I've already done the All-Time Ducks and Jets rosters...so any feedback on how to do that All-Time Mod with a full season of All-Time roster play would be most welcome.

Will actually be the first time ive bought one of these games in a while I would put my money on Roy in goals and hey being able to put Mario on a line with Crosby and Malkin would be awesome!

I'm betting:
Gretzky Borque Chelios Patrick Roy Mario Lemieux Bobby Orr Gordie Howe Maurice Richard
And then Bobby Hull, or maybe Mike Bossy or Mark Messier...

THis is great. I am really looking forward to NHL 12. My online team has shown signs of brilliance and have beaten many of the top teams. We just dont have any consistancy in our game times and sometimes it shows.
NHL 12 will bring energy back to the team and be ready to play again. Going to be a fun year.

Going to be a fun year. yep. looking forward to getting back into it. as for the legends.....meh. 2k had historic teams, lots of them. how hard is it for EA to put that in the game? anyways, they have other issues they should focus on fixing, like mics, maybe allowing players from EASHL to go to the bench instead of pausing the game, you know, stuff that matters. oh well, still looking forward to the game...first day buy!

Have to be honest... Except for maybe The Dropkick Murphys...absolutely none of those groups appeal to me, off the top of my head. Then again, I mostly like classical, opera, and some classic rock, so I guess that's just not a list with folks like me in mind. STILL can't wait for the game, though!

Sorry I know I'm a big tease...I will just say that the team will patch the jerseys as soon as they possibly can. There is generally a month worth of certification work that has to get done to deliver a patch to the public. So my educated guess would be once jersey is released +1 month... I personally haven't seen the design and none of my contacts have told me they've seen it already.
