NHL 12's Legends Hit the Ice
Written Friday, August 12, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Pucking hell... The Legends Mode is only making a comeback in NHL 12 with 'The Great One' Wayne Gretzky, Ray Bourque and Chris Chelios. You can add them to any team you like too and chase their cards down in Ultimate Team mode to give your team the edge on the ice.

EA has unveiled these ice hockey legends with a new trailer and a goalie glove full of new screenshots, which should help get you in the mood for some pucktastic ice-based action when NHL 12 launches on September 9th in Europe and September 13th in North America.

Check out all six new images in the gallery and the trailer below. Take a little look-see.

@5 really that's what you think about sports games? Then by your logic shooter games are for for people too lazy to pick up a gun and shoot other people. You dumbass, how is any game in the genre of your liking less pointless?

NHL has a better replay value every year
NHL adds new stuff every year I really want this now I love old hockey players and anything to do with Hockey.
I love that they fixed BaP mode and online is better (all I do is play online)
So I am glad they add ranks to online modes
August 23rd is the release for the demo cant wait!

@5 hate to say it but Gears of war is the same thing also. every game that comes out its the same as the one before it. they just udpate the graphics and add new crap (e.x. guns, modes, and moves) so the call of duty crap works on all the games in the world that have more then one

This is all well & good but I really hope there will be a few more legends. Would be nice to have a couple legend goalies like Patrick Roy or Dominik Hasek. Also some greats like Maurice Richard, Ron Francis, Bobby Orr.

Personally though I want my all time favorite player Mario Lemieux. If you can get Gretzky you can get Lemieux. So add him to the game now so I can make a dream come true, place Mario Lemieux on the Montreal Canadiens.

Also nice EA didn't have to give Gretzky cover billing like 2K did with Jordan.

@5 + 14

Well what games do you like then? You are a complete hypocrite. I have played hockey for 12 years. And I enjoy playing NHL. I play plenty of sports even though I play sport games and other games. And you say it is the same shit every year?

Compare NHL 11 with NHL 7, or 8, or 9. Completely fucking different. Now if you compare NHL 11 with 10, there are SOME similarities, but they are still different.

You are the biggest retard I have ever met on the internet.

And please tell me why you have 100% in Cod 4, WaW, MW2, and Black ops if you don't even like call of duty? And you even have gamerscore in Cod 3. You are a joke. And after looking at your games, you can't say shit about NHL. You have some good games, but you also have shit games on your list too.

OT: It is about time EA implemented this. 2K already has already done this and the Winter Classic as well. Oh well it is still pretty sweet playing with the legends of hockey.

@5 Does that mean people like you that play COD is too lazy to join the military. People play games because they like them and most likely the games they play they are involved in outside too.

I'm involved in sports and play sport games. I am also in the military and I play COD but not a huge fan of shooters.

In the meantime I will let you get back to playing Hanna Montana.

On Topic:I wonder if getting Gretzy/Chellios etc is going to be extremely hard on Ultimate Team..because it was damn near impossible to get Ovy or Crosby last year..we'll see

NHL'09 and NHL'10 had the Montreal Canadiens Centennial team, now they are putting Wayne Gretzky, Ray Bourque and Chris Chelios in this years game. Ever since playing with the Montreal Centennial team i think EA should go ahead and bring out a Legends of NHL game.

@ #5 - Only an idiot deals in such absolutes.

Anyway, awesome to see 99 and Bourque in there as well as Chelios. My favorite sports moment is still when Bourque lifted the Stanley Cup.

Correction you are the biggest retard I have now met over the internet. How can you say Wayne Gretzky is not a legend?

Quote: legends, really? none of these players are legends


When you think of hockey, you think of Wayne Gretzky. He holds pretty much all the records. And the most.

I really hope you don't play hockey because you know nothing of the sport.

@ everyone who complains about games. ALL games/genres are the SAME! so play what you enjoy & stop trolling! an rpg is an rpg. sports,shooters,adventure extra can be traced to older systems i grew up with. it is what it is so enjoy or dont buy it!

@ 45 trolling isnt cool. i grew up a habs fan & been one for over 38 yrs. dont tell me i dont know hockey.

it use to be every saturday only. the players today have way more games in a season than the original 6. if the players back then had 80 plus games a year. i hate to see how high their stats would be. so grow up, wayne G is a cry baby. mario L has more class.

we took 5-8 yr old boys in scouts to see wayne. he snubbed them all. thats the great one? really? yet mario went to see a child dying @ the hospital & missed his interviews. now thats class and a legend in my books! so go back to kindergarden & leave the rest to us grown ups!

You tell people not to troll yet you do the same thing. Hypocritical?

So you are at least 38 years old. Sad. You still know nothing of hockey, nor capitalization, grammar etc.

You tell me to go back to kindergarten yet you can't even spell kindergarten. And you are 38+ years old and you say that? Very grown up of you.

Let's assume you are right about what you said about Wayne Gretzky. He would still be a Legend despite the fact of what you said (which is BS anyways).

I stand with my earlier statements. You know nothing of hockey and you are the biggest retard I have met over the internet.
