Thats quite an assumption implying that the Panthers will be the worst team in the league this year considering all of the moves they have made. PM me an apology at the end of the season when they finish between 7-10 in the conference. They are a middle of the road team with the best prospects in the NHL. Im sure you know who Bjugstad, Markstrom, Gudbranson, Grimaldi, and Huberdeau are though right?

Re: "Big" Announcement
I guess Im the minority but Im looking forward to this. Hopefully we can play seasons of the past with old teams. I would love to play the '94 NHL season again!
They would definitely need an on/off switch for this otherwise it would ruin everyone's beagm experience.
Gamechanging... no. Would I have fun with it... yes.Last edited by BrightFuture; 08-08-2011, 03:36 PM.Comment

Re: "Big" Announcement
You're drunk. They have a future, a bright one, but it's not 2011-2012. That's called present day and the Panthers aren't ready for it.Thats quite an assumption implying that the Panthers will be the worst team in the league this year considering all of the moves they have made.

Re: NHL 12 Trailer - Legends Teaser
Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, Chicago guy I'll say.......hmm no idea. Seems like a winger with a modern helmet? Don't know if Roenick was really a "legend" or a winger.
My guesses anyways.
EDIT: Just checked again, Chicago #7. Chris Chelios is in.Comment

Re: "Big" Announcement
I think Bjugstad will be a stud, all star NHLer. It was a pleasure watching him develop last season, and hopefully he fully blossoms this year!Thats quite an assumption implying that the Panthers will be the worst team in the league this year considering all of the moves they have made.

Re: "Big" Announcement
maybe its kind of like NBA2k11 and the Jordan Challenges for Shoes?
In 2k11 you completed some of Jordan's greatest games to unlock specific shoes that would give you attribute boosts. Maybe in NHL12 you complete some of Gretzky, Lemieux, etc. greatest games/seasons/careers to unlock EASHL Boosts or the respective HUT cards?
Also look at the achievement list for NHL12 and see all of the achievements tied to Gretzky, Lemieux and OrrDodgers, Lakers, Anaheim Ducks, Raiders, Oregon DucksComment

Re: "Big" Announcement
Overhyped in my opinion. I was hoping for a gameplay enhancement or community enhancement that would improve EASHL and online play. I'm not sure how this impacts "all modes" or how I will play the game.Comment

Re: "Big" Announcement
Not what I was wanting to read. I'm sure people will enjoy using the legends, but I was really hoping for more Be A GM improvements. It appears outside of the sim engine, that mode is the same. That is disappointing to me.Currently Playing:

Re: "Big" Announcement
I have to say I'm disappointed, but not surprised by this being the big announcement.
There isn't anything wrong with adding this type of mode, but they over hyped it and I think that will lead to people who play NHL mostly for 6v6 left shaking their head. Hopefully next year they add something people actually want like online be a gm, rather than wasting development time on broken glass, and goalie fights.Comment

Re: "Big" Announcement
I really don't think the EA team will use generic faces for the best players in NHL history.
Really? You guys overpaid a bunch of depth/boarderline 2nd/3rd line players to hit the cap floor. Sure, the new signings will certainly boost your position in the standings, but you must be smoking some really crazy stuff to think the Panturds are anywhere near playoff bound.Thats quite an assumption implying that the Panthers will be the worst team in the league this year considering all of the moves they have made.

As far as the prospects, sure they have a solid and deep pool but nobody you listed will make an NHL impact this year except for Gudbranson, and there is really no saying how he will do.. being a high-rated prospect does not mean you will have a great rookie year (See:Hedman,Victor). Then again, what does it matter? FLA cannot even retain any of their good players...Olli Jokinen, Nathan Horton, Vokoun, and so many more...
Oh, and it does not help that your starter is nicknamed Jose Three-or-more.

Re: "Big" Announcement
First off, the announcement is great. We will finally have a chance to play with the greats and see how they match up against today's players. And to say that it is not an announcement that is big, let's look at basketball and football. 2K added Jordan and sold more copies than ever before. NFL allowed legends and 2K based an entire game on them.
Now, to be honest, outside of Canada these legends won't seem all that great, but to Canadians over 20, these are the guys we grew up idolizing and it will be great to play with them. I am going to reserve full judgement until I see how they are going to be incorporated, but I am excited. And to say this is the same as the All Canadiens team is garbage, these guys made hockey in North America a great sport, the Canadiens were important in Canada, but if you didn't like Montreal, you didn't like them. The NHL has a tougher time selling "Legends" because there are many "professional" leagues in the world, unlike the NFL and NBA.
I truly believe that the announcement that would change the way you played every mode was the new simulation thing. So I think people are confused that this is THE big announcement.
All that being said, I truly believe that more people are ecited about the game because of Gretzky being in it than TD Garden in Boston.
