    Legends in Franchise mode?

    Anyone heard whether or not legend players like Gretzky will be available to use in single player franchise?
    I'm not so interested in HUT but It would be great to add some legends to some current teams and play a season.

    I’m pretty sure they will be usable in all modes including offline modes. I believe that is what is implied in the end of the quote from their website.

    “With over 200 legends from multiple eras in hockey’s history, you can take Wayne Gretzky onto the ice and have him join a team with some of the sports' greatest players. NHL 19 also introduces Hero Teams that combine the top players from past and present to create the ultimate fantasy matchups between today’s superstars and yesterday’s legends. Available in single player and multiplayer modes, history is now at your fingertips.”

    In the meantime if you play on PS4 I could send you a USB stick with custom made rosters on it for NHL 18. I got all seasons from 88-89 to 94-95 on it. I’m not sure how it would work in franchise , but it is great for season mode play.

      I didn't purchase NHL 18 but I really appreciate the offer.
      And thanks for pointing out that last sentence.. I failed to see it.
      To use the likes of Fedorov, Lemieux and Lindros in a recent EA game= priceless

        Can we just boot up the usb stick and play? I thought it would not allow you? I would be interested?

          Um I’m not sure... what would be the problem? Can't I just buy another empty USB stick save my data on it and copy it to another system’s storage? I mean that is what I got it for because if my PS4 ever breaks I wanted to have my saved data backed up so I can copy it to a new system. Do you mean do you need the disc? If so yes you need the game installed to your console for it to recognize it so you would need a physical copy of the game. I’ll research it now, but I feel like it can be done.

            As for the rosters. On NHL 18 I am working on the 86-87 roster right now. I finished 87-88 the other day. On NHL 18 I have all rosters from 86-87 to 94-95 on my USB stick. Also on NHL 17 I have all rosters from 95-96 to 06-07 saved to my USB stick. So between the two games I have a ton of rosters to play with. They are not perfect as the faces for some top 9 and bottom 6 forwards and bottom pairing D-men are generic and I overrated players like Gretzky and Lemieux to make them the highest rated players in the game, but other than that they are good enough if you I just want to play a game or a season for a bit of nostalgia.

              Yeah, the new skating system is what sells the game for me , but the legends are definitely a cool bonus. I can’t wait until the first gameplay bit of gameplay comes out. I wonder if we can create helmetless players now that legends from the 50s and 60s are in the game?

                Biggest question in using these legends is what will their ages be in Franchise Mode.

                If they use their actual age like they did a couple years ago, enjoy Gretzky being 50 something years old and only enjoy him for 1 year before he retires.

                  Wow, just wow.



                  I heard of your "little" (meant huuuge) project of re-creating all those past rosters on another forum, and I am interested in seeing it in reality!



                  I am myself keen to re-create good stuff from hockey history... I replaced Florida and Carolina with Quebec and Hartford in my season, but that's all. What you have done is simply amazing.


                  Do you think you could send me your file(s) via mail, please??? (using some sort of file-sharing platform if it is too big, but I don't think it is)


                  Thank you so much in advance
                  cheers

                      Where did you read that? There was a game informer article that suggested you could use them as it talked about the user moving Gretzky to the wild. They also included shots of Gretzky in an Oilers jersey so that would suggest to me that you can move them off the legends teams and on to NHL teams.

                      I feel like all you’ll have to do is move them to a team before starting up your franchise and they’ll be there. That’s what you had to do the last time they were in the game in NHL 12. Speaking of legends when are they going to reveal them? I’d like to know would the 200+ are before I buy lol

                        Hey, sorry I’m just getting back to you. I haven’t checked this thread in a while. My rosters aren’t perfect as jersey numbers are often not correct and some a lot of grinders/role players on 18 have generic faces, but other than that they are good. If I was to send you one It would probably be my NHL 18 saves. Which are now all rosters from 84-85 to 94-95.

                        My NHL 17 saves have crazy ratings lol it was back when I was into overpowering players. I could edit them , but that would be 15 roster slots of all 30 teams to do and I’m just too lazy for it LoL.
                        If you want any information about them I can send you some photos on here or maybe even stream them for you if you’re on twitch. Anyway, shoot me back a message when you can and maybe I can find a way to share them with you.

                          Using Legends Offline on NHL Teams

                          Can anybody confirm an ugly, deceiving, nasty rumor that legends can not be put on to real NHL teams, can't edit the players, can't move the legends at all?

                            I now think you can only use them in hut or play now.This sucks as I played a play now game and most legends had their real face.What a friggin waste.And the gameplay is great this year.

                              That makes no sense!

                              Why did they show Gretzky in an Oilers sweater and then Selanne in the Jets sweater.

                              That’s blatant false advertising.
