Until I hear it’s been fixed, I’m not buying this game. I was really looking forward to using legends this year, on there respective teams. Hut don’t count. I’m not paying for packs and grinding all day, to maybe be able to get a couple decent legends in two months.
Main reason I got this game too, Legends in Franchise. This is pretty ridiculous. Make them all 18. "AAA developer" here folks.
As if we needed more proof that all they care about is getting the game out on release day for their low, supplementary income hockey title, and $ for precious HUT cards.
Ea needs to take a cue from mlb the show and nba 2k. You can do whatever you want with the legends there and plenty of people still play the ultimate team modes. If this ever gets fixed it will be a dream game for me. Will see if it happens though. I’m not getting my hopes up.
I got "gretzky" in franchise mode drafted first overall franchise med potential and wayne gretzky was his comparison player not the same as the real gretzky but ill take it i paid a ton to move up in that draft too
Hear hear to all your comments. I actually created 20 teams back in nhl 16. Took me forever. Only did 6 f. 4 d. 1 g. Used scrub players to fill roster but double shifted legends. I created mainly 80s 90s guys. And alot of names are half there. My faces are about 60pct ok. Bodies. Jersey numbers pretty good. Type in nhl 16 classic teams on you tube couple samples. But man alive if we could use these 250 legends i would just create my own arenas etc. Like le colisee. Boston gardens. I only do 20 teams and put them in ohl. Like old norris. Smythe. Adams and patrick minus new jersey.
I have been checking every day on here for a update,why doesn’t some one from ea explain what is going on? They posted on twitter today about 200 legends, there is barely 100, I don’t play on line either. What a joke this is. No way in hell am I giving them any money to use a legend they have advertised that is available

A scandal really, how hard can that be to fix, really? They sell us Gretzky with the cup. What do we get?
They advertised it, promoted it, boasted about the 200+ legends, and was VERY vague about where they were. I was going to pre order it because i was excited to play the Legends in season mode. I may have even still pre-ordered it if they had explained it, say something, communicate to the community that is buying your game... Instead they leave it at a vague, "play with and against the greats" and let everyone find out for themselves when the game is released.. THEN say something when the game is out and people are commenting, reviewing etc... The whole Legends advert and promotion seemed really sly to me, not mentioning that it will only be in HUT.
This should not get buried. Deception at its finest and criminal how there has been no communication by EA on this issue since the game was released on its worldwide date.
I will play the legends in franchise and season mode too. That was the reason for me to buy this game.
Can EA give an official feedback, if they want to solve the problem?
An update at least would be nice its been 2 weeks since release devs have been very vocal about hut and online issues but franchise issues seem to not be on their radar they may be working on it but theres no communication on the matter @NHLDEV could we get an update at the very least please an thank you?
I agree. They clearly show gretzky and 9 others in their proper uniforms in trailer. Thats not even hut per say. Because hut can be any uniform. Come on ea answer us please. This sucks.
This is the epitome of tone deafness. You really can't make this stuff up.
I bought this game with the specific intent of using legends in my franchise mode. It's an absolute farce that that option is unavailable after being advertised that it would be.

They have updated us. Here on the forums, on Twitter from the Community Manager that the Legends cause problems in Franchise mode and that's why they aren't available in Roster Creation/Franchise. But like i said, numerous questions were asked before release and nothing was said until people starting posting videos of gameplay and asking where the Legends were. The Community Manager did say they aren't available "yet" and they are "working towards it". I don't know what that means but it seems its in the distant future. Obviously it's not their top priority because they have a long list of problems with online play....... My issue isn't that they aren't in, its that they weren't clear before, and even now a vague "not yet" and "working towards it" which sounds like 4 - 6 months down the road lol. fyi - the twitter post was a day before the EA Access release.

We've been aware of the cause for some time and we know theyre working on it but that information is weeks old with nothing but silence in that time hence the "update" request a timeline some acknowledgment not weeks of silence the devs have been very vocal about hut and online issues as i already stated even if the update is just were still working on it but we have no new information yet then offline users wouldnt be feeling ignored you showing a twitter post from 23 days ago before the game release isnt an "update" doesnt help anyone just shows how long theyve been silent
My guess since its an age issue seems as simple as adding the players editing ages and releasing as a roster update would be the easiest fix so they could be waiting for the season to start for the first official roster update with rookies off season moves ect and the official roster update might be when we get the legends thats just speculation on my part but if they told us something like that an wed be getting them mid october id be satisfied with that
