I like seeing that they're making this a selling point and advertising it - I have fun messing with the legends in a fantasy draft franchise sometimes. I hope they fixed the fantasy draft bug that caused CPU teams to not have enough bench position players though (it evens itself out as players get called up due to injury, so it didn't flat-out kill that way of playing).
Not bad for a 1-minute video
You don't unlock them for offline play - the ones that are in the game should be immediately available. I can't verify whether all of these guys were in the roster when '17 launched, but there are over 70 playable legends in the game right now. I'm guessing they were all there at game launch, but can't say for sure since we're almost a year removed now.
"Legend" designation is used rather liberally since Karros (81 OVR) and Reynolds (86) are considered as such by the game (and I'm including them in the 70), but I'm not counting the developers' players who are no better than 60 OVR.

The team has done a really nice job of allowing us to edit players to make them look like they played in their respective eras.......buuut would it kill them to add some retro low tops or any type of retro cleat?? The franklin gloves are perfect, but it’s hard to find some accurate looking non-generic shoes. I really wish they’d add some low-top retro nike clippers like these. Theyd look accurate for 1950s-90s players.
Cal Ripken never displayed that kind of emotion ever on the diamond.

Thank you!!
I find plenty of worth and enjoyment in a fantasy draft franchise with the legends included. But that's just me.

Best case scenario: I would LOVE for them to let us use created teams in all game modes, so that the roster creators could create throwback teams and set the proper uniforms to be the default Home/Away unis. Would be terrific, too, if they would let us export, upload, and download these individual created teams with the community. I understand you can get a similar result by putting all of the players for said throwback team onto a modern day roster, and then use one of the old school alternates each game, but it's not quite the same.
Giving us a create-a-team feature like this could also help quiet the requests for more throwback uniforms, too...
:splat:
You have my money this year.
Completely agree. Really wish they would/could add more classic equipment besides just the Griffeys. Add them and more classic unis and stadiums and I’d be completely content at that point even with all the other flaws.
And I don't mean copying their skill set for a created player, either--I mean actually looking like them.
All I want to do is see if I can get Nolan Ryan that Cy Young Award that evaded him his whole real-life career, that's all. Not some generic dude with the same name that the commentators call "Nolan...Ryan".
It's an offline mode. Who am I hurting by doing this?
I'll make him my closer and use him in Franchise. I don't even care that he's retired. lol

Like that addition too. Was hoping they had my dude, Thome in this year. But otherwise, I’m digging the legends that have been revealed so far.
