How to unlock the Legend GM achievement in NHL 12 - Definitive Guide

Start GM mode and put it on rookie diffulculty and then the salary cap off. When it comes time to pick teams hit LB to put that on rookie as well the substitute all the bad teams in except for one, which will be your team. Substitute the legends team in for your team and start the season. Simulate everything the first year and you should almost go undefeated and win the Stanley cup then sign all the legends whos contracts are expiring, give them two year contracts and add a little money onto their asking price. Simulate another year and do the same in the offseason again simulate the third season and upon winning the cup for the third straight year you should have your achievement and if by some miracle you do not just do another seaon. Good luck hope this helped.

It took me five seasons for some reason. But this is a great guide!

Worked like a charm. I followed the guide to the letter, went 80-2-0 my first season, 82-0-0 my second, and 79-3-0 my third, and I got the achievement at the end of the third regular season.

Start the GM Modus with all activated ROOKIE Settings choose an NHL Team (e.g. Vancouver, Boston whatever you like) and switch all the other teams with other leagues like National League, DEL... And then Simulate. The first season i just simmed all over and won the Stanley Cup. For the fact of retireing an going for UFA and RFA players you have to do your work business work (Contracts etc) otherwise the good people are off to the other teams. If you could hold the most good players and some new good ones, you can sim again, just make sure you go to the playoffs. I did play some games from the 3rd period when i assumed they could loose the game. I managed to get the Achievement after 3 Seasons and some games of the 4th.

On xbox360achievements.org is also mentioned that you could change the all the players of your team to all the best of nhl, so they tell also, if you do that you don't have to do any contracting an so on... But a little bit fun an business wasn't that bad at all.

This solution will require almost no work,almost.
*Start your game and select no salary cap and fantasy draft on and no injuries. ( no GM firing if you really want)
*Scroll over potential and hit the button to put the highest potential at the top and begin selecting the best rookies and highest potential players.
*Put your lines how you want them and start Sim'ing
*You will have one or two bad seasons while your players begin to develop but by the third season you will be making the playoffs
*Play when you want but I just simmed to the draft, draft good players and continue simming.
*Try to do some of the easiest GM tasks
If you do these steps it shouldn't be hard, it took me 6 six years and I did 4 seasons in half hour.

P.S I only won one Stanley Cup.

Go into Game Modes > Be a GM. When setting up the settings make sure to turn the salary cap OFF and playoffs are set to one game series. One game series are quicker and usually the better team wins so there's less simulating. Also, turn OFF CPU trades and waivers. Here's the trick, before you select your team (NHL All-Stars RED TEAM) sub out ALL the NHL teams with teams from other leagues that are 68 overall and below. Make sure the team you will be using is set to use the the NHL All-Stars RED TEAM.

Now go ahead and start to sim away (but be warned that you will need to hit a few times to continue sim as you will get messages from your owner), and in this NHL league you will average 62-70 wins per season. Just remember to re-sign your players each off season and within 3-4 seasons you will reach Legendary status and unlock the trophy.

One last thing, when in the playoffs make extra saves in case you happen by chance to lose a game.

NOTE: You can play on rookie mode and set the GM difficulty to rookie mode. 
What I did was edit the rosters and take all the best NHL players and put them on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Then when you have to pick your team for Be A GM, I simply swapped out all the NHL teams with DEL, OHL or whatever bad teams I could find. Make sure you set playoffs to “Single Game Elimination.” Now all you have to do is simulate through 3 full seasons. You don’t have to worry about anything as long as you win the Stanley Cup 3 times you are guaranteed to earn enough GM points to get your legend plaque.

To quickly get this trophy, when you start your GM career, you need to replace any team with the Legends team and select the GM difficulty easily so that there are fewer points in GM before the legend. Then we simply pretend to the title of GM legend and the trophy is yours . The team wins almost all games and quickly gains legendary status.

PS: you can also try replacing opposing teams with clubs from youth leagues to make it easier for your club to win, but even without this, the trophy is obtained very quickly and easily.
