How to unlock the Versus Legend achievement in NHL 12 - Definitive Guide
Ranked Match
There is 99 levels. This achievement require you to get to level 25.
You can gain up to 3 levels per win, depending on the lvl of your opponent. I managed to unlock the achievement after a record of 26-12-2.
You can see your progress at the end of each game or in the Xbox Live - Community - Leaderboard menu.
The Legends should pull their goalie and let the minor league team score 1-4 goals. Play out the entirety of this game, as you stop earning points if too many wins come from disconnects. Best way to make it go by quick is to have someone win the faceoff, follow the human-controlled player into their end, and just sit there to keep the clock running.
For games two through four, follow the same instructions, but the Legends quit out after two or three minutes of gametime, or once the clock is under 17:00. You earn less points for each subsequent game against the same person with points stopping altogether around the fifth game, so you'll need several people to reach 25 this way.
Rank does not seem to affect this very much; following the above earns you around four or five levels per person.

It might take you time this way to find matches, or let alone someone that will accept your invites (hopefully they don't look at YOUR record/achievement progress as well!)...but I'm up to level 6 already and I've played maybe 6 games or so (winning ~8-0/5-1 each game)
Hope that helps!
If you are looking to do this achievement without boosting, there's an easy method. Don't do quick ranked versus matches. Instead, search for a custom ranked versus. This way you will get matched up with someone of a random skill level. But before the game starts, check the gamertag to see if they have any level achievements. If they don't even have level 5 then play them for an easy win. If you want to boost, go to the versus leaderboards and set it to "My Friends VS." Now you can click on someones name and invite them to a ranked match that no one else can join.
Versus Level 5 - 700 Points
Versus Level 10 - 950 Points
Versus Level 25 - 1700 Points
The game you get your level 25 MUST be a win. Your opponent cannot leave/disconnect or you wont get the achievement..
If this happens, simply lose to go back down to 24, then win a full game and there you go!
To boost versus find a friend and have their second account play. It's recommend to use 5 extra accounts but not needed. Invite your friend from the leader board and it will be ranked versus. Play the first game all the way through after that quit out 4 games around the 18:00 minute mark in the 1st period along with scoring twice. After you quit out 4 games you will not get points until you play a game all the way through. Then switch to your next account and do the same thing. Also note that the Versus Rookie, Versus Pro, and Versus Legend only unlock after finishing a complete match game. If you need a user to play against check out the Versus/Shootout boosting thread.
Here is the required amount of points to unlock each trophy:
- Versus Rookie - 700 Points
- Versus Pro - 950 Points
- Versus Legend - 1700 Points
Thanks to Dangles for the method and ranking levels.
