  1. I am indeed still alive, hockey season is just an extremely busy time of year for me. Been in the lab working on another unfinished project and also working on this update.

    My partner is probably shooting me the side eye for wasting valuable working hours by responding here.

    Time to make the donuts.

  2. I've completely redrawn sprites since this was originally created 5 years ago and would also want to update many other things that I've improved upon since then. 

    Unfortunately I'm working on some other things these days and this is not something I plan on updating soon.

    I do appreciate that someone is still playing this though!

    @smozoma I've been trying to figure out how the Displayed Rating Values are calculated in the ROM. I can see with Weight that there is merely a base weight figure that is set, with each additional Weight "point" adds an increment of 8 above that. But for this… how did you adjust this? I can't figure out if there is a multiplier variable set to 7, or a lookup table, or whatever. You must have done SOMETHING, but I can't figure out what it is. Any insight as to how the displayed values is handled, a HEX address to a multiplier, any insight whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

    I second that, just did my first 0-15 rom and had a lot of similar questions.

    Played with Arizona Coyotes vs Ottawa Senators. Karel Vejmelka catches from right hand but is lefty in game. Not sure of the 82 rating as a team for Coyotes is realistic compared with 74 for Sens. Just for addtional infos. Thank you.

    Noted on Vejmelka. Typo on my part and will update for the future.

    For the overall team ratings I used a hybrid of a couple different power ratings (TSN, MoneyPuck, etc.) along with my own ratings. To be honest I didn't put too much thought into how individual teams compared to each other but I suspect that Ottawa's slow start and Arizona doing better than expected explains a lot. Glad to see @AdamCatalyst come out with similar results. No bias for/against any teams here. (except maybe Detroit - I kid, I kid...)

  5. Fox is a tough one to rate in the game because only a few of his individual attributes stand out. I did incorporate NHL Edge data into the ratings this season which hurt his overall even more. He's not fast, not a hitter, has an average shot. Passing and defensive awareness don't make up for that, at least in the calculation of his overall rating.

    Comparing Makar to Fox, he's significantly faster, is more of a scoring threat and is slightly more physical. Other than that their ratings are almost the same. I suppose Fox could be bumped up a little to cover his reputation but then that brings into question who else should get the same treatment - which I try to avoid.

    Appreciate the questions as it makes me reconsider how I rated players. It's not easy as there 832 players in the game and there's not a whole lot of room for nuance. You're rating on a select few attributes. Just based on how the overall is calculated certain qualities have an oversized impact. Don't want to inflate things just to get to an imaginary overall rating number.

    But yeah, Fox probably gets hosed a bit based on what he's good/not good at...

  6. Yes, every player is set to D to allow them to be used at any position.

    Rosters were based on opening night with late cuts / injured players / veterans used to fill out the remaining roster spots. Since this was started as a beginning of the season ROM last year's performance weighs heavily on ratings. Just not large enough of a sample size to rerate everyone based on 6 weeks of play. I imagine there will be a roster update or two over the course of the season where updates to performance will be taken into account.

    The beauty of NOSE is that you can tweak as you see fit as injuries and call ups occur.

    My bad on Smith, I'll update accordingly.

    As someone living near Agganis Arena… I am so so so ready for the Celebrini & Hutson show. 
     

    Excited to get a sneak peek with this!

    You will thoroughly enjoy watching him play although he just had shoulder surgery and may not start the season.

  8. I know what you're probably thinking, "Didn't someone JUST do this one?"...

    The difference is that that one sat in my unfinished projects folder for about a year, this time around the season only wrapped up a week ago. Also helps not to have to do all the artwork from scratch :lol:

    If you haven't heard of Macklin Celebrini... you will.

    46 goals and 40 assists in only 50 games as a 16-year old. Already the odds-on favorite to be drafted #1 overall in 2024.

  9. Since the majority of my projects don't use NHL teams I've been trying to come up with a more detailed list of the songs available. As awesome as a random Brass Bonanza appearance may be, it doesn't always fit the particular ROM. Although most of the tunes sound very familiar (possibly from playing this game far too many times to count) it's been difficult for me to attach names to them when thinking of them in terms of hex code.

    I reached out directly to Dieter Ruehle who was kind enough to try and identify several for me. After Shazaam failed miserably I then did what any self respecting middle ager does and headed over to YouTube to try and find similar clips. I came across the video below which was really helpful putting a name to a certain tune. The organist, Tony Ouradnik, was kind enough to take the mp3 zip file of the songs from NHL'94 and not only update my notes and the working list from here but also to identify the starting chords and creatively name some of the common tunes to differentiate them from one another.

  10. Started this one about a year ago and finally finished.

    For those unfamiliar, the USHL is the top junior league in the U.S. The main difference between the US/Canadian juniors is that 99% of USHL players go on to play NCAA D1 hockey. There were 57 USHL players selected in the 2022 NHL draft including 23 from the US National Team Development Program and 34 from other member clubs.

    Without further ado:

    It wasn't until after I made this forum thread, that I realized the net colour palettes identified by @clockwise in 2010 start at 0xA16B8, while the puck palettes end at 0x0A16C2, just 8 bytes away.

    That was the path that I was on (considering their tiles are neighbors so why not hex, no?) but sadly something just didn't work out... Oh well, learned a lot along the way and we've got our solution now. Thanks again for digging this one out!

    I guess the ref popup window has become the new holy grail @von Ozbourne

  12. Was away this weekend and finally had some time to dive into this as it deserves far more than just a passing glance. Thanks so much for putting this together Adam! The references are absolutely incredible. Even things that I've been tinkering with for years feel so much clearer - and no more counting 7 tiles over from a known location since you've included all the addresses to boot!

    The only thing I could add would be that you can do some fun stuff with the center ice logos by combining the "traditional" 6x4 center ice tiles with surrounding tiles. You can enlarge the logo and also use a common palette (second palette is generally most versatile) to create a universal logo for a ROM - international events, tournaments, etc.

    Not sure what it would be useful for but the center ice tiles also don't HAVE to be at center ice, they can be moved around and manipulated using the techniques you've outlined above.

    Theres a khl rom floating around here but we are allowed to download it for political reasons. Yet its funny we are still allowed to acknowledge Ovechkin are his recording breaking try. Go figure???

    I created the roms and chose to take them down (quietly) because I don't support Putin and his cronies nor clubs run by the army and navy. I never intended for this to become a political debate - that's why I just took them down (quietly). To each their own but I did not personally feel comfortable having them out there considering what's going on in the world.

    Nobody on this board had anything to do with this other than me.

  14. Can't wait until next season to have the chance to play with Connor Bedard in 16-bit glory?

    Thank you as always to @slapshot67 @clockwise @smozoma for their original resources. Apologies to anyone I've missed, it certainly wasn't intentional.

    Looking forward to incorporating some of the amazing new discoveries out there in future projects but I was too deep into this one already.

    Special thanks to @von Ozbourne for the original opening screen, Zamboni, NHL Network and three stars artwork from the Reverse Retro mod and for general "technical support" aka answering stupid questions.

    Enjoy!

  15. OK... In hex editor you need to change the tiles as follows:

    2023-03-16 21_46_08-Window.png

    Find your current center ice logo:

    2023-03-16 21_48_29-Window.png

    Save a copy of your center ice logo and rotate it from a horizontal to a vertical format.

    Change your tile layout from 6x4 to 4x6:

    2023-03-16 21_48_40-Window.png

    Paste the rotated logo into TM:

    Should be good from there...
