LOL, I would never say that. You just recap each exhib and point out everything that went wrong for your team and any bad luck. I find it funny, and I look forward to "gretzyonacold is typing..." during the post-game. And of course you know I'll always play exhibs when you ask. My own bad habit is to pause/unpause after I let in a bad, or what I consider to be a bad, goal. It's not meant to kill the crowd noise or momentum or anything...more of a habit and my own frustration. So if you see me doing that, you've got me rattled.

Lol. All credit goes to Corey Sandler.

So sad and frustrating. That's all I can say.

This guy is really funny...looking forward to game 2!

I'll close registration on Sunday the 15th (so like midnight EST on Saturday) and then we'll get this season underway shortly thereafter. Anyone signing up after will be on the waiting list. We have 14 signed up so far, which is great! Looking forward to getting started!

Do you use a controller? Which one?

Lol, I just asked you the same question in your other post....so I guess you have the gensoid app but haven't played it yet? Google, my dear friend, here we go...

I've never heard of this app before! How exciting...is there a Bluetooth or mini usb controller that you use to play?

We played our series...Carse won 3-0. Sorry Witt, I guess neither of us told you.

Yaaaaaaaay!

Boooo! That reminds me, I should note that you can still hold down the B button to get control of goalie, if you don't like using the Y button.

Welcome to the Survivor League Season 2 Sign Up and Information Thread! This season will be very similar to the inaugural season, with the following changes: Weight bug fixed ROM (thanks smozoma!), instead of classic. Goalie Control "Y" button hack! (thanks clockwise!) All 26 teams available to use (1 home and 1 away), instead of a randomely chosen set. Penalties for not finishing games in the regular season. You will lose an "x" number of teams available in the playoffs (if you make it) for missing regular season games. How many teams you lose, for how many games, and what teams you lose have not yet been determined…I'll figure it out soon. It's meant as an extra incentive to finish up your regular season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1. Weight Bug Explanation: Weight is the main attribute that determines checking ability and resistance. In the Classic ROM for Genesis, it's BACKWARDS so that lighter guys (Fleury, Gilmour, Roenick) are monster checkers and the larger guys (Lindros, Lemiuex, Bourque) are feathers. Hence the weight "bug". This ROM fixes that nasty bug, so heavy guys are meant to check like they are supposed to! 2. Goalie Control "Y" Button Hack The original ROM only uses 3 buttons and to gain control of the goalie, you have to hold "B" down for a second or so. Thanks to the work of clockwise (and Kaneda), this ROM now uses a 6-button controller configuration, where the "Y" button will automatically switch to goalie control. No delay! NOTE: It's important to configure your GENS for 6-button controller, even if you are using 3 (map the other buttons to keyboard), or else you will immediately desynch when playing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ROM can be downloaded here: Survivor_S02.bin The information below is based on a 20-person league, and can be subject to change depending on how many people sign up. OVERVIEW 36 game regular season using the survivor season 02 ROM (weight bug fixed with goalie button). 2 divisions of 10 teams Top 7 in each division make playoffs, with division winner getting 1st round bye. "Survivor" style -- you can only use 1 home and 1 away game for each of the 26 teams. Automated Google Docs for logging scores and automatic standings update (see below) REGISTRATION Reply to this thread! There are no plans for an "A" and "B" league, so this will be open to everyone. If your opponent is a stronger player, try to use your best team available and hope he uses a weaker team. OR, go ahead and use a weak team and take the loss! Pick your strategy!

RedWingDevil/iceguy94 14. kupuck19/kupucknhl94 ------------------(waiting list)--------------- 15. 16. RULES Standard Classic League rules -- 5 min periods, no line changes, penalties on (except offsides). Each coach can use up to 1 home and 1 away game with any of the 26 teams to complete their regular season. Once you use a team, you can no longer use them again for the regular season. This is commonly referred as a "survivor" format. Tracking of available teams will be done automatically (see below). Away team chooses their team first, and the home team picks second. Home always has the final choice of their team. POINTS/STANDINGS 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. No points for OT loss. Standings based on points, followed by GFA - GAA. DNPs (if necessary) will be treated as 0-0 ties, but no points awarded. SCHEDULE/PLAYOFFS Checkpoints will be based on the average number of games played each week. If you're significantly below average, you will be warned. Fall too far back and you may be replaced. Deadlines & remaining schedule will be posted at some point during the season. Playoffs 14 teams make the playoffs (7&7) 2 division winners get a bye week Best of 7 series Team selections reset at the start of playoffs, with 1 home and 1 away available for all teams. Missing regular season games may result in losing available teams as a penalty (TBD) Once you use a team, you can no longer use them again in the playoffs Bye week teams gain an advantage in that they save using 4-7 teams LOGGING SCORES Let's say I played my first game with LA Robbie, I was the home team, and I used DAL and he used VAN. Final score was DAL 3 VAN 8. Since I was home, I am responsible for inputting the score. First I click the link to get to the document (to be provided when season starts) "A" I find and click on my coach sheet, KingRaph. You will also see your coach name displayed on the top. Anything I need to input will be shaded green. I find my game against Robbie and click on my home team selection ( . Clicking the little arrow will bring up a list of my available home teams to use. I choose DAL, then click on the cell to input my score of 3. I repeat the process for the away team (Choose VAN, 8). That's it!!! You'll notice after you input the scores, the cells are no longer green. The records, stats, and standings will automatically be updated (may take up to 5 minutes to be updated on published website), and the list of available teams will also be updated. You see that I no longer have DAL available as a home team to use ( C ) When Robbie looks at his screen, he will see the away game results and he will no longer have VAN to use as an away team. There is also an "opponent frequency" field which will track what teams your opponents use against you. Please sign up even after 20 spots to get on the waiting list!!!

lol, I was hoping to get a few in this past weekend. I had three separate Blitz coaches (they'll remain nameless) tell me they are rusty, so they can't play now, or play exhibs only. Just a matter of time I guess....let's go fellas!

The best I've seen is to flip the puck from behind the net using "A" button dump. Sometimes the puck will bounce on top of the net, off the back of the goalie and in the net.

100% true.

FYI, I sent a PM to ALL Blitz members letting them know the forums are back and Blitz is on (except Robbie and ProBob who played, and Freydey, who wasn't able to receive messages).

First!

For you, it'll be done with the Spring classic update.

I've already done Blitz, so it's not a problem putting Blitz and Classic in one place. I don't have any GDL results though, nor do I know where to get them -- if someone has and can send me the standings for the last 4 seasons, this IIHF file is easy to update.

Here's an update to smozoma's Classic IIHF Rankings (thank you smozoma!). I changed some of the rules regarding missing prior/future seasons -- mostly to keep everything automated (easy to update), and partly my own preference. The Rules At the end of each season, you get points. The values of the top 10 positions: Rk Value 01 1200 02 1160 03 1120 04 1100 05 1060 06 1040 07 1020 08 1000 09 960 10 940 From 11 onwards the difference is always 20 points. Each playoff series win, the teams get 'reseeded' in the rankings, so in the end, the champion is 1st, runner up 2nd, and semi-finalists 3rd and 4th based on Pts%. The remaining spots are filled in based on regular season performance. In general, the top two B coaches, I rank ahead of the A coaches who didn't make the playoffs in each season. (If 8 make playoffs, B champ and runner-up are #9 & #10). Also B Semifinalists rank ahead of bottom 2 A coaches). The C league is not used for rankings. Missing past seasons points are filled in using the next more recent season's rank minus 3 score Missing 'future' seasons are filled in with the prior season's rank minus 4 score Missing interim seasons are filled in with an average rank score of the next nearest seasons. The TOTAL VALUE is calculated by adding the values from each previous season, but previous seasons depreciate according to this table: Season 1: 100% Season 2: 75% Season 3: 50% Season 4: 25% Below are the latest rankings: SNES Results

I just tried and everything seems to work. Thank you!

Just want to say that these ROM & league ideas (3v3, reverse, bench) are great! Very creative and fun. Thank you for creating and sharing...maybe someone will piggy back on this for the GENS folks. And awesome website too (snesot.com)!!!

^^ I enjoyed the stories, thanks for sharing.

Lol. Invite him to NHL94.com, of course.

I have faith that I will meet Jesus one day. His pixelpuck website is updated regularly with '94 material, so we know he's out there.
