Gens - Bodycheck ROM

[Bo Knows NHL94]

Voc and I were talking about his Heavy Hitters ROM and we decided to make a similar one to deal with the weight bug. Players have had their weights redistributed based on the amount of checking and aggression they possess. This will make players like Scott Stevens and Ulf Samuelson not worthless but be able to hit like they really should be able to.

The new weights were determined with a simple formula:

(Chk + Agr) / 2 = N

The new N value corresponds with an appropriate weight:

5 = 164 (Only 1 player, Ulf Samuelson)

4.5 = 172 (Very few players, I believe 5 or 6)

4 = 180

3.5 = 188

3 or 2.5 = 196

2 or 1.5 = 204

1 or .5 = 212

For example:

Jeremy Roenick has 2 CHK and 3 AGR. That gives him an N of 2.5. 2.5 = 196 lbs.

Richard Pilon has 3 CHK and 5 AGR. That gives him an N of 4. 4 = 180 lbs.

Pretty simple, but it really balances things out. A draft league with this ROM could be interesting, currently Voc is thinking about it. If anybody wants it I'll post it.

I think this is a great rom, and I won't even shamelessly claim it was all my idea like I usually do. It adds realistic elements of strategy and makes more defensemen valuable than the original game.

The game is the same.

the weights of the players are different.

there was a bug in the game that made it so light players could check better than heavy ones.. so this rom just changes the weights of the players so the checking makes more sense.................................
