NFL Blitz 2020-PS.z64

Sega Genesis is still the best version. The extra video graphics and sounds on the Sega CD don't really make the gameplay any better. Unfortunately the game slows down/lags for a split second, usually on a change of possession. Happens a lot and it's awful. Second, it seems to me that EA reduced the effect of speed in this game -- fast guys don't have as big of a burst, breakaway speed. In addition, the CD reader (on the physical console) make some noises when loading a new crowd noise which is annoying. I was pretty disappointed in the CD version, I thought it would be Genesis with cooler sounds, but it's not as smooth!

My best guess is that I think Sega CD emulation wasn't very far along when this site and its leagues got going back in 2005-6. Sega CD games are also hundreds of megabytes, which isn't that big a deal these days but was back then. Lastly, out of Genesis, SNES, and Sega CD, Sega CD had by far the lowest ownership.

I'm not sure! Even I've never tried the SegaCD version and I've been here almost 15 years. Few people had the SegaCD, so there's not much attachment to it, and for those whose main interest is playing online, there's no reason to play the CD version when everyone else is already playing the Genesis version. I know @Mr. T was trying to update the sounds on the CD version a few months ago, so some people are interested in it.

Was hoping they would have actually updated the game to include fighting and some new modes, like a season mode, trading/free agency, etc., but I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

Exactly why I am here today. Thanks for this awesome site. Quick question why is there not as much love for the Sega CD version? I'm curious since it seems to be the deinfintive version of NHL '94. I did a search but I didn't see roster updates as much as I've seen with the Genesis and SNES ROMS. Just curious.

A compilation of the best teams from the QMJHL, OHL and the WHL. And the Kelowna Rockets... 2020 Memorial Cup.bin

Was hoping for a full remake but this is EA so all we got was a reheat.

In addition, there will be twists in the game for everyone to enjoy. Something that Ive been thinking about for awhile.

So today I started hacking the original TSB 3 rom and hopefully in a couple weeks I can release it. This will have only hacks that are needed to add 2 teams to the original rom. The biggest 3 hurdles will be the Big Helmets, end zones and the Team Select Menu. I hacked the Big helmets for my face hack and I hacked the Team select to be one team at a time. I will revisit that code and see if I can just add another page like the original has and make it 8 teams per page. I don't think I tried to do that on TSB4 as I already knew what I wanted to do with that menu. Endzones are just a pain to draw and map out because of the way the field is skewed. Not sure how I want to handle it right now, may end up adding the midfield logos and field mapping from TSB4 as It would make future edits way easier for people wanting to do their own roms. I really don't want to do much graphical hacking if I don't need to. The mini helmets and name plates are already done. Working on the menu highlight cursor that highlights the helmet of the team you are currently on. I am doing all the graphics first before adding the coding to make it 32 teams/8 divisions. When I release this I will release it in a new thread and post the link here.

Well I hope you guys give some credit to Chris Alaimo at Classic Gaming Quarterly. For the NHL'94 feature, even Sal Barry, the author of the article admitted that he was inspired by Chris' work even though he didn't give him any credit in the article itself which I thought was strange and a bit sketchy. Chris gave your site love a long time ago in his history of NHL '94. As a long time Hockey News subscriber I had fun reading it and gave my copy to Chris because I felt he deserved the credit to see what his work had inspired. But it was great to learn about this place through his work and I'm glad to make myself a member.
