Others are set as NON-TEAM. NHL 94 - EIHL 19-20 Edition V1.3.1-1 (FINAL - BRACKETS UPDATED)

Having a play session now. Have changed devils home shorts to red with no issues. Also made the ice a less vivid blue (personal taste), but can't have white due to palette limitations doing odd things with other rink features. No issues thus far. Fingers crossed! Ooh, found one. Belfast visitors kit is a reddy pink, which they used ascan alternate. Gonna change it to white and teal to avoid confusion. Ok, sorted a Giants white kit, and also got white ice without weirdness. All is grand!

Ive edited the rom and reposted here. Just have to download and play. EIHL '20 (94) v1.1.bin

And by saying NOSE requires 16 teams, for each bracket, of course, I mean the game does. I'm not sure if there is a way to change that or not. Now, if only 8 teams make the brackets, the easiest way to do this, with limited work on your part, is make all 8 teams face themselves in round 1. That way, you fill all 16 brackets. Then, round 2, is a true 8 team bracket.

Thanks, @UltraMagnus. I will play through it when I have some time this week and drop you a message with any points. They will only be minor, as the game runs really well!

If there is anything else. Keep posting it and we can make sure this rom is rock solid.

Must have been Sandstrom being binned then.

To Mac's point, you could put 8 of your 10 teams on one side of the bracket and on the other, just repeat team #9 or team #10. As you get a max of 32 playoff bracket scenarios, you can do this several times so that the eight random teams will always be guaranteed a particular opponent in the Finals. I did a similar concept with my Game of Thrones rom. I was random with the various Houses(teams) entered on one side but on the other side, you always end up facing off against the Night King and the White Walkers. Unfortunately, the older the game, the less hacking you can do without "breaking" the gameplay. And in some cases, some hacks just aren't possible. The game was developed with a certain concept(s) in mind.

For an 8 Team Bracket Do your 8 teams on the left side of the bracket. Put an Easter Egg team or teams on the other side. I also make all the banners for the Easter Egg Teams Blue like the screen My 1968-1970 Roms have 8 team brackets. 1967 and before have 4 team brackets. I do not know of a way to actually make the bracket, just 8 teams. I would love to be able to hack the rom to be best of 3 (H A H) and Best of 5.

As I think on it, now, I don't think you can. However, I haven't tried it so I am going off of the logic of the game. You'd have to give it a whirl to confirm or, as I mentioned somewhere above, to try out Coach Mac's Original 6 roms and see if it works or not. If it doesn't restrict them from appearing in a playoff game(s), then I recommend the alternative idea of having all 8 teams play themselves in round 1 so that round 2 is realistic. Like Magnus said, if you go that route, consider different scenarios for the 8 teams as you have 10 to work with in the game.

@LaTormenta easiest fix is that. Pretty straight forward. And just copy and paste the same match up for each setting. Make sure you have atleast 4-6 different layouts....just for diversity sake.

You can limit the EA Hockey Nights Teams. If you only want you 8 or 10 teams to show, you can limit it to just them. Credit goes to @slapshot67 for this hack.

When you create the rom, make the first ten teams be the teams of the league (as you've done). Download EARE and for the Selectable Teams window, select 10 for the Playoffs as it will only limit to the first 10 teams you created (as you've done). Unfortunately, you'll still need to include 6 filler teams (teams 11-16) but they won't feature in your playoffs as long as you don't make them an opponent of any of the 10. But, NOSE requires you enter 16. For the actual (visual) in-game brackets, create 6 special banners (possibly blank blue ones to resemble the background) to cover the banners that will appear for teams 11-16. I recommend checking out any of Coach Mac's Original 6 roms. If memory serves, he's done this concept with 6 teams.

With COVID lockdown in Finland and all the bars closed, I might as well have a few beers at home and make an extra update. 21_3.rar

@MonkeyHead - I have had the pleasure of having a couple of games of the '94 version this evening (I needed to correct a few typos before @UltraMagnus posts it) and I am loving it! Honestly, the boy is a genius and I will be updating the ROM every year now once the season starts.

I also posted this in the GENERAL QUESTION section on the website but hoping to get more answers on this forum. First off let me say the NHL 95 ROMS are great from detail perspective but the gameplay is not just as great like NHL 94. That’s just my opinion. I’ve found old ROMS in the forums for NCAA & AHL on NHL 94 ROMs. The gameplay is awesome & I know how to use NOSE to edit the players & so fourth. The ONLY problem is adding teams. The AHL is from 2005 & NCAA is like maybe 8 teams. I play the BIG10 version because I’m Notre Dame fan. My question is anyone thinking about making either NCAA or AHL ROM on the NHL 94 ROM for the 2021 season?
