I guess the story would be that the double dipping wore thin, [and lacking an extra-teams mod] so there was no "Championship Edition" for '96, meaning fans had to wait for the new year.
Still not a fan of this one, but at least it's better now.
IIHF 97 [Final Cut Edition]
Following the new licensing trend, center ice logos are modeled after sweater crests.
Some uniform colours also corrected to period correct styles.
Again most names were already modified for display. Fixed a few that didn't quite work.
Fixed Team Austria's "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim" Championship banner.
Some things that are still not quite ideal, but are above my pay grade coding-wise.
Team Select still has weird rankings because I can't figure out how to edit the rating numbers.
The team "city" name being a three letter ISO code due to how it's integrated in various places in the game. Not a horrible workaround, but could have been better.
[Not quite] a perfect ten.
