Update: Putting this project on hold because AdamCatalyst is back and I'd like to give my NCAA ROMs more love. Hey all, Tried my hand at a NHL roster update using the College Hockey Gameday ROM as a base. All uniforms updated with the JKline template and NHL logo added where TV would typically superimpose a sponsor Barry Melrose returns to cover the American version of the game (ESPN), and James Duthie does the honors for Canada (TSN) My VonOzbourme-esque head canon for this is that the game is a release on ESPN+ that is meant to help the Disney Bundle compete with Netflix Games Both ROMs are in the folder you can download below Ratings are inspired by a mix of NHL 23, personal opinion, and various sources of analytics Overalls are somewhat largely swayed by hot/cold, so don't put too much stock into them. My overall formula gives more stock to physical hockey because in '94 it is very important. The player class system I used to rate players in CHGD makes a soft return, mostly just to help give value to grinders/forecheckers. Player Cards are of the players in game situations. I personally don't like the portrait style, so I choose to do this. Rosters are "best case scenario" minus players who are on LTIR for the whole year (these players are scratched). So a guy like Ehlers skates, but Backstrom is on the bench if you want him to play for WSH.
