  6. 87 Solo Rom attached

    in Genesis Roms

    Posted

    Here is a ROM designed to play by yourself.  It is Coach Mac's '87 ROM as a base.  

    Choose from 4 weak teams (4th or 5th place in their division that year): LA, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, or Quebec.  All other teams are loaded with players rated 100-120.  No matter which of these 4 teams you choose for playoffs, your 15 opponents will all be the loaded teams.  Also, your goalie on these 4 teams has been made very weak for more fun.  I am a decent player (in my own mind), and I find this ROM a good challenge for solo play.

    This ROM could be even better if the extra teams in the 30 team ROM were used to give me more options beyond these 4.  I imagine a ROM with 15 loaded teams for playoff opponents and 15 weak teams for playing options, but this adjustment is beyond me.

    Yup, and even the portraits can easily be fixed using EARE.

    EARE can reshuffle portraits only if you use the original players but on different teams or in different positions, right?

    If I make new players or import them from another ROM, things get wacky.

  19. All time great teams hack---has it been done?

    It looks like you found what you were looking for, but since you asked, I am sharing my "NHL Dream."

    Since my skills are limited, I only made changes using NOSE.  Players' pictures, team ratings, graphics, etc. are not accurate.  However, I did use Coach Mac's '87 ROM as a base since I love the 80s and love his work.

    Many of my decisions will make no sense to others, but I do think that the game is a fun solo game.

    You can choose from 8 teams that had not won a cup as of 1990: Quebec, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Washington, Los Angeles, Vancouver, St. Louis, or Minnesota.  I set playoff brackets so that only 4 of these weaker teams show up at a time(1 in each division) and the other 12 teams are better opponents.  Your opponents are suped-up cpu teams whose player ratings reflect a team ranking (A, B, or C) that I assigned each.  The best opponent in the Wales is Montreal; the best opponent in the Campbell's is Edmonton.  Only 10 skaters are included for most teams.  I play with line changes ON for 7 minute periods, so the cpu and I would rarely need a checking line.  If you do use line changes, please know that most 2nd lines are an 80s line, not an all-time greats line (except Montreal).  The timeline cut off is 1989-90, so Detroit will have Howe and Yzerman but not Lidstrom.  Edmonton will have Gretzky and Coffey but not McDavid.  Pittsburgh will have Lemieux but not Jagr or Crosby. Really, it's mostly a 70s and 80s ROM that goes back further in time for certain all-time greats. 

    You can also play with my favorite NHL 80s stars against a suped-up Soviet team.

    Remember that I call it "NHL Dream" because it is not historically accurate but a weird mix of my childhood memories and impressions.  For me personally, it is a lot of fun!

    To do all-time teams, I think: 

    1. Your best bet is to keep it mostly "best lines ever."  Use LA's Triple Crown Line, Buffalo's French Connection, Detroit's Production Line, etc. That way not every player has to be a 100 or whatever. Also, there would be fewer "time leaps" within a roster. The original 6, though, would have a true all-time team. For example, Montreal would have Beliveau playing with Richard and Lafleur.

    2. You would have to let go of the strict statistical formula because it's too hard to say which specific year you are using. Be creative and use our inexact impressions from history.

    3. If you use the 21 teams (pre-San Jose), you would basically be making a "best of the 70s and 80s" rom (cool!). The original 6 could dip further back in time to include Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard, etc.
