@seamor TB is posted as well as SJ and STL as of this morning. Let me know what you think about TB(and any other rosters).

Excellent input thank you sir! Bradley was already on my list for that reason. I'm hoping to complete SJ, STL, TB, VAN, WSH, WPG today(TOR is already posted). Keep me in check with TB once posted.

I've replaced Couturier with Dornhoefer and Favell with Lindbergh. That sucks that he died so young, and a season after he won the Vezina. I've never even heard of the guy. Thanks for the tips on both!

Thanks for your input as always @clockwise Thanks @Bob Kudelski! I've been seeing your comments a few times and have made the changes based on your input. I've been marking them as complete in the sheet but not sure if it's letting you know that or not. I appreciate your input! I'm hoping to get the remaining 5 or 6 teams done sometime in the next few days. I was originally thinking the two existing all star teams would be a north american and a world all star team respectively. Last night I was thinking what if I make those teams a combination of the most recent expansion teams? Predators, Wild, Blue Jackets, Thrashers/new Jets(and maybe Golden Knights somehow)? What are your thoughts?

Thanks man. This is extremely helpful and I was already leaning towards your same picks.

Refer to main post going forward for updates.

I agree it's not the best name but IMO it's better than the Golden Knights.

As an update the following teams are 'done' with the rough draft roster lists: ANH BOS BUF CGY CHI DAL/MIN DET To give you guys a taste I separated these tabs into a separate Google Workbook for you guys to agree/disagree with what I have so far. Please provide feedback on any changes or even lineups. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16BEEwdQupRDICQZ5zShdYsrbo6_wKiW-twWKhDBQ_tc/edit?usp=sharing I'm hoping to release these rough drafts in batches like this for everyone to dissect and provide feedback. Ignore the color coding. That's just for me after I finalize the rosters and color code the lines. However the yellow highlighted cells are where I need some help determining which team the player should be placed on. I'm trying to be firm on having each player on a single team if I can help it.

This has been my main resource. Also helps me see which guys led the league in which stats for each season. This will help me adjust the ratings for guys from the 1920s-60s or so. This has been extremely helpful. As for choosing which team a player is on this has been a lot of help. It also shows their hardware in addition to how many years they were there. I wouldn’t be able to do this without this.

Oh wow for some reason I thought he won with them. Looks like he just missed out. Yeah I would put him on the Sabres for sure then. I did not know about those other two ROMs. I will try and see if I can find them. Thanks for the tip! I was like how has this not been done before? I know it's a lot of research and time to put it all together but I feel like tougher ROMs have been created.

I'm leaning very heavily towards having players on a single team so I will be coming to you guys(the community) on which team these particular players should be placed on(i.e. Gretzky probably on EDM and not LAK). The small percentage of me fighting this are guys like Messier on EDM and also how important he was winning a Cup on NYR and LaFontaine on NYI winning those Cups and then him being on BUF. My thought is this would not necessarily be based on Stanley Cups, individual awards and all-star selections but also the importance for the team to be placed on. I'm hoping to have a rough draft roster list for each team within the next week or two. I'm putting in TONS of research to get these lists. Trying to balance the teams with players from various eras. Once I get a more well-rounded roster list I will begin working on player attributes. Even though I'd like to keep guys like Probie on the Wings I don't see it happening especially for an original 6 team that is stacked with legends throughout the franchise's history. Edit: Also, I will be sharing my Google Sheet containing the rough draft roster lists when it's ready.

LMAO this is awesome!

Yep they'll be in there for sure.

I may do just that! Thanks for the tip!

I was thinking for my first ROM I wanted to make an all-time legends team for every franchise starting with the Bruins and Red Wings-my two favorite teams growing up. I have a pretty good list for those two teams to start with and I know teams like the Canadiens will be easy to gather legends but tougher to exclude some players. It's mainly going to be roster and line adjustments. At this time I don't think I'm going to mess around with logos and stuff but that could certainly change as I go. My dilemma is going to be adjusting the attributes for each player. That's going to be the tougher part. I don't have an ETA on this ROM but now that I have the working tools in terms of the roster import tool as well as the ROM editor itself to adjust the lines I'm going to tinker over the next few weeks/months and come up with something that could be pretty cool. Because most of the legends are already retired I shouldn't have to worry about too many roster updates once completed. Once I have gathered legends for each franchise I will post a spreadsheet here for you guys to provide any input or feedback. Obviously there will be varying opinions of who to include and who to remove but most should be unanimous. Once I have a finalized list that I'm content with I will try my best to adjust the attributes to what I feel are accurate. However once again I'll provide a spreadsheet containing the attributes to see if I'm way off or close enough. Anyways, a nice project to look forward to. Any questions about my plan or any advice please let me know. Check back here in at least a few weeks as I will try to check in every so often with my progress. **Edit 1/22/21 Everything is done. I just need to play around see if I need to adjust any attributes or find any bugs. I may or may not spend some time next week on jersey colors. I'm not sure how to change any menus or player pictures so I will probably skip both of those. I will be testing all of next week with a release of hopefully Friday 1/29. Stay tuned! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Edit 10/23 ROSTERS ARE SET! Let me know what you think. Please check the link below to review: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14NztfnlOUHAk47gv4G4O4U0VSjgArF4p/view?usp=sharing I will be working on attributes as my next step. I'm hoping I can complete them by the end of the calendar year using @CoachMac's rating system as a base. Once that's done I will probably publish the ROM. I haven't explored GENS ROM hacks quite yet but if it's not rocket science I will probably publish a GENS ROM too. I probably won't want to spend time with jersey colors or logos unless someone else wants to after the fact. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Edit 7/27: Adding this here as opposed to a separate thread post for better visibility on updates.** ROUGH DRAFT ROSTER LISTS ARE DONE! Please provide feedback so I can finalize the rosters by the end of this upcoming weekend hopefully. Then I can begin working on the player attributes and lines. If any of you know of another bud on here that specializes in certain teams please let me know and I can reach out to them for feedback. I have separated each team into its own tab in the Google Workbook for you guys to agree/disagree with what I have so far. Please provide feedback on any changes or even lineups. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16BEEwdQupRDICQZ5zShdYsrbo6_wKiW-twWKhDBQ_tc/edit?usp=sharing Ignore the color coding. That's just for me after I finalize the rosters and color code the lines. However the yellow highlighted cells are where I need some help determining which team the player should be placed on.

Okay so I figured it out. The file name is case sensitive. I was using a file named NHL94.smc which didn't work correctly or at all. I then used nhl94.smc and it works fine. Just wanted to share in case anyone else just starting out with editing had issues.

I was finally able to run it on my personal PC as my work PC kept deleting the files. However after opening the basic 94 ROM and clicking on Edit Teams is it supposed to look like this: Also when I click on Edit Lines I get this error: I Googled what a 380 error was: Runtime Error 380 is simply a code that tells you a certain link in the chain is damaged or corrupted, unable to complete the commands that would allow whatever it is you are trying to do to load. In this case, it is usually a problem with root names and corruptions/problems within the Visual Basics directory. Could it be that it's just a really old tool that may no longer work?

Sounds good, thanks man! I have the #1 pick for the SNES Classic B league and trying to cram a bunch of research and test games in today! I'm normally Boston as a homer and I know you play as them a lot.

@Bob Kudelski Was there ever a forward ranking for SNES? I've looked around in the forums and haven't found anything. I know AJ's lines is awesome, especially the CB check section, but it doesn't consider puck carrying since there's no weight bug in SNES. Does this mean fatties in SNES are slower to accelerate than Gens? No love for SNES.

I haven't tried Bluetooth but I've read in numerous reviews that there's noticeable lag and to avoid it.

Is there any update on this tool? I'm not able to run it on Windows 10. The roster tool works great but I believe I need to adjust lines using the SNES editor tool right?

This is such a cool idea and it’s been a lot of fun despite getting smoked by a lot of you guys. I hope someday this can be done on SNES as I mostly play on that. The players would need to be shuffled around a bit on the spreadsheet due to not having the weight bug. @Mike Gartner how did you determine the rating adjustments? I’d like to work on this myself someday as a rough draft before possibly setting up a league for it but I know almost nothing about ROM customization and it’s tough finding time to tinker with a toddler around 24/7 lol.

I haven’t even thought about looking at this section. New rabbit hole for me! I downloaded some CD games yesterday and almost all of them are god awful. I was looking to buy a Sega CD model 2 but after playing those games it’s just not with the $150 investment. It would be cool if someone brought one to a live event to play a few games. It would be cool to have custom MP3’s in the game like Kernkraft 400 when the Bruins score at home. When I tried to assemble the game using the files(including audio files) from this site and with using sega cue maker I just couldn’t get the music to work in the game. I tried several forums on various sites but ended up saying F it and just downloaded a complete cue/bin from another site and the music finally worked. My time to tinker has been shortened after having a kid last year lol.

We could always run a classic once a year or something. Not sure how difficult it would be to upload states for league stats versus genesis. I’m still very new to everything and trying to gobble up as much info from these forums as I can. I will say the shot sound is a little weird for sure. I do like the crowd noise when they’re not booing or cheering. It reminds me of a real crowd at a game.
