    matthewsvsmcdavid.jpg?w=740

    Go get the latest version of the 2KHS modern roster addon NHL2K20 that was released today 2020-07-31, just in time for the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs that start tomorrow. Get it from http://playnhl.tk or http://playnhltk.wordpress.com

    This version is directly compatible with the latest 2KHS 0.8 by DJNEO.

    This is the most massive roster update ever for a NHL2K hockey game. You can now play full franchise mode based on the 19/20 season with minor team affiliates and only real active players.

    A lot of work has been put into finding formulas that can create attributes for players based on statistical real life performance.

    It includes:

    • Update based on 2KHS 0.8
    • Full trade deadline roster
    • Roster fully converted, includes changes also to AHL teams
    • Contracts are correct, even with RFA/UFA status
    • Most player attributes are based on advanced formulas for calculating attributes from statistics and depth charts for each team
    • Attributes are tweaked to achieve realistic simulation results in franchise mode
    • Goalkeepers and settings tweaked to make up for weak goalies in 2KHS 0.8
    • Rebased entire roster on fresh save game
    • Adjusted birth dates to achieve real ages for franchise mode
    • Adjusted rosters and salaries to work with cap limit in franchise mode
    • All Vegas players available on free transfer
    • National teams are updated with current players

    I had Intel 486/66Mhz processor on my PC when NHLPA Hockey and NHL95 came out for PC. Then NHL96 released for PC and Finnish game magazine wrote something like this: "NHL96 is here and PC gamers have to update their computers". Well, that was exactly what happened to me. I tried to play NHL96 with my old PC, but after few days I went to computer store and got a new PC with Pentium processor and better graphics card. :) 

    It was NHL Hockey not NHLPA Hockey. NHLPA '93 was the previous generation on SEGA/SNES.

    I loved NHL Hockey so much. I liked it more than NHL95 that came the year after. The games were more high scoring in NHL Hockey, the goalies were boosted in the NHL95 version so much that the computer could hardly score a goal so that ruined the game a bit for me even though it had better presentation.

    I remember figuring out I could mod and create new players so I traded and created current rosters. I remember season playing Blues with Gretzky and Hull for instance...

    Also NHL94/NHL Hockey was based on the magical 92/93 season. How many teams did not get all time scoring records that year? But it missed the new teams from the next year that the console versions had though.

    I had a Pentium 100MHz if I remember correctly. I also played NHL96 on it quite a lot. A game that definitely don't hold up as good today imo as NHL Hockey and NHL95 does.

  3. Gretzky no doubt.

    His playoff stats should have boosted him. He should have been on a level closer to Lemieux but as it was he was weak in the game.

    You didn't even want him at center due to his shooting limitations. Sometimes you would even not have him on the first line due to his limitations and that strong passers not getting much rewarded for that attribute compared to shooters.

    Look at his playoff stats that same year. He took LA to the Stanley Cup final scoring 15 goals 25 assists 40 points in 24 games. Shooting percentage of over 19%. Scored most points of the playoffs. Yes, he was hosed. Gretzky was still Gretzky back then and it is not reflected in the game.

           
  4. NHL2K20 v200220 has been released. Grab a copy at http://PlayNHL.TK!


    Some of the new features are:
    Finished all trades up until 2020-02-20.
    New profile images for Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser.
    New beards for Joe Thornton and Brent Burns.
    New Hotkeys.ini included so that pause-button on USB-controller will create save state.
    Updated sticks of skaters and goalies, no more skaters with goalie sticks and vice versa.
    Improved board commercial size.
    Renamed Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg Jets.
    Renamed Phoenix Coyotes to Arizona Coyotes.
    Updated all AHL affiliate team names.

  5. You know what, I think I'd rather put the one-timer in the NHLPA93 rom than fighting in the NHL94 rom. I've always liked the fact that there seemed to be more ways to score on '93. It was easier to score blue line slapshots, putting the puck between the legs with standard shots etc. A lot of these goals were kind of balanced ut on '94 probably to make the game a little more challenging and keep the scoring down which made that game a lot about setting up the one-timer and scoring with the deke move. I love both games, '94 is the classic one, but the one-timer and deke (if you avoid the cheap cross crease goal) are the situations you will want to setup since they are so much more effective than other ways to score. If you're up against a good opponent it is important to get quality chances and not give the puck up too easily and taking a good old slapper in NHL94 can pretty much be a wasted opportunity. On '93 this wasn't as much the case.

    To be honest, what exactly is needed to run 2KHS is still confusing to me. I have no clue how to run it, what I need and why it takes such a powerful computer. Plus it seems like this interminable project that is never ready. There's a download, there isn't a download, it's a beta, it isn't ready, it is ready.. .you know?

    I think you should look at it as an ongoing project for DJNEO. I think he has a vision/goal of what he wants it to be when it is ready (he can call it 1.0 I guess), but as he is working he learns more and the project expands. It will probably be a "never ending project", but he releases the "WIP". DJNEO have made a new release like once a year or something like that. I have managed to "catch" the last two (0.5 before it went offline and 0.7). Version 0.7.2 is online as we speak and available from his facebook page that you can find via link from http://PlayNHL.TK. Each release is perfectly playable (with some bugs though). Using the NHL2K20 roster you can even play franchise or season if you want.

    The reason why it needs a powerful computer is because it is a mod using an emulator to run the actual game. Emulators emulate also the hardware that a game runs on, which means that it has to carry out hardware tasks in software on top of running the actual game, that is why a much better CPU is needed than what is being emulated. On top of this DJNEO added improvements to the game like always running in 60fps, animated crowd and benches etc that have also increased the need for a powerful CPU. So the game is CPU clock speed hungry, that is the most important computer spec.

  7. I think you know about this already, but thought I'd put a link here anyway for others surfing in. It is not EA, but you can check http://PlayNHL.TK for a current roster (19/20) for NHL2K11, the last console hockey game by 2K. The NHL2K11 game has been improved by DJNEO, he released a mod called 2KHS for it. Those of you that haven't seen it check it out because it is an insane project.

    It's time to...
    Play NHL Two K!


    Get the latest NHL2K20 roster for use with 2KHS by DJNEO at http://PlayNHL.TK
    http://PlayNHLtk.wordpress.com




    The roster based on the NHL 19/20 season is an update on the previously released NHL2K19 roster. It has been updated with NHL20 attributes from HUTDB and attributes calculated with a formula from real season player statistics. This work was done much with the help of the NHL2K editor originally developed by snowdrift and the improvements I managed to add to it.


    So what are you waiting for? Install 2KHS 0.7.2, get the NHL2K20 roster and go...


    Play NHL Two K!

    Glad to see you guys enjoyed and still continue to enjoy the 2K games. I had a blast working on some of them and miss that experience.

    Lol. After reading another topic I now realize what you meant by "working on some of them"... I thought you meant you did unofficial roster updates and stuff like that but you actually worked for 2K. I hope you get the chance to try 2KHS and my modern roster.

    I had a blast with those old school rosters and figuring out who was who and changing names of the players.

    Always brutally missed those 94 rosters in the newer games, lol.

  10. I did re-upload the mod, but the distributor I use has a one week timeout. The 2KHS mod is released by DJNEO and he has chosen for some reason to not upload it to a persistent server. He says the next release will be this fall.

    As I said earlier I would re-up and I did, also posted about the treat in this thread. If you did not get it this time keep checking in on playnhl.tk and it might get available again.

    The NHL2K19 roster add on is compatible with NHL2K11 so you can add it to vanilla NHL2K11 aswell.
