It's not that hard to score. You can still use the across the crease technique to score. It's more like across the front of the goalie not the crease. One timers also work decently enough. Dekeing is quite harder now but better for it.

As far as changing the order of how the boxes fill up, they both have to be left to right in order to accommodate how the system draws the graphics in Rink view.
Adam, when a player gets a penalty it goes to the scoreboard view and you see a player skate to the penalty box. You can clearly see in the animation of the player getting into the penalty box that the legs won't align with the top part of their body. It's especially evident if the player goes to the left side penalty box.
-
So the only thing I noticed in 2.5 is when a player gets a penalty and they walk up to the penalty box, their legs don't align with the placement of their bodies once they enter the box. That issue is still there from the original game. Maybe the left box, the players can align from right to left and the right box from left to right.

Hey folks, new update is live! This is a roster and lines update for every single team, covering everything through the trade deadline. I hope you enjoy.
you're the best Adam. Thanks. A couple of things you forgot. In your wishlist: Make a Sega CD version. Or get the sega CD music to work on the genesis version. Isn't the SCD version the exact same game as nhl94 with added videos and better music, etc?

Update v2.3 on the main page. There were a litany of small errors as to how I rate defence man in the previous release (2.2). While I doubt anyone would notice, I pulled it regardless. Aside from the ratings fix, I also fixed a long-standing error I just found out about yesterday.
In other news, v3.0 is well in progress. I will be re-rating every single player from scratch, again, for the umpteenth time, as I've updated my gameplay model. Skating will be a bit slower. Overall slightly more realistic. If there is any interest, I may also bring back the "arcade mode" patch for those who want a less realistic more classic experience. Leave me a note if any variation patches interest you.
I dunno, I mean players skate pretty fast. How long does it take for the average player to skate length of the rink? Is it similar in '94 2024?
I also like big hits, I kind of miss them. But at the same time, the game now is kinda light on hits.

This has been completely insane. I’m seriously losing my mind trying to keep up, and refactor teams lines!
Take your time adam.
On another note, I just noticed the genesis wide mode patch for the NHL games. You know what I'm gonna ask
It would be sweeter than sweet.

Hi there @ttbarnum!
You can alway just dump the rosters & ratings with the Roster Tool found in this website. When I get home, I can DM you that CSV, just let me know if that’s what your looking for.
I hope you’ll come back to pick up the final refined ‘23 version when it’s ready! Will be released on the eve of the finals. Will be ant least one more interim version as well.
ROR is a leaf!

I had an idea. It's kind of ridiculous but as an added feature maybe add support for CD audio, whatever the equivalent is on genesis for MSU-1 support (MSU-MD?) so the CD audio tracks from NHL 94 on Sega CD can be used.
-
Amazing to see that you're back! Your rom hack is the new Gold standard! Incredible stuff.

Thank you @Stepher1980! Unfortunately, it will be my last one. I warned (in this very thread) that if people kept copy and pasting my original work into their own files (and then posting), I'd stop doing my ROMs. Well, apparently, someone wants to continue to do that and as such, I'm done. They steal from my "way too early" version, make a couple edits and think that isn't ripping me off. Sadly, they admitted to me in private that is exactly what they are doing. Well, now, they will have to do their own research/work. I will continue to make ROMs for a league that I play in but unfortunately, I will not be posting here anymore. One jerk-off had to ruin this despite me asking for them to stop.
There are some good folks on this forum and then there are some that are lazy and disrespectful to requests. I'm done asking.
Take care.Are you serious? Sure it sucks that people are doing it but that doesn't mean you should stop posting. It's not like you get paid to do it. Let it go. People in the community will generally know who the ripoffs are. A lot of people enjoy your rom every year and look forward to it. You're gonna take that away because of 1 person? That's ridiculous.

Sorry but that box cover looks horrible. The image is too thin. It's common sense to preserve aspect ratio of image.
-
Why are you calling it NHL '23? It should be called NHL 95 2023. It's still NHL 95 just updated.
-
Re: the regular version. I like that it's harder to score. At the same time it's very difficult to score off a deke now. 95% of my goals are from "across the crease". The AI can still be cheesed that way albiet to a lesser extent. I don't know if it's possible to do anything about that but if not, no worries.Never mind. I just played some more, it was just me. I got the hang of it now. All good.
-
Just tried the regular version and I think you got it. The penalties are much better now I think. It feels like the AI is improved vs 5.4, maybe it's just me. All in all it feels pretty good. Nice.
Trying to patch the arcade and rookie modes don't work. checksum mismatch.
-
I didn't even notice it was harder to score compared to the original when I tested it the other day. I just thought I was bad at the game, but in the original it's so much easier to score. Having said that I can still own the Ai 15+ to 0. lol but it's a great improvement.
-
I was always playing as the Leafs. I think it didn't matter what team I was against. Still a lot of penalties but I'll keep testing. I was playing for a while with Canadiens and it was a bit better. What I meant originally was ealistically the # of penalties, but maybe it's the same as the original now that I compare them side by side so whatever.
Crap I was just about to test the 5.5 beta again, but realized I deleted it some days ago..
-
It would be nice if the game pace was a bit faster than the original without increasing penalty rate, if that's possible. The original game is pretty slow compared with 95 and up. Maybe not to 95 speed but a slight increase would be nice.
-
On another note, is it possible to increase the speed at which this is emulated or something? It seems to run slower than I remember it or maybe it's just me. But it would be nice to speed up the game a bit.
-
ok fair enough
-
sure I can beta test it.
Is the ripple effect such a problem? Player stats should remain relatively constant I would think. Maybe sometimes a player went to sleep late or ate too much steak the day before but like you know a players stats are a players stats lol
-
Maybe reduce the amount of randomness?
-
In playing like ~10 games in a row I noticed there are too many penalties called. And it's just random. It's usually for something the AI did I think. Also injuries from a direct body check happen.. I wouldn't say frequently but 5-6 times in 10 games or something. Maybe that's how the original game is, I don't remember but it's just... not realistic. Then I get a penalty for kneeing... ok... otherwise good.
-
Honestly Jpark, that is such a minor thing.
Adam, I hope you make this an annual thing. Amazing job.

I have no idea about ASM or hex editing. I would suggest simply the most popular broadcaster. Even modern sports games the commentators aren't going to be regional for most people. But it's no big deal, anyways, your rom is looking to be on another level! And yes I will update the rom with the latest version. Oh, a question. Is it possible at all to have season mode in NHL 94 like in NHL 95? Maybe somehow port the season mode ASM from 95 to 94. I guess that requires a lot of knowledge and work.

I guess I should rephrase that. The animation is ok actually, I think it's just that where the player ends up sitting in that view compared to where he entered the penalty box is different. The player enters the box, animation runs, but then he magically appears to the side. It would be better if the player enters the box the same place he will sit.
