Sega Genesis is still the best version. The extra video graphics and sounds on the Sega CD don't really make the gameplay any better.  Unfortunately the game slows down/lags for a split second, usually on a change of possession.   Happens a lot and it's awful. Second, it seems to me that EA reduced the effect of speed in this game -- fast guys don't have as big of a burst, breakaway speed. In addition, the CD reader (on the physical console) make some noises when loading a new crowd noise which is annoying. I was pretty disappointed in the CD version, I thought it would be Genesis with cooler sounds, but it's not as smooth!

Hmm I never realized they changed the behavior of the players... makes everything else moot

There are different things that can happen, and they are not mutually-exclusive.

1. It creates interest in 94. People google it and find the community. They play in leagues and come to tournaments and make ROMs. Big win!
2. People leave here to go play on their couch. Boo.
3. People who would never play here enjoy NHL94 on their couch and their big TV. Makes no difference to us.
4. EA's lawyers destroy us or hijack our sites and/or tournaments for infringing on a property they are now actively using.

So we hope the balance of 1 and 2 is in our favour and that 4 doesn't happen.

Exactly why I am here today. Thanks for this awesome site. Quick question why is there not as much love for the Sega CD version? I'm curious since it seems to be the deinfintive version of NHL '94. I did a search but I didn't see roster updates as much as I've seen with the Genesis and SNES ROMS. Just curious.
