    This is incredible! Thank you for this game that really brings me back and for the creativity involved.

    Two words: holy s**t. 

    This is incredible. Not only does it bring back childhood memories of Sega Genesis and the WWF, but your creativity is awesome. Thanks for this.

    I will go in and look at the list of wrestlers, that will be fun on it's own,  but is there a quicker way of seeing who you included - maybe a list?

    I had luck doing this by using the skin tone and the shadow color to make the line and dot so I could still use the team palettes, but I also did not put the lines *over* the logo just for aesthetic reasons. 
     

    So in my template it would be

    - center dot

    - logo

    - line underneath

    You're right, you did, and I missed it or forgot it from (apologies to anyone working hard) my favorite NHL94 ROM. @Sean did it. I take back my previous posts.

    Technically the center ice logo can be both rotated and have the line go through it, but the drawback there is that the logo ends up sharing space with the center line, which only uses half a tile, which will then lock in your colours to the same ones used by the rink as opposed to using the team colours. This was an example I made of this.

    Or the other options would mean having about a four pixel gap between the logo and the center line, or I think one of the original games used the face tone to fill in the middle part of the center line, but the shift in colour is very conspicuous and you're kind of better off without it.

    I completely understand now, thanks for the explaination. I can see sharing colors would throw off team colors/logos and that's not good.

    Thanks again. I wish the coloring worked, though, because you're example is 30 years coming and  looks great!

    Great work, all of you, and thank you for another fun cooperative ROM. The one thing that has always "bothered" me about EA NHL is the center ice logo. Nothing to do with anyone's incredible mod work here, but is there a way to make it look more true-to-form (I know rotating the logo has been done, but not rotating 90 degrees with the red/white center line going all the way through, etc. as it looks on TV)? Just going on this latest release, I added a picture (not the best angle) to clarify...

    Maybe the coding doesn't allow it? Either way, great and fun ROM!

    I can definitely say these 4 will be given preference because of the fact they play D-1 teams. I also like the idea of including the NE10 D2 teams (since they’re TECHNICALLY D1, just don’t compete for the Nat’l title), future teams like TSU, the NTDP teams, and USport teams that play a lot of D1 teams. 
     

    Did some graphics work last night, hopefully can get some good stuff done this weekend. 

    Whoa. I didn't expect the Northeat 10 to be mentioned. Honestly, I'm not going to complain about any additional team you include, it was just easy to say  the "24". I didn't do a deep dive into who plays who, like you (impressively) do.

    By what I'm reading, you could (and should?) just do a ACHA, the NE10, Development Program, etc. etc. on it's/their own.

    *** I would say, though, Adrian College won the 2024 tournament and was runner-up in 2023 to Minot. So, I'd personally vote for them. ***

    Thanks for responding.

    Is there any you’d specifically want to see? 

    As far as ACHA - I think the best way to do it (I don't know about easiest way), would be to just put the 24 teams that competed this year in the Murdoch Cup (ACHA D1 Championship). Then, put them in the nearest NCAA division to they're respective town/city. I haven't looked closely at all of the schools and if some areas of the US are more represented, but why not put the "best" 24 ACHA D1 in as extra teams to round out the conferences?

    Your thoughts?

    The 2024 ACHA Men's Division 1 Championship Field

    2. Adrian College

    In hindsight I wish I hadn’t taken the year off, but the modern NHL stuff was fun and a cool challenge. Might try and find a way to convert FHM10 rosters to NHL 94 rosters which would make doing a 23-24 roster super easy, and some guys would definitely make the all-time roster for their schools from this past season.

    I think this one is worth revisiting too, but don’t wanna get too ahead of myself yet. It would look great with the crowd/music updates, and and the sprite tweaks I made inspired by some of what Drezz did. 

    "Lofty goals" again? Fingers crossed. You can do it!

    * Remember the ACHA D1/2.

    This looks incredible, great work in progress!

    1. Have you seen (or tried, or speculated) if yearly roster updates are "easy" like the NHL94 roster updates?

    2. Did you list the devices on which this mod can be played? I looked through the posts and didn't see it, maybe I missed it. If so, I apologize... if not, can you list them, please?

    3. Great work! I'm really looking forward to this.  Thanks for another tease.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for checking in!

    I actually just got started again this weekend on the NHL Legacy mod project, and made some slight progress on another 94 ROM in the last few weeks (some tweaks to music, top-down planning, etc)

    For the latter, I think I will probably do something with alumni for the top 25 or so programs so it is more evergreen of a project, and doesn't need as much upkeep as 60+ teams of current players. Sadly, some of the smaller programs in conferences like the AHA or CCHA might get left out, but will satisfy the bulk of those who play my ROMs based on interactions I've had here and in a few scattered hockey discords - fans of super popular or traditional blue blood schools like Minnesota, North Dakota, BU, BC, UNH, Maine, etc.

    I wish I could deliver on the original plan... I set lots of lofty goals last summer... and probably shouldn't have.

     

    Thanks for the update! Just knowing you're slowly but surely making progress is good news. As far as your "lofty goals", hopefully one day that will happen. I have faith. I think to be honest, most of us can't name every player on 60+ college hovkey teams, so evergreen is just fine. Just having the NCAA version is a fun switch-up from 30+ years of NHL.

    Thanks again and keep us updated when you can.

    I really hate doing this, because this has the makings to be the best hockey rom ever. And I am a HUGE fan of your work.

    1. Do I only see one referee on ice? Maybe 2 refs still isn't possible?

    2. I like how the ref sits up on the side to get away from the puck/players... but maybe a little too often?

    I'll just leave it at that so I'm not saying anything is "wrong".

    Sorry for being computer chair QB. Thanks! I'll still play it as is, whatever the ref is or isn't doing.

    So this will mean:

    - authentic playoffs

    - better league focused presentation

    Are you, Sean, able to do conference tournamnets that don't include the "guest schools" you have included in each rom; select which teams can be and can't be in tounaments? I think it would be a little "strange" if the NCHC Tourney had Minot State in it. My opinion.

    It's sounding really, really good from what you've shared. More focus and customization on individual conferences is amazing, plus the actual 32 teams in the National Championship. Now hopefully an NHL95 like this will be close behind for regular season (you know who I'm talking to).

    Thanks!

    P.S. Was there/is there now any thought on a D3 college rom? You've gone this far in...
