I think Al MacInnis has a 6/1 shot pwr/acc?

I'd also note that if there were injuries where the player missed a significant amount of time in a season, their attributes were not affected. Cam Neely played like 10 games a season throughout the 90s and his attributes barely changed each year. 91-92: 9 GP, 9 G, 30% SPCT 92-93: 13 GP, 11 G, 24.4% SPCT How can you judge a guy on 9 and 13 GP?

Kirk Muller is 4s across the board. There are 5 players with 6 Shot Accuracy: - 4 of them (Mario, Lindros, Khristich, Robitaille) have 4 Shot Power. - 1 of them (Petr Nedved) has 2 Shot Power.

Below is the draft order for C league. You will be choosing from the drafted teams in the CDL S2 ROM. To look at the rosters, you can use the google doc that @kidswasted made: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XnW7ehvP7k5NqCjlQekoWApDZROkdyuNx_6MqIAssWg/edit#gid=1436647210 Become familiar with a few teams, so when it is your turn to draft, you have a list of teams you prefer. I will officially start the draft on Friday, March 19th, but you guys can start drafting before that (deadlines won't take effect until March 19th). The ROM can be downloaded from the Discord channel in the Pins. I'd link it here, but it might change, and the newest version would be linked in the channel. The draft list was randomly generated: @INDIO @niuhuskie224 @SlapshotSean @boehm23 @Joe H @kidswasted @Raidercanuck1329 @Heinz57 @dmm1000 @jay22 @Logans Legends @jcariello @Triple A Post your picks in Discord.

Team: Calgary Flames LW: Wayne Gretzky C: Cam Neely RW: Pat Verbeek LD: Jamie Macoun RD: Teppo Numminen G: Patrick Roy 3D: Kevin Dahl Extra: Craig Janney Change Doug Bodger from #8 to #3

Guys, you won't be selecting teams right now. Once the Season 2 draft is over, then I will announce a C draft where you will pick from the drafted teams.

Yeah gonna just use the same rom so team and roster unfortunately

I'm not sure if you understand, you're gonna have to wait until the Season 2 A/B draft before you can choose a team. Or maybe, I can make this based on Season 1 teams?

CDL Season 2 C League Signups CDL (Chaos Draft League) is a player draft league with the following: boosted Goalie stats (+1 to each Glove/Stick and +1 to Agl to all goalies except Roy and Balfour) shorter Goalie switch time (less time holding the B button to switch) farther Goalie range (can move farther out than vanilla 94 ROM) 1 min Penalties Warm/Cool player bonus (a weaker version of Hot/Cold). No Team Bonuses (Home/Away PP/PK all set to 0) Player Body Checks For/Against counted, as well as a +/- Stat I'd like to start a C league which would be used like a Farm league. Instead of a "Waiting List" for B league, you would be entered into the C league and would either be promoted at the end of the season to B, or used as a replacement coach during the season. C league coaches would not participate in the draft, but a team selection draft will be held. After the A/B player draft is over, the C coaches will pick from the pre-drafted teams from A and B leagues. They will play a regular season with them, along with a playoff. The C league champ and the next best coach based on reg. season record will be promoted to B league for the next season, while the bottom 2 coaches from B will be relegated to C league. Also, if there are any drops from B league between seasons, a coach from C league will be asked to fill in the spot. What I hope to do is interest newer players (C level and lower B level Classic league players) in draft leagues. Learning how to draft a team can be a process, and trying to find players who best fit your type of play can be hard, apart from the superstars. By using a pre-drafted team, you can get more exposure to other players, and find some you would like to draft once you join B league. The season length will depend on the number of players. I don't expect it to be more than 40 games. I will allow up to 20 sign-ups this time around. Coach List: - @kidswasted (from CDL S1) - @Raidercanuck1329 (from CDL S1) - @SlapshotSean (from CDL S1) - Joe H - Triple A - Logan's Legends - whalersmightwin (jay22) - dmm1000 - boehm23 - jcarriello - INDIO - niuhuskie224 - Heinz

Yeah, once I get an idea on who's playing, you can do that if you like.

CDL Season 2 I plan on starting this up as soon as CDL Season 1 finals are over. Relegation and Promotion As was discussed at the beginning of Season 1, the bottom 2 teams in A will move down to B, and the B champion and team with the best regular season record during the season will move to A (if it happens that the best team won the championship (like they did in this case, then the second best team in the regular season will move up). This depends on who is returning, but as of right now: Moving to B - @kazelegend and @sheehy (mikegartner22 and dantml were replacement coaches, and since they played with teams they didn't draft, are exempt. Dantml will be in B anyway. Moving to A - @sonoffett87 and @Mitch Kramer (Chris O) Again, this could change, depending on who is returning, signing up, etc. There could be more movement. Expanding Sign-ups In the past it always seemed hard to get into a draft league, mostly due to carry over of coaches. While classic is fun in a way, draft leagues are definitely more fun. But, it can be daunting for a new guy, knowing who to draft when, and how to draft a team to your strengths. A long time ago, when Blitz was running, @smozoma wanted to implement a kind of "farm" league, where instead of going through the draft process, a new coach can choose a pre-drafted team and use them for a season. At the time, I thought this was a great idea, though I think it only went on for a season? So, I'd like to add a C league. A and B leagues will be 12 teams each, and will participate in the CDL Draft. C league coaches will have a team selection draft, once the draft is over. This will not hold up the A and B regular season - I'd like to make that clear. I will limit C league teams to 16. Also, there will be promotion and relegation. The lower 2 teams in B will drop to C, and the C league champ and top team in C will move into B and join the draft the following season. I'd like to see how this rolls out and decide after the season if it should continue or not. Draft News Once CDL 1 ends, and signups are all done (1 week for A and B signups, or until we are filled up), I will post the draft order. The draft order will use the previous season's record as a base. The A champ will pick last in the list, the B champ will pick 18th, and the 2nd promoted player from B will pick 15th. The 2 teams from A that were relegated will pick 16th and 17th. The rest of the selections will go by winning pct from CDL 1, regardless of A or B league. Note, there is currently a vacant A league team. The coach taking over that team will pick 19th. I plan on doing a live draft for the first 5 rounds. The time will be announced at least a week ahead of time. We can do a zoom meeting, or a Discord audio chat or something, I'll figure this out. 2 minute limits on picks during the live stream. If you cant make it or need to step out, leave a pick list or a phone number and I'll text you, if deadline passes, you get best available, depending on position of need. If we get through it quick, we can continue picking. After the live stream, draft will continue on Discord. I don't want the stream to last more than 2 hours though. League Info From feedback, it seems most had fun with the ROM. For the most part, the ROM will not change: - 5 min periods, 10 min OT, 1 min Penalties - Quicker control and longer range of Goalie - Goalie stat boosts (+1 to agl, +1 to each Stk/Glv attribute, excluding Roy and Belfour) - 0 Team Bonuses and PP/PK bonus I will add a small Home Team Bonus in the Playoff ROM only, to make home ice a little more meaningful. There will be no negative bonus for the Away Team, though. Static vs. Hot/Cold: Answer the poll on this. - Static ROM (no hot/cold to player attributes) was used in CDL 1. This means there were no changes game to game to player attributes, they were always the same. - Hot/Cold - similar to how it is in Classic. Though, I would reduce the effect. A player can be hot or cold on all its skill attributes and this can change from game to game. Classic has 5 different levels of hot/cold, 3 cold (very cold, mild cold, cool), and 2 hot (warm, and mild hot), that the game chooses randomly each game per player. I would reduce this effect to 1 cold and 1 hot (cool and warm). So, there would be a 60% chance there would be no bonus, 20% they would be cool, 20% they would be warm. You will be able to tell this by looking at the Edit Lines screen and checking attributes (hack would be done to make sure they are accurately displayed, unlike classic). This just gives some kind of "real-life" effect to the game. Let me know if you are returning or not, make a vote, and also include a good time for draft stream (evening, weekend, etc). I'll take this into consideration. Also, next season and every season after that, no more changes to the ROM.

did you look at this? - Gives you a starting point to look for the logos.

Let me know what topic it is, I can pin it to the top of the nhl95 section

Love the graphics job Raph! Didn't even notice the CDL zamboni or the CDL logo on ice, gonna have to look for that!

This season will have 24 teams. League is split into 2 sub-leagues, A and B. The season will be 44 games long (4 against each opponent), followed by the playoffs, which will be the top 8 PTS leaders in each league, seeded by Win %. Points is standard 94 - 2 points for a W, 1 point for a T. OT will be standard 10 min.

PP/PK Bonus This game took place between LA and BOS (LA was Home). I watched the centers this time (Gretzky and Oates). I should have swapped players, since these 2 have maxed values for some of their attributes, but you can still see the change in ShA here. The first shot was taken at the START of the PP. The second at the next faceoff (during PP for LA). LA is Home (Gretzky) and Away is BOS (Oates). If you look at "Away C[6]" this is ShA for Oates. His ShA goes from 15 (or 21 decimal) to 13 (or 19 decimal), or a -2 drop. Remember these stats are on a 0-30 decimal scale, not 0-100, so a small difference matters. Gretzky on the other hand, his "Home C[6]" value ShA goes from 0C (or 13 decimal) to 0E (or 15 decimal). He gets a +2 bump. The PP/PK byte for BOS is 21, for LA is 12. But you can see here, the PP bonus for LA is clearly +2 (or the second digit), and for BOS is -2 (or the first digit). This is confirmed in looking at the code as well. Might be easier to look at this. Note Gretzky misses out on some PP bonuses because he's already maxed out at Passing and StH: 1st Period FO PP - 2nd Faceoff 1st Period FO PK - 2nd Faceoff Attribute (in Hex) Gretzky - C Gretzky - C Oates - C Oates - C Wgt 20 20 38 38 Agl 1E 1E 1B 1B Spd 15 15 16 16 OfA 08 08 08 08 DfA 09 09 08 08 ShP 0B 0B 11 11 ShA 0C 0E 15 13 Pas 1E 1E 1D 1D JNo 99 99 12 12 Rgh 01 01 02 02 StH 1E 1E 1A 18 End 1E 1E 1B 1B Agg 01 01 07 07 Fight 02 02 00 00 Chk 0B 0B 11 11

COMEBACK BONUS Here's an example of the comeback bonus. This game featured CHI at LA. I watched the attributes for both RW (Larmer and Sandstrom). I recorded what their attribute values were at the start of the 1st period. This would include the hot/cold bonuses and the Team Home/Away Bonuses. Then, I recorded the value at the start of the 3rd period. LA was leading at this point, 3-2. CHI was given the comeback bonus at this point. Note the values in BOLD. 1st Period FO 3rd Period FO 1st Period FO 3rd Period FO Attribute (in Hex) Sandstrom - RW Sandstrom - RW Larmer - RW Larmer - RW Wgt 48 48 38 38 Agl 12 12 15 15 Spd 12 12 15 15 OfA 09 09 0A 09 DfA 0B 0B 08 08 ShP 17 17 15 15 ShA 18 18 14 14 Pas 0E 0E 14 14 JNo 07 07 28 28 Rgh 08 08 10 14 StH 13 13 14 14 End 0D 0D 1E 1E Agg 0D 0D 0B 0B Fight 08 08 04 04 Chk 0D 0D 15 17 As you can see, Larmer got a boost in OfA (remember, lower is better for this), Rgh, and Chk. These values are in Hex, so the 14 in Rgh equates to 20 in decimal (30 would be the max, or 1E in hex). Above is a screenshot of the same game, tied at 4-4 with 4:22 left in the 3rd period. Both players receive the comeback bonus. Sandstrom is Home, Larmer is Away. Sandstroms OfA went from 09 to 08, Rgh from 08 to 0C (an increase of 4, from 8 decimal to 12), and Chk went from 0D to 0F (increase of 2, from 13 decimal to 15). Example showing how the Comeback bonus disappears with a faceoff with under 2:30 left (this one was 1:40 left). First screenshot is start of 3rd, LA (Home) playing CHI (Away), LA down 4-0, second is at a faceoff with 1:40 left: You can see how the values for Rgh and Chk are lower in the second shot (0E to 0A, 14 decimal to 10, and 11 to 0F, or 17 to 15).
