  1. Where did all these SNES guys come from? :D I've got a friend that's a programming wizard and "we" began work on an editor during a weekend around Christmas, and it was just amazing watching how easy he made it look. But I rarely see him and now he moved even further away so there won't be any progress there (he's not into NHL 94, so he won't be doing anything about it and I don't know enough). A draft league wouldn't be hard, only time consuming.

  2. Graphics are compressed in SNES NHL '94 and I have no idea how to decompress them or anything like that, so there's really no way to get it to look right. And I've fiddled around to try and "add" another team, but that's just way out of my league. We need to clone wboy and program the clone to like SNES NHL '94. I just don't see either graphics hacks or team adding happening. Sorry.

  3. I'm no SNES guy but i thought the shoulder buttons had something to do with taking control of a dman or skating backwards?

    Correct. L and R selects either Left or Right defender (when def. control is enabled). Other than that a player skates "backwards" when he crosses his own blue line and the puck is in another zone, right?

    If you suspect cheating or something, just press F2 to save a state so you could view the replay later on or post it on youtube or whatever. :) I don't think he's cheating though, sounds... Normal?

  4. What about a ROM where all the teams are the same, BUT they are comprised of players with varying attributes. Like NES Ice Hockey. The slow checker who can shoot, the speedy passer/deker with a weak shot who's easy to knock over, and the medium guy! Then everyone can choose the guys they want.

    Hahaha.. What a cool idea! :D Ice Hockey rules! Might be fun to try and make something like that...

    Wow.. *brain storming* Got a bunch of ideas from that..

    That would be totally bitchin! Gotta try that out some day! <_<

  5. Yeah I've stumbled across it a couple of times, I don't recall if I ever tried it, I think I did once.. Doesn't really appeal to me. I've been searching for freeware:ish hockey game now and then on the web but can't really seem to find anything.. It's just a bunch of "air hockey" and soccer like penalty shots. There's nothing in between the rather poor games and the commercial ones. Most other game genres has plenty of great, cool and fun freeware games, but with hockey it's slim pickings.

    I mean it shouldn't be THAT hard to create a game like Blades of Steel or something like that nowadays.. Or is there something super advanced about hockey? But then again, I guess there aren't too many soccer games either that's created by regular people.

    There was a Swedish site called hockeychallenge.se that actually had an online 3D hockey game, with league play, tournaments and different divisions. That last part was really cool. If you played against people with higher rank than you and won, you got more points and such. I think there were 3-4 divisions: Rookie, Pro, Super/special and something in between.. You had to pay about $3 each month to play though. But it had fairly decent graphics and physics, considering it was a shockwave game. Oh yeah, now that I think about it, I think both your team and your players developed and got better the more you played. It was pretty advanced. But it died and just went up in air.

  6. Same goes for SNES.. A one-timer does not count as a connected pass. I've got a friend I play NHL 94 with rather regularly and I tend to get like 45-60% most of the time (but then again, I shoot quite a lot of one-timers). I feel the Genesis has better puck physics, a bit more advanced. More common to get redirections and stuff like that.

  7. Haha.. Well.. I wonder if it would be possible to hack the game to have the extra attacker always being on the ice. I mean... It should be possible, whilst keeping the goalie of course. That would be 7 on 7, right? :P That Tony guy that helped wboy and folks to find some cool hacks for Genesis would probably be able to do something about it. :lol:

  8. Mats to Team Sweden of America (aka Detroit) :P Question is though... If he could be expected to play on the second line.. :) He has made it pretty clear that he wants to stay in Toronto "no matter what" from what I understand.

    Forsberg, if he'll ever well get healthy again would probably go to Vancouver to his mate Näslund (I know they've wanted to play together for a long time).

  9. 11. If you get a delayed penalty shot and the period ends, the penalty shot wont be called until the next period starts, though as soon as the puck is dropped, the whistle sounds.

    I recall that's what happens anyway.. <_< Quite anoying.

    Haven't really had those things happen to me that you mention, Stefan.. Apart from the more common ones, like the "rifle" sound. B)

  10. I personally think the fighting in NHL 96 (Genesis) is the greatest.. When you drag the opponents jersey over his head and throws him to the ground and you can lay off a pair of punches.. That sound is just awesome! :D Not a particular fan of fighting in real life hockey, but in games it's cool. Unfortunately there aren't too many that manages to pull it of well.. I recall I liked the system they use in Hitz Pro (a random button appears that you have to hammer). Most of the EA games fail miserably though..

    A more controlled "flip-pass", fake shot, drop pass and a season mode and fighting of course, that would just be simply awesome. Oh and yeah, a difficulty setting. And one thing that's in particular for SNES: More slapshot goals! One thing that a game had (don't remember which one) was that, if you press and hold the pass button for a while, you would "lob pass", that was pretty nifty.

    Well, one can always dream. And to top it of they would of course have to do all 3 '94 versions. ^^

  11. Super Joybox 5 (usb-adapter) with Playstation 2 (Sony) controllers. :)

    Yeah the analog buttons do wear out, but they last for quite some time imo.. I've got a friend that has a pair of the Logitech PS2 look-a-likes and he pretty much hates them (compared to the real deal), but I haven't tried them, many seem to like 'em so I bet they're alright.

  12. My (personally) biggest blowout against an irl friend I play against regularly was a 8-0 victory where he only managed 2 (two!) shots on goal. And this is a guy that's pretty much as good as I am.. We tracked stats, and he was one goal behind "per game" and I recall I had like 60% wins.. So this was a huge win compared to how our games usually turns out.

    As far as beating the crap out of the AI goes... I've never really tried to get as many goals as possible, well sometimes of course, but most of the time I try only getting goals with slappers, one timers or flip-pass goals and such.

    5min, off, off.

    That's the best game I've had against the AI. I bet people has had way over 30 goals.. The funny thing is, I only got 3 goals (out of 4 shots) in the second period! Well, maybe not funny, weird mostly. Doesn't matter if I'm home or away, the 2nd is always my worst period..

  13. Why can't people just figure out how to use zbattle? It's not that I'm against Hamashi, I've used it a lot (with other games, faking LAN play over internet), but if you use it with zsnes you would still need to enter IP number, right? Yeah yeah, it doesn't take that long to enter an IP number, it's just that I still think zbattle is way easier
