I actually like him better than Chevy for Detroit

Buffalo and Detroit then Vancouver Speed and shot power. I prefer a decent goalie but that is less important than the speed factor.

You could set it up the same way these guys do for their NHL 95 tournaments they play. http://www.theunholygrail.com/rules/index.html

Gotcha. I know the odds of 90% of what I suggested actually happening are slim and none, its fun just to think of what ifs though. Its also good to add a poll to this if we can to see who among us would want anything suggested done. Another quick suggestion for the game would be to add a radar gun feature to see how hard a shot was during the game. Would be neat to see when the PC goes into their score or die mode if they are shooting harder than usual.

What I said was there could be 2 modes of play, one a simulation A.K.A. NHL 94, the other mode could be arcade cartoon mode that is like games that have lots of replay value even if they arent an acurate simulation, like Super Mario Kart. Ideas are just that, ideas. I think of any way to improve the game and throw it out there, either you like it or you dont. Either way it makes you think one way or the other and isnt that what we want from this topic?

More ideas..... 1. A game option where you can play regular games either either standard, 4 on 4 or 3 on 3 2. Combine lots of great things from NBA jam, Baseball simulator 1000, and Arch Rivals and have a mode that lets you chose either a the regular simulation that is 94 as we know it, or have an arcade mode where people punch each other instead of cross check, or get on hot and cold streaks that dont last the entire game. It could have super saves if the goalie is hot, and regular players could have all their abilities increased or decreased by as much as 10 points. Their star could be bright if they were hot or barely colored at all if they were cold. It could also have a points system like baseball simulator 1000 that you use up during the game trying to go for super shots or super saves. It would be great to do a super save when the other team has a break away at the end of a game and you are only up by one. 3. The ability to have a brawl. Not just regular fighting, but entire teams fighting on the ice, including the goalies, especially during a physical game. Not too often though, maybe only as often as you break the glass. More to come...

Another idea would be to do a genesis classics release of all games in that series on the Playstation or Xbox. EA classics: NHL 92-98 with an updated roster for each version of the game. Charge 19.95 without doing much to the gameplay other than adding a season, create a player, fighting and blood and you could play it online. Seems good enough to me. Other companies are doing it to.

I have always thought a few things would improve the gameplay 1. Pressing A on defense would let you lay down to block a shot (similar to NHL 95). 2. If there is traffic in front of the net, I would like to shoot a soft shot and have the ability to redirect it with someone in front of the net - like a one timer (either with a computer controlled player or manually) 3. I wish you could intentionally screen the goalie. Even though you might be able to see the shot and control the goalie to stop it, I would like it if the goalie sometimes never sees a shot if he was well screened. It would add another demension to the game and another reason to take the goalie (perhaps you could press and hold one of the unused buttons on the 6 button controller to be able to sidestep and stay in that little area in front of the goalie with much better control). 4. On defense while near the boards, press and hold C or one of the unused buttons on a 6 button controller to harass the person. Basically just pinning the person to the boards and sticking on them like glue unless they put a hell of a move on you to get away. It would force someone to pass it in that situation and not just use a superstar that is hard to bring down. It would be similar to holding with the A button but more about pinning the other person to the boards without knocking them down. Im sure I can add to this but thats it for now

I guess I missed the drama
