Lou Is God

Well, my "team" is Calgary.. I have a hard time scoring with NJ sometimes.. they feel a bit lathargic when I play with them. But right now I play as Tampa, what a challenge it's been.. they can surprise a lot of people sometimes. I believe I'm 18-20 and man, some of the players in this league make you work real hard for some of these wins, some real great talent out there. BTW... don't confuse me with the moderator, LouIsGod.. I'm a different guy but come from the same place, opinion wise PS.. I saw the name, Moneyp..and thought hmmm maybe it's the dude from hfboards and then after I read your post it was clear to me it was you. I always stopped to read your posts as they were always clear, concise and insightful. PPS.... Who's winning the cup this year?

Money, great post.. you're on the hfboards.com forum, right? " Playing a game with Washington isn't the same as playing a game with Detroit. And some of my friends have even figured out a way to use fighting as a weapon. It's a huge boost to remove a certain key player for the length of a period (in five minute games) with your otherwise-wortheless goon. " -This would be true in a standard no line changes game but in a game with line changes on each team definitely has their own character and feel. "I prefer NHLPA '93 and it's not even close. The one-timer, to me, leads to a homogeny of scoring, as players wind up relying on it to an extreme extent. If you play NHLPA '93 with a player of relatively equal skill, you're forced to be creative on offense and defense, rather than just lining up one-timers from between the circles, which go in half the time. " -Okay, I'd agree with you here if there weren't ways to stop this "homogeny" of scoring. Play me one time and I'll stop all those silly one timers with manual goalie. As a matter of fact.. you should probably play in our league and you'll find the plethora of ways to score and how to counteract the "usual" one timer setup. Also, not being creative on offense is not a result of the game but a result of how the end user is playing the game. If I'm playing someone who knows how to stop certain one timers and slap shots, i have to adjust my style to wrist shots, hoping for a rebound and quick put in...

NHL94 has the nostalgia, the flow, the feel, the sounds, the moves, the one timers, the character.... Yes, it's missing blood and fighting and i do miss the fighting - but ask yourself, is that what makes a game? Is that makes a game a great game? In my opinion, 94 is hands down the best hockey game ever released and probably forever.

It's great hearing other stories about NHL94, especially people from another continent.

Your face

The best way to get started is to turn your caps lock key off. <.>

I'm confused here, how else do you suggest people score? I think the only method you left out was a break away. Any good player who understands how to use manual goalie will negate 90% of these methods, especially the worst move, cutting across the crease - which I absolutely despise.

Not for nothing, but who the hell has a computer and doesn't use some sort of messaging? It's 2006, come back to reality please. My mom freaking uses it.

Once again it proves which console the hardcore, serious NHL94 dudes use

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read on these forums!

twenty-four

Now the real question is, with this data that you've collected do you think enabling fighting in '94 has become a little more clear now?

Terry Yake, hands down is the best player in the game No, seriously.
