I wish I said A/B

EA Sports refers to this as the "Genesis Deke," as stated in a readme.txt in an NHL2000 patch many moons ago...

I played a 10-minute game WITH line changes and the NHL tough-guys ROM. The game had several fights, but in the second period there were two fights within 3 seconds of each other, and in the third period there were two fights within 4 seconds of each other. This was with line changes turned on.

If you're refering to the SEGA version... No even at "low" speed it is still faster; about the same speed as NHL '96. High speed mode is way too fast and I don't think I've tried that setting since I got the game for Christmas in '97. Otherwise, the game is almost identical to NHL '96 (and I'm assuming '97 as well) except for one key annoying feature: 2 lines passes. A 2 line pass will be called if the pass is over two lines even if the puck was ahead of you (i.e. if in the old NHL it was a legal strech pass, it would still be called a 2 line pass in this game.) The only way to negate the call is if you one-time it, which is annoying. Also the "handedness" of players are backwards (a player who was a lefty will be a righty) and the goalies catch with the opposite hand. As you might have gathered, the game has many bugs and as far as I know its release was limited for the Genesis. Still better than '95 though...

Heyo - Andrew here, I've been to this site before but I never knew it had online leagues and whatnot, and judging by the recent note that said that nhlonline will be ready to go again, it looks like I came at the right time. I am interested in getting some practice games in and whatnot and then eventually playing in the classic league. One questions though - The different leagues (A, B, C, D) - Are they different "skill" levels, or just a way of telling them apart? Thanks a lot AIM is louie4teen, email is aluison@uwo.ca Cheers
