I don't know if there will be. Currently I have so much other personal issues going on. I may have time to do update in November, although. Will see.

There is weight bug fix and accelerated fatigue. You cannot play with just one line.

1. Chicago 2. - 3. - 4. - 5. -

No. It is NHL2010.bin.

http://update.nhl94.com/ Complete season 2009-2010 update is now done. Off-season updates (for example, Halak, Byfuglien etc.) are made to NHL2011.bin, which is going to be published in October.

Thanks. Complete update is coming this week.

Yeah, as I said, that right now many ratings can be crappy, as I haven't update the bin for a while. I can imagine, that Canadiens players will overall be quite better, as the team is playing in conference finals. My ultimate guideline is: the better the team is the better the players are. That way even the worst players of Stanley Cup champion team can be little better than usually. That way I'm trying to make best teams in NHL best teams in the bin. The Oilers is crappy team in the bin, because it was crappy team in NHL. And, yes, I know that they had tons of injuries and Hemsky plays with crappy linemates and faces first line opponents, and I know that Hemsky is really really good player in real NHL, but it really is impossible to count all those things. If you want to make crappy team crappy, you must make some sacrifices and oversimplifications.

Kovalev's shot is 3-5 The guy scored 18 goals. I don't think he deserves any better. And guys honestly. this is not going to work the way that you are going to shout what the ratings should be (as that would take forever, because you all have different kind of opinions). I'm doing the bin my way/style, and you don't have any idea what my style is. And the truth is, I can't never ever satisfy you all. We all have opinions about what the ratings should be. But none of us is right. They are just our opinions. That is why I'm not going to make Hemsky better, because FPB wants to, or make Kovalev super player, because you want. I make it my way, and we are gonna stick with it, or we are not gonna use that bin at all. It is true that RIGHT NOW, some use ratings may be totally crappy, as I have not update the bin long time. That will change, as I will completely update the bin - if we are gonna put up the league and use the bin.

What do you guys say, if we can get enough players, what if try to put up small league or cup with Euro rules and NHL2010.bin. I can put players' stamina little more up, so they won't die so fast, and update the bin up to this date. We can play this when current GDL season ends and while we are waiting next GDL season to start or right now. I think games should be played with 7 min periods, so that player must use all three lines and because injuring penalty is 4min. It is 4min, so that it really costs something to take out opponent player out of the game. With 5min periods, 4min penalty could be too harsh.

That could be done.

This is something I would like to experience: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=11328 Like NHL94 super cup "-- Let's say, we play NA home games with original bin and NA rules and Euro home games with NHL2010.bin and Euro rules. Everyone gets what they want, and we can finally play against each other. "

Great. Lets try 'Euro rules' sometime. I can hear you. For me NA rules are way too arcade. Its not hockey, if you can just use speed burst all the time, get like 20 checks in one period and skate and pass without offsides. I like that the game is more about tactics and as realistic as possible, not just brainless banging and shooting. Thats why I also like that goalies are generally good, so that it takes skills to score, not just shoot towards goalie - and goalie like Sean Burke always lets it in. And I'm definitely not saying that NA players are not skillful, man you are the most skillful guys I have ever played against, but with Euro rules the game is, in my opinion, more challenging, as you can't pick one Jeremy Roenick type player and score zillion goals with only one player. So maybe it is cultural thing. But as I said, lets try euro rules sometime. And after all this "rant", and even I don't like NA rules as much as Euro rules, I hope to play in GDL next season, because I want to learn to play better with NA rules. I want to be good with Euro rules and NA rules both. After all, these rules and this bin are quite challenge for me.

Great! Good to hear. Let's try it sometime. Don't take that too seriously, that 'scared' was just motivation talk. Euro rules means: offsides on, line changes on, and 7 min periods. And NHL2010.bin means there is weight bug fix and accelerated fatigue, so that you must use all three lines.

Actually I think this was quite good season for us Finnish players. This was first season for me and nahkahomo, and we managed to advance to second round of playoffs. Not bad at all. It would be really nice to see how you NA guys would do with NHL2010.bin and Euro rules. But I think most of you (except fpb, kgman and tickenest) are too scared even to try...sadly...

Sorry about the lag. It the connection was better, you would have won easily. Hopefully next time we have fair playing environment. But GG.

Nice to hear. Thanks for the comments. Our goal was to make NHL94 as realistic as possible. (as you could with old arcade hockey...) It just seems that almost all of North American NHL94-players like to play the game with original rom and without offsides and line changes. Way that the game is ultimate arcade, where you just can crash and bang all the time (speed bursts all night long).

Sorry guys. I'm currently extreme busy with my work. If they just pay for updating the rom.... I try to update the rom during playoffs.

I'll try to make all trades and transactions during this week.

No we are not going to. I have been really busy currently. I at least try to update last trades made in NHL to NHL2010.bin. However, I am not able to update trade deadline (March 3) transactions due the holiday trip. They will be updated after March 14.
