Line changes are fun once in a while, but the pace of the game really slows down. With the online stats, and +/- hack, it's a very interesting way to play from a stats-nerd perspective. When it comes to manual goalie, it's completely different using manual goalie vs the computer, and manual goalie vs a real person. I would almost never use manual goalie vs the computer (other than to negate icings), you're much better off playing defense. But when you're playing against a real person, you will quickly learn the times when if you don't take over the goalie, the other guy gets an automatic goal. For example, the "crease cut" move, the AI goalie will flop on the ice every time, but if you take control of the goalie, it's an easy stop; another case is the slapshot from the slot, which 90% of the team beats the goalie, but you can just take the goalie and shift him over a little and block it. I have only encountered 2 guys who were upset about being checked after the whistle. I consider it part of the fun, its own little mini-game. The exception is if I'm winning by a lot of goals, I might stop checking after the whistle so as not to appear to be rubbing it in. One time, I had a guy get upset because I checked his player into the penalty box during a penalty animation, which caused him to have to wait 2 extra seconds for the player to get up out of the box, then go back into the box to serve the penalty; I found that a pretty ridiculous thing to get upset about. One of the rarest and most treasured feats in the game is to check all 5 celebrating players after getting scored on.

In theory EARE handles this, but you have to write out a big file with all the picture offsets. However, I haven't heard of people having a lot of success with the "Set Player Pictures" option, it may be buggy... Worth a try, i guess.

Hey I posted this into the discord for visibility

Welcome! I got it for Christmas that year, too! I'm in Canada though, so of course most of my friends were already hockey fans, but I always like hearing how this game managed to create hockey fans. Haha that's twice this week I've heard about this. It really lends credence to the joke in the Swingers movie about how they removed fighting from the game because "kids were hitting each other or something"

This will be the final NHL'94 tournament at Storm Stayed Brewery in London Ontario until winter comes back. Here's the previous event:

"Results" There were 7 players (they expected "a lot more" but think March Break cut the numbers down). The missing 2 on the board were erased at the start of the playoffs (apparently they only played a couple games anyway - the format was very loose, sounds more like a warmup than a round robin). @Len the Lengend won the tournament, winning a gift card, which he gave to GR812NV (3rd place - "I lost in overtime in the semi finals 2-1.") Thanks to both players for taking time to check out this independent event and reporting back! GR812NV provided pictures. Next tournament is April 18th

Halifax discovered this tournament run at a brewery in London, Ontario. Here is their events page where their upcoming retro tournaments are listed: https://stormstayed.com/pages/events For a while we thought it was at the library... I'm a little confused still, but it was attended by @Len the Lengend and GR812NV.

Excellent! What was the solution? Needed to put the OCX files somewhere?

Was it you about 10 years ago who posted about Twitch, and I was like.. "why would we play on a website when we can play on emulator?" 😆 I totally misunderstood the concept. I used to stream on Twitch on https://www.twitch.tv/kingofnhl94, but ever since they instituted the 100hr archive limit, there's no point. I had 400hrs of content on there that I managed to pare down to 99.5 hours to keep the most important stuff. From now on, I stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@NHL94Community/streams which is where you'll see the upcoming King of 94 tournament. I don't really regret switching. Twitch has nice user participation, but the "discoverability" of past videos is pretty useless (no one finds your content unless you're streaming at that very moment)

I have trouble with it forgetting my controls sometimes, too. No solution, but props on the thread title 🤣

What are you trying to get work? You have a 94 cartridge that doesn't work? You can buy a replacement for ~$10 on facebook marketplace/kijiji/craigslist

Playing without one-timers takes a lot of fun out of the game, IMO So it might be better to play SNES 94. Deking to score is much easier on that. Slapshots don't really work, though..
