Cool idea, I was wondering what a good way to "speed run" the game would be, I like this

In arcade mode, anyone but players with a 0 fighting rating will fight. I think players with a 42+ can start a fight (so you can have a 42 vs 14 fight, but not a 28 vs 28). In regular "On" mode, only players with I think a 71+ fighting rating can start a fight, and only players with a 42+ can participate in a fight. So you need to adjust your lineups to include players with the appropriate fighting ratings. After that, you just need to check a lot in order to trigger a fight. Checking after the whistle counts, too, so rack em up during stoppages.

I recall (or imagined) there being a 2on2 ROM with the Center and Winger having slightly different ratings. I always thought that had some NES Ice Hockey potential, for composing your team for your play style. At the time, there was no Edit Lines Crash fix, so making everyone the same made sense. But with edit lines working, I think it would be neat to have some different player templates. All players should be roughly equal in total skill, but have different "personalities" - speedster, playmaker, sniper, banger... It could take some playtesting iterations to get the right balance down. Different personalities would/could mean disparate weights. This makes it important to consider: Will a Weight Bug Fix be added? Will the CB check be disabled? Recommend leaving the B-check disabled (the usual when penalties are disabled. There's now a hack to enable B-check while penalties are off...) I think you already took care to have the handednesses right, continue that. Righties have a minor advantage due to quicker spinorama, don't know if that needs to be balanced somehow with a minor nerf to some attribute... Add Sundin, Gilmour, and Clark to the Leafs if they weren't on there before. Matthews if current players are also included. Kessel? Kaberle? Rielly? Sundin should be a starter. Can the widescreen patch be used on an everdrive and CRT? If not, I wouldn't do it, or would have 2 versions of the ROM. I might also not like it if it "works" on a CRT but is horizontally squished. Instant goalie button? Reduced goalie control b-button timer? Expanded goalie roaming areas? Put me down for Team Canada goalie, #40, Lefty glove, and I'll take a nice 6 rating on that glove if you don't mind

Sorry, NHLPA93 compatibility was never a focus for this, it just does 94

Nice, thanks for getting the word out P.S. I can't read the site though, white on green/yellow is basically invisible to me..

Very cool Does the box have the gold Limited Edition serial number sticker on the front? We collect those serial numbers, and knowing for sure that particular serial number was sold in Mississauga will give us a reliable data point for some day decoding how the serial numbers were distributed . And to know if the Limited Edition were still on sale in March... Here's the thread if you want to post the Limited Edition number

Someone on reddit said: "Quick note: Xcel Center is Grand Casino Arena now."

One of the best splash screens I've ever seen. Did you use the tricks to get extra colours, or is this 16 colours?

The intro was removed because its' super annoying > No intro hack applied to skip the long intro screens

I have the source, but it's in an ancient dead programming language that won't work on android. And android version would need to be redone from scratch.

Hehe, don't we all! Plus fighting from 93. That would be the Holy Grail game. We're actually getting pretty close to putting fighting in the game, it's mostly working...
