I don't think we need to do pics of the stickers, but here are the latest two

@smozoma, I was originally thinking of the exact same setup as the birthday problem. However, is there any difference because there is 12x the volume? So it's not 28999/29000 but rather 347989/348000? As I think about it, it's probably the same. So assuming your math is right, WE ARE NEARING 50% CHANCE!

Hmm, that's also an interesting way to estimate total sales. If we track 1st round/regular ratio, we can have a reasonable assumption of total production. I feel like it's less than 50/50, but will track.

@Tickenest, perhaps you can help answer this question? If we assume 12 batches of 29000 copies of A-L, what are the chances/probability that we would find a duplicate serial number at some point if we kept picking one at a time?

Interesting. I was thinking the serial numbers are sequential and the letters were not a separate batch. So I'm about 1/12th the size you're thinking (0001 - 29000). Let's keep our eyes peeled. We have 193 numbers as of today, which is 0.67% of 29,000 and .055% of 348,000.

Added!

If it's reported here, they must have posted it on eBay!

The best method is to get a Super EverDrive and load some of the latest ROMs you can find here. EverDrive: https://krikzz.com/store/home/53-super-everdrive-x5.html Unfortunately nobody has figured out how to make a SNES version with all 31 (soon to be 32) teams. The last updated roster version I know is here: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/20579-thereal94rewind-snes-rom/

I'd suggest making playoffs top 6 (top 2 byes) or even tougher with only top 4 to make the regular season more meaningful 8/10 in playoffs is a little too generous imo. Fun way to use some old ROMs!

This is interesting and worth testing either by a side-by-side with two players or frame by frame analysis. I still think agility is more "left/right" ability with the stick rotation and not a straightforward acceleration. Something weird thinking about Leetch skating at 6 and decelerate to 3. I think Leetch can turn on a dime or spin around quicker than others. I do agree that speed is more top speed. No way everyone is same speed.

Thanks for the continued interest in this project! Once I uncovered how to hack the logos, players, player ratings, etc. I sort of lost steam as that would be enough to create a new updated/custom ROM. However, I can plow through some graphic hacks as those are the easiest (at least for me). If there's anything in particular you're looking for, I can surely focus on that next as well.

I have noticed, as has @Uncle Seth and others, that the checking ratings seems to factor into the success of C/B checks. You will see a much higher success rate of CB with Dave Manson (9 wgt, 4 chk) than Paul Coffey (9 wgt, 2 chk).

Yessssss

Another one here if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/EA-sports-The-official-NHL-94-box-of-225-game-card-set-sealed-unopened/265057404239 Though your price was better!

This can happen -- it's a known bug. Hitting someone after the whistle or end of period on a breakaway beep can create a penalty shot.

I think each team can have 26 players, so the maximum cards you can have on a 32 team rom is 832.

1,000 pucks on @Sebe_The_Legendwith Tampa Bay. Zeppelin is @kylewat 200 puck longshot on @niuhuskie224 assuming I get some odds.

BUMPING this post. Thanks to @smozomafor sleuthing this, but the origin of the phrase "EA Special" is confirmed to have been coined by @backhandfloater. And indeed because @IAmFleury'sHipCheck was abusing people with that shot
