bump for possible progress on this project.
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.

In 94, the checking rating just controls how often AI players will check (but not, as far as I know, how effective the checks are).
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).

Hello @kingraph--
In lieu of a very long pm, I thought I would post in this forum
I have a question about the Appendix of Individual Player Attributes. This was from a long time ago, but do you you happen to remember what values you put in for each attribute to get the ratings you did (Roenick 100, etc)? You mention the values below, but when I plug them in I still get Lemieux 100, Mogilny 97, Lindros 93, etc.
E.g. did you do something strange with the weight calculation? If I put weight as (-5), Roenick is now 100, Bure 93, Mogilny 93, Yzerman 91, etc. It's close to the Player Appendix, but not quite exact.
Anyway, thanks a million
Hey buddy, these are the ratings for the appendix :
Forwards Defense Goalie Scale 0.465 0.509 0.969 Weight 5.000 5.000 0.000 Agility 4.000 3.125 4.500 Speed 8.000 3.750 0.000 Off A 1.000 1.250 0.000 Def A 1.000 3.875 4.500 ShP/Puck 7.000 2.875 4.500 Chk 1.000 1.875 Stick 3.000 3.375 ShA 3.000 2.125 End/StkR 0.000 0.000 1.000 Roug/StkL 0.000 0.000 1.000 Pass/Gr 3.000 3.500 1.000 Aggr/Gl 0.000 0.000 1.000 -
I got to do this at the Prudential Center, playing against Ken Daneyko. Still one of the coolest things I've ever done!

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.

And I'm going to defend a shot that I love to do (some call it the EA Special... thx to bhf ;-) ) The wrist shot / rebound goal is a great tactic to keep the other guy on his toes. I'll be the first to admit it doesn't work all the time but you need to know with particular players where that shot is most effective to make the G dive out of the way. It does take some knowledge to know where that play will work depending on the guy shooting.
Some might consider it cheap, I call it diversifying your offensive strategy. What separates the best from the rest in most of our lgs is that someone who can use all types of attack strategies. I'll point one person that comes to mind right now... he's a guy that is better than most at doing utilizing every offensive look is scribe. Imo, no matter how good you are at one aspect of the game, once you have a game plan that's predictable, your opponent has an immediate advantage.
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

Turns out the 34 team ROM works the same for me [start at offset 0A06FA instead of 0A06DC]
Those six extra teams seem to be referencing something else, but that isn't dissimilar from the player photos and roster data.
Teams #31 and #34 are the only ones with really messed up ratings so I'm not overly concerned given the circumstancesI never updated the overall ratings for the 34 team ROM (I should have, just never notice). The right way to do this would be to find an empty location for 34 bytes to load the overall values, and then change the pointer at 0A06BA to the new location. Pretty easy fix if anyone wanted to do this.
So right now teams 29-34 are using the 63 63 32 45 4C 46 values, which is actually a different part of the code and should not be changed.
To your point, I don't think these overall team ratings are used for any team simulations. I never looked into the season mode as I hit a wall and never got up

Alright, if I may @UltraMagnus , as a preeminent expert on NHL 95 around here, I am compelled to ask.
How the hell are the team overall ratings determined?
Long long story short, I've broken a lot of things in my experimentation, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get that number to change. [which is kind of dumb as the game includes built in create-a-player and roster editing functions. I can have a team stacked with 90+ ringers vs an AHL squad and the team ratings still won't reflect that]
The step-by-step only shows the pointer, but changing that [even to just hide the number] doesn't seem to have any effect, too bad EARE just crashes if you try to open anything but a 94 ROM, and messing around with the team hex data like with NHLPA 93, doesn't seem to hold the key either. I'm right bloody stumped.From my notes when I hacked 95, I have
Offset: 0A06BA
offsets to TEAM OVERALL Ratings. Each byte represents the overall rating
Check and see if that helps. Again, this is me blowing the dust off my notes, I haven't checked, but this sounds right. lol.
EDIT: CONFIRMED, this is the offset to the team ratings. So the value at 0A06BA is 000A 06DC. That's the pointer to the team overall offset.
Starting at 000A 06DC, the team overall values are in hex.
It starts with 3A 4D, which is 58 and 77 (Anaheim and Boston's rating, continuing for all the teams...)

This is damn impressive! All of them are, but getting 100-0 with TB with 10pts for each player is sick.

I rearranged the tiles for the team logos so it's much easier to see and manipulate in TM. Now the 23 logos are each 6x4 in order as you can see in the screenshot. I also remapped the palettes to make it possible to edit in TM easily. So as of now, it's pretty easy to edit the logos.
Each team has 7 unique colors they can change (3-9) and the other 8 are shared (2; 10-16), which is the two reds and the black/whites/greys. Color 1 is transparent.
(Some snapshots of the 15 colors all working properly from TM to the game, as well as what the puck looks like unedited and the full space of the 6x4 grid)

its interesting that the logos on the pucks are different colors in the menu and easy to tell while here seem to use some of sort of corresponding coloring for every logo, perhaps the colors are coded in for each layer? i hope this does not disrupt the idea of custom logos.
No, each logo has a separate palette that you have to load in order to see it properly. The colors I had loaded for that particular image was for the Black Hearts only.

Yes! I totally know what you're talking about. I'm not sure if it's a glitch because there's an actual sound effect associated with the whiffed shot (unless that sound is associated with another action?) Doesn't happen often though. It'd be interesting to test your theory.

Nothing to go on here except that he is one of the few Rangers to wear #13.
Camille Henry and Danny Lewicki were tiny little guys who played for the Rangers but neither ever wore #13.
This one bothers me as we have most of the team.
Yeah, I wonder if sometimes they just didn't spoof someone specifically.

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.
