Probably my favorite team to play with. I consider myself to be a half way decent player and I'll play anybody. The thing is though, a lot of my buds plain suck or are just getting the hang of the game and I like to pick this team when I play against those caliber guys. It wouldn't even be fair if I chose Dallas or Chicago, and I can't stand playing with Florida and Anaheim. This slower, unskilled team still can be fun to play with. I like to use your 3rd line combo, and "rush the puck" D combo. Problem is, Wilson can't hit the broadside of a barn. So, expect a lot of shots to go straight right over the glass into the stands. Also, God forbid Falloon gets his bell rung and is out for game because you are going to have major problems. What I like about this team is how they play as a team. I can't explain it, but I feel they all know they aren't the greatest and they have to make up for it by crashing and hovering around the net. I've used this team and dished out major shalakings in the past. Plus, if my opponent uses Pittsburgh, it's automatic I pick San Jose. Again, can't explain it, but I feel San Blowse is their kryptonite.

AJ, I also enjoyed reading this. I was going to comment earlier but didn't want to get reamed for being the guy bumping up old posts. I let noober scoober LA Robby do my dirty work. I should of just said something earlier anyway.

yeah I was doing that and nothing. It would show it processing and then nothing. But my buddy told me I might have to scale the pic down with a program so I did and it worked. I still don't understand why I had to scale it down if the forum says max single file size 20mb. I right clicked on the pic under properties and the pic was only 1.71 mb. #10- yeah ten questions already but luckily they're running out. Apple computers. News to me. They're different. I thought a computer was a computer. I tried downloading the rom and emulator for my one buddy's computer so he could start playing online instead of the cartridge. No luck, not as easy at all compared to my computer. He was telling me Apple's are different and it won't work and something about Bill Gates and viruses, I don't know, he lost me after that. You mean to tell me nobody on here is using an Apple computer? The furthest I got was downloading the package and placing it in a folder we created but we could not open it. Apple won't allow us without doing something else. Any Apple users here? What else do I need to do? thanks.

there! figured it out wtf2.bmp

thanks everyone I now understand multiquote #9 why can't I upload a picture? I was able to once before. I click browse, find the pic, attach file to upload and then nothing. I get this: Used 0bytes of your Unlimited global upload quota (Max. single file size: 20MB) I'll even preview post to see if it's there and somehow worked but nope. Geeze, now this / Would this have something to do with firefox? But it works with my yahoo email. I can send pics all day. Only this forum.

that's it! that's what I read. good job man. I couldn't find a year on it though.

In theory, that makes sense. I'll try playing my buddy online using more packets and see what happens? he is also from chicago so it might be a good "control" experiment. sorry for the multiple posts, I still don't understand the multiquote button/

well I just got the retrousb in the mail. And I plugged in my only sega controller that has turbo. I used it for 4 games and my faceoff percentage skyrocketed! It definitely helps. But the controller is my crappiest one I own and I don't like using it. It would actually be a hindrance than do more good since the buttons don't have good respnse time. I'll pass to Tony Twist in the slot for a for sure one timer press the 'C' button and all he does is catch it and stare at the goalie. Man I hate that. I'm at a moral dilemma now. Do I use it to compete with the "A" players and not be able to sleep at night? Will I be able to look at myself in the mirror and say "I'm good enough, smart enough, and God dammit people like me?" It's like steroids, not that I'd know lol. It wouldn't be too hard to notice if someone uses turbo I think. I got to think about this. I do lose A LOT of games only winning 25% faceoffs a game. And I'm not even kidding. I check the game stats all the time.

I'm using Gens and I have a new flat screen monitor, probably LCD, it's a nice one. Ok, so when I open up Gens, next to File (where I open up the Rom) there is GRAPHIC. I currently have Vsync unchecked. I just didn't know what it does or if I should check it. I'll leave it unchecked like you said. I now understand what I sprite is: It's my hockey player raising his arms after a goal when I play Wags after his shite talking. And at the same place under GRAPHICS it says sprite limit, that IS currently checked. I started the game up and while I played I kept unchecking / checking sprite limit but I didn't notice anything. thanks

and where can I go about looking into that? render plugins Are render plugins or scanlines similar to this story I'm about to tell you: Around 5 years ago, my friends and I played sega cd '94 at my house one day for honestly like 8 hours straight. For whatever reason, I forgot why, we plugged in the cartridge game. Holy shite is all I gotta say! We were laughing so hard. Our eyes were trained to see how smooth the sega cd version is and when we went to play the cartridge, the game looked choppy! The skaters and the flow of the game was real choppy is the only way I can explain it. But after an hour, our eyes were used to it and we couldn't tell the difference. Why is that? What happened? Frames rate?

A few years ago I thought they did something similar to this and NHL '94 won as the best sports video game of all time. It beat out Mike Tyson's Punch Out. If I remember right it was for some game website called IGA or something along those lines? I don't remember what year. Voted and emailed the link to my '94 buddies who play the game but aren't on this site.

I got that retrousb in the mail today. I was reading about it and decided to go with it like Donny said and use the sega contollers. Since the sega controllers are pretty durable I also figured it would be easier to replace them than purchase a sega controller with a usb attachment already on it. Now, I also can use it for my genesis. Let me say, it is worth every penny. I was a little apprehensive at first, I worried about reaction time and stuff, but it's right on the money. Instant repsonse. The only issue I have is with my old controller, not the usb link. The other neat thing about it is, once you redefine keys after you plug it in your computer, you can disconnect and reconnect a different sega controller at any time, without having to redefine keys for every different sega controller. I tested all four I have off that 4 way link I use in the genesis. I highly suggest getting one instead of a controller. Like the one guy said, this is how the game is meant to be played. But what do I know.

in my experience it depends on how many rams you are using, when i have 300 gigabytes turned on i dont' experience a problem, anywhere between 300-275 GB are great. also, check your hardrive for suspicious shalakings you might of received from playing online. Sometimes Hamachi gets nervous and won't open for another raping. in other words. I dont know.

Hello Everyone, even you Wags, I wanted to make a thread of problems I run into while using the computer and/or internet to play online or everything else that goes with it. I think this would be the easiest way instead of PM'ng people with my dumb questions. I never really was any good with this stuff but over the course of 5 years I've gotten a hell of a lot better. Hell, it's my first season playing on-line. I always wanted to but I was timid about doing it. Now, I'm having a blast. By dumb questions I mean I didn't even know what a PM was or all this other computer lingo like "ttyl" "brb" etc. I'm 32, some guys my age went this route and understand, others like me went into the working field where the only computer we had to deal with was the punch clock in a factory. There are some guys on here who are 20! and were 4 YEARS OLD when the game came out! Christ. I do my research a lot myself. I don't want to bother people and plus you sound like an idiot. But that takes a lot of time going through threads (finding them, reading them, and not understanding them fully) or surfing online. I want to thank everyone who helped me in the past too. Here are some that pop in my head: 1) How do you use the quote, multiquote system when you reply to a topic? I never could figure that out. It's the same system I noticed on other forums. Do I right click and highlight what I want to respond to and hit a button? For instance sometimes I only want to respond to a specific part of someone's comment, but when I respond, the whole quote shows up. 2) AIM settings. What is the difference between IM and CHAT? Instant message I know that. I've been using that. When would you use chat? I don't need to worry about that for '94? 3) I always wondered about this one. Will this effect gameplay: recently I figured out by I think going into control panel somewhere, how to fix my issue with the game starting up and automatically going into full screen mode. It was a PIA. People would message me and I would never know because the display wasn't windowed. Now, when I play online, it's windowed and when someone messages me, it'll flash at the bottom. I think I might of right clicked the desktop and went to properties? My question is, wherever I was, it gave me options of changing my screen resolution. It was saying 1020x 450 , along those lines. What should I keep my screen resolution at for best graphics? Will this effect gameplay? 4) what the fudge is VSYNC, render, sprite limit? What is a sprite? 5) NETPLAY- Basically all servers are client and hamachi is P2P? When p2p isn't working use server to play. But server isn't as good as hamachi? connection setting good 20 packets (not excellent) (why not excellent? if both parties use excellent- do you get an advantage?) what is a packet? what is LAN 60 packets? 6) Can you think of any other settings on Gens to mess around with for better sound, graphics, smoother gameplay that you guys use? thanks 7) Who is the biggest sore loser on this forum? Past or present lol 8) How the fudge do you win faceoffs? That is my biggest drawback. i don't even care, I'll tell you all. I suck. I average like 3-5 wins per game. I keep jamming the B button so there's got to be something else. Do I need to buy a controller with turbo button? The guys who use turbo, does it help? Cause I need it. Is it cheating? 9) more to come?.......... thanks

Hey guys, I am looking to play you guys at your conveinence. I'm usually avail anytime between 3p.m. - 8p.m. C.S.T., give or take a few hours. Sometimes I'm avail during the day too. If you see that green dot on AIM message me, that means I'm most likely there. Some of you guys can't receive off line messages. No hurry, just can't contact you. Let me know what times or dates are best. Get back to me anyway you like. syrijo, smozo, pokeman, cardinal, piehole, kushmuck, donnybrasco thanks Comeback King

currently most guys don't. I agree it's nice to be able to receive messages while you are offline. I'm going to start trying the other methods shortly.

you mean I'll manhandle you

i've AIMed you four times bud. if you see me hit me up

Man, I hope so. Just so you boys up north know, not all of us down here agree with this B.S. relocation of these NHL teams from Canada. Hockey belongs in Canada imo. I had a guy tell me, who was from Winnipeg, that the money just wasn't there for the Jets. No fan support. Idk. But I always wondered this. And maybe you guys can tell me. If these teams came back to Winnipeg and Hartford, will they be called the Jets and Whalers again? Or will it be something like MN.? If not, f- it. I won't settle for anything less.

Yeah I like this one. You could say this was the best TEAM goal ever. Not because a bunch of teammates contributed, but because each guy who touched the puck had to use finesse. I actually posted this link on my buddies page OneTimer. It took me forever to find it. I remember seeing it on tv but had no idea what team scored it so it took awhile, plus it wasn't NHL which made it that more difficult to find. I like.

the highlight reel was cool, a lot of nice moves..... but that was the dumbest GAyest shite I've ever heard.

Whoa, this is heavy!

A'irufhu merci sacre' blue u'ye' Hu'GAGA guy lafleur' et no fui savoir fair ueissor ?

Is Doug Weight and Adam Foote retired? And you figure after this season '11, Modano, Recchi, possibly Lidstrom and Selanne will retire. That leaves Hamrlik and Kovalev. I went with Kovy. What I do know is, it will be a sad day in the NHL '94 community. All the men who brought us this greatness will be long gone. But the memories will live on...

I suck, I still have 2 new Xbox 360 wireless controllers and xbox 360 and nhl '11 still in the packaging unopened since my birthday. The last time I played the new hockey games was like nhl '08 or '09. i was terrible. Every time I was going down I was using the toggle stick as if I was going up. So, when I would pull back for a slapshot, well I forgot what my guy would do but he didn't take a blue line slapper I know that much. Even with the Nhl'94 control option (which i was excited to see) it made it easier but you don't stand a chance against the toggle stick. Maybe you do? Maybe I blow and that's why? But it seemed I didn't have as many options with the puck.
