    Got kind of a dumb question but I own NHLPA 93 for sega and mine says EA sports at the top and that is how it shows on the scoreboard, but yet most screenshots I see show EASN (ea sports network)on the scoreboard and the box reads EASN instead of EA Sports at top...did they re-release it or something at one point? I know ESPN tried to adopt that EASN and it never took off really. Just wanted to know why my copy differs from the ones I see on screenshots/youtube, etc. Other than the logos are there any other differences in the games? Is one better than the other? 

     

    Thanks

     

     

    I've got carts that say the same thing, plus they have a big red EA instead of the spinning pucks on the opening Splash screen.:big_smile:

    I do think they are just later versions after the whole EASN thing.

    I like the EASN and spinning pucks better, but cool to have both.

    I have looked for other differences but never been able to find any, besides the in game timer, center ice logo, and the splash screen.

    Ended up passing on this, guys. 

    Turns out a blessing for me.

    OK, so I am pulling back some things and not selling them as when I was testing everything and boxing it up, I realized how awesome those Gamerz Tech HD systems are.

    I had a framemeister and for me these perform much better.  I am keeping these.

    Still could sell some pieces individually.  Especially the SNES Everdrive.  DM if interested in it or anything else, besides the Gamerz Tech stuff, but pick one up and trash the CRT TV.

  3. Plenty here to get a start running a tournament.

    Thought I'd post here before selling things Individually on E-bay.

    @halifax @Edge of '94 Midwest @McMikey @kingraph @chaos or anybody else.

    What is included?

    1 Genesis Everdrive.

    1 SNES Everdrive.

    1 Sega Genesis 1 with 2 6 button controllers, power cord, and hook up.

    2 Sega Genesis 2 each with 2 3 button controllers, power cord, and hook up.

    1 SNES, 1 controller, power cord, and hook up.

    1 Gamerz Tech Mini Gen HD with controllers and power cord.

    1 Gamerz Tech NES HD System with controllers and power cord.

  4. Leagues are Dead.:electric_shock:

    Forum is Dead.:electric_shock:

    AIM is Dead.:electric_shock:

    Gens is Dead.:electric_shock:

    :big_smile:Kof94 One = Perfect.  Why did anything change?

    Downtown, HHOF, Mikey, Toronto, Air Canada, Craziness, Triple elimination, Real Sports, Blue Jays vs Yankees, All the Best players and Best Guys.

    :scorn:Kof94 Two = Uh oh we forgot to have it.  HUGE MISTAKE and loss of Momentum.

    :unhappy:Kof94 Two Part 2 = Nice try.  Good Idea and could have been awesome, but went to dead part of Vegas (did anyone consult the guy from Nevada).  East Coast Bias and Eastern guys did not come in great numbers, Stupid format begins, Movie is late and still not complete.

    :anger:Kof94 Three = Horrible.  Format stunk, Venue Stunk.  Nobody came.

    :electric_shock:Kof94 Four = No thanks.  Video game geek venue.

     

    94 use to feel like hockey, now it feels like video games.

    I hate video games.

    I thought that was a screen space limitation, all the Alexanders are spelled that way

    Extending names can cause problems when the player scores a goal and on the 3 stars screen.

    I can't remember the details but I have changed shortened names in my retro roms because it looks bad.

    10 letter max sounds about right.

    @CoachMac thanks, Coach. I'll take a look at that ROM later on. How did you do all of those? Amazing!

    @Edge of 94' WI good point and I'm well aware. The original ROM will always be the ROM. Even with all the ROM's I've done, I doubt anyone plays them besides 2on2.

    @kingraph I definitely take full responsibility for the project, but if members can chip in two cents here or there, if I create a topic about a team and am overhauling ratings, that would be appreciated. This is what I was going to do with pixelpuck.com but it became too time consuming. 

    I don't expect or need anyone to have to open my edit in TM or NOSE and make adjustments. And I know that no one really cares about player cards and such, but they are a nice finishing touch. 

    As an example Brodeur isn't even in the game, yet he won the Calder. I believe Hasek won the Veznia as well but is only rated 50-something.

    A team like San Jose would get a big bump in forward depth with the additions of Makarov, Larionov and Whitney. Irbe deserves a better rating as well.

    There are a lot of small adjustments that could shift the tiers to make the game more fun to play. Perhaps it could make for a deeper draft league if anyone had interest in doing something like that. 

    Remember the game is actually based on the 1992-93 Season.

    This sounds more like a rom based on the 1993-94 Season.  Which is a cool idea.

    I actually think the ratings from NHL 95 are better than the ratings for 94.  They were done by Neil Smith of the Rangers as opposed to Igor Kuperman.

    They would be a good place to start as 95 has all of the tweaks you mentioned and more.

    I am also glad that at least you, me, and @kingraph care about the player cards.  I watch them every single time.

    One thing about my roms is that I left the ratings and game play untouched so that it plays exactly like the Original , but it looks tons better.

    I can barely look at the Original rom with the improvements made to Logos, player cards, and splash screens.

    I promised myself I'd never do another ROM project, but I have an idea and would like some feedback from the community.

    Many of the purists may be thinking that I'm messing with the Mona Lisa of hockey games, but I think an updated version of the game could be a good thing.

    Before I get started: no I don't think this will replace the original NHL'94 with all it's beautiful flaws. That's not the big idea. This would just be a twist on the original that could freshen up the game and be a lot of fun to play.

    Some of the adjustments / corrections to be considered:

    • Player ratings predicated on member feedback. This would make this ROM edit more of a community project. 
    • Correct, expanded, post-trade-deadline rosters, including players who were not in the original game but should have been.
    • Correct the uniforms with the help of my sprite patch: ECA/WCA, SJS, PHI, MTL, CHI & FLA, just as an example, are way off. This might not bother some people, but I'd like the uniforms to be as accurate as possible. My sprite patch makes this possible.
    • Improved center ice logos
    • Improved team-menu logos
    • Improved splash screens, maybe. I feel it may be best to leave these alone, unless I can find the original splash screen photo and remake it for TM.
    • Player card photo for every forward, defenseman and goalie.
    • Updated net.
    • Weight bug fix(?)
    • Assist bug fix
    • Separate (Y) button for goalie control patch (holding B still works, for those who've never played a ROM with this patch)
    • Swap goal siren and end-of-period horn.
    • I also feel like the banners and font can be improved but shouldn't be messed with.

    That's all for now.

    The reason why I haven't added a poll is because I like some feedback as to whether the brain trust, here, thinks this is a good idea, and if I were to start this, what exactly would everyone like changed.

    Really want to here from the established members of the community as well if it seems like a worthwhile endeavor, because ultimately the community will be playing the game. 

    I have done my versions of this.

    Not everything you posted, but it does have some of it.

    I have some other versions I have made for guys as well, such as my Mike Modano special.

    More info can be found here.

  8. That is a great video.

    I am inspired.

    To get better.

    @DaDonch44 ran a GDL 93 in 2012.

    That was the first league I played in.

    I then ran some 93 leagues in 2013 and 2014, followed by some 92 leagues.

     

    Lots of great buds played in them.

    @kingraph@Brutus@jer_33@angryjay93

    93 is also far more fun and challenging to play against the computer.

    Hard to explain why as the deke is super easy to score in 93, but play 20 games of 94 vs CPU and then try 20 of 93.

    93 is better.

    I used to know this, having to relearn.

    you were behind the awesome 93 site?

    I went to play this ROM in OpenEmu (Mac emulator) and all of the players' names are blank! Is it also not playable in season mode?

    I am not sure what to tell you it works perfectly for me on my Everdrive in Original Equip.

  10. You can change it back to "Normal" using the SmozRom, however the ratings will be really whacked as the person who made the rom with "abnormal" ratings changed it from a 0-6 rating to a 0-15.  So changing the rom back you will still have players rated above 6 in many categories causing what I would think is a nightmarish situation.

    What roms are you working with?

    What is your goal?

    Also, NOSE shows you the correlating normal values of the ratings when using the abnormal ratings.
