Aside from the fact that there is no WT BUG in this version, checking is also much nicer as Board Checks are also not 100% successful.
Sharks play in the Cow Palace! I Love it everytime I hear that!
3 Stars Formula seems better!
And again the Defensive AI, will really shut you down and not let you get to the net for the deke!

You are amazing!
I can't believe you are 41-1-0!
Congrats!
I guess it is about the same as your typical run through B Level competition.
Need more people trying this!

Thanks for the heads up. For editing lines by the way, do you keep the PK at their default and just change the PP ones? What about for third goalies who are scratched? How can they play?
Just rotate Lines 1-4, Defense 1-3, and Goalies.
If you have a third goalie he plays with Line 4.
On 11/11/2018 at 5:34 PM, CoachMac said:-Line Changes OFF, but special rules do apply to your roster.
---Players must play their default postion and with their default line. RW = RW etc...
---You must use Line 1 and Defense Pair 1 and Goalie 1 for the first 21 games.
---The next 21 games Line 1 will rotate back to Line 4, and Line 2, 3, and 4 will all move up 1 slot.
---The defense pairs will rotate in the same fashion. Except with only 3 pairs Pair 1 will play with Line 4.
---Goalie 1 will play with Line 1 and 3, Goalie 2 will play with Line 2 and 4*. Teams with a third Goalie will play him with Line 4.
---Scratched players are scratched for the season.
---Playoff Rosters work similarly.
---Each Forward Line can play in 1 and only 1 playoff series. You choose the order but if Line 2 is playing Line 3 is backup etc....
---Each Defensive Pairing work just like in the season 1 with 1 and 4, 2 with 2 and 3 with 3.
---Each Goalie plays in 2 Series. If teams have a third goalie he does not have to play in the Playoffs. -

Are you all having problems with blank stats? What options are you using at the very beginning? Are you using 92-93 season or random schedule and then original teams I'm guessing instead of custom? I played 2 games and standings were blank for my league, as well as stats. Also, for this league, do you leave injuries on or turn them off? Thanks.
You have to go to File>League Manager>Merge and Update team Databases for the Standings and stats to update.
Injuries are ON.

It's helpful that I have big bad Messier out there, but I am not going to play out this season. I will try a few more with crappier teams like you guys are doing another night.
Stick with the Rangers Raph. I started 17-4 so 21-0 with Line 1 will probably happen. They are YOUR TEAM! Go 100-0 and I'll send you a Gordie Howe Bobblehead!
The other Lines will be tougher! -
3rd Line goes 13-6-2. 6-3-2 at Home. 7-3-0 on Road. 1-2-2 in Overtime.
Neal Broten outscores Modano.
6-0 win over Chicago.
6-1 win over LA.
8-1 win over Detroit.
7-4 win at Boston.Lost to:
CGY 1-3
VAN 0-1
NJ 4-5
TB 1-2 (OT)
TOR 3-4
STL 2-3 (OT)

Just a quick recap as I'll save the more detailed update for the half way mark.
20-1-0 with line 1. I had a handful of close games but I ended strong with my 5 game home stand where I ran 4 starting goalies off to the bench including Potvin, and Belfour.
Line 2 will be a true test as it composes some of the lesser talent on the roster.
Carter-Evason-Gaudreau
Zmolek-Wilson
Hayward
Hope I have some easy teams to square off against.
Congrats, I went 17-4-0 in my first 21.
It will be interesting to see how you fare with Line 2.

So I just tried this, spent about 1 hour and can't get it to work properly with my gens controller. I am also happy to play keyboard, but the only thing I can find is "Enter" to shoot, along with the arrow keys. If anyone has done this to work with a Genesis controller (or even mapping keyboard keys), I would be greatly appreciative. @Kiba?
@kingraph use this:

Assuming you are using a Gens controller.
Set Button 3 to ALT-R (B button on Gens controller) (Pass)
Set Button 4 to Enter (C button on Gens Controller) (Shoot)

if you look at nhl 92, there is a guy there, I guess they deleted him for some reason, lol
He left when they took fighting out of the game!
Forgot his leg though.

This game is definitely pretty awesome. I noticed the backup goalie thing too when I chased Vernon in the 1st period. I also got to go against jablonski when I faced Tampa so maybe he is the starter?
Some of the player ratings are different from console version. For instance, go check out Joe nieuwendyk, he is a monster in the PC version. Also, I noticed a lot of the scratches who aren't on the console version have some really strong ratings. Ray Whitney is a scratch with ratings make him arguably the best sharks player. It's kind of a bummer that the scratches got way over juiced.
I should make some more progress on Friday and I'll post that once I have it with more observations.
Jablonski is the starter as he should be!
He played more games than Wendell Young in 1992-93. 43-31.Joe Nieuwendyk's ratings look more accurate. He would be rated 92 if you plug those ratings into NOSE.
BUT, I also think the ratings are very different in this game.
The DOS version does not calculate an overall.BUT,
The shoot/pass bias does show AND each player has a FACEOFF rating, so maybe that has something to do with winning faceoffs in GENS.

I am at a total loss for how to edit this game!
I can not make heads or tails of the editors.
I guess it will have to be 1992-93 forever!

More DOS awesomeness....besides having back-up goalies play against you...and sometimes play well. (I lost to Pat Jablonski!)...you can chase a goalie if you get to him early!
I have been outshot by the computer in 28 of 46 GP so far.
13 times the CPU has had over 20 shots against me and as high as 29.I have been outchecked by the computer in 15 of 46 GP so far.
The LACK OF MANUAL GOALIE DOES NOT MATTER when the DEFENSIVE AI is good.
I have also played a little bit of 95 DOS and it is not as strong. Mainly because CREASE CUTS work.
I have included more stats in my Half way season wrap up. Including my overtime record, Home/Away Record, and Shutouts.
My 12 losses are to:
QUE (twice)
VAN (twice) (1-4 drubbing one time)
CHI (twice) (4 wins and chased Belfour with a 4-0 first period)
CGY
DET
EDM
NYI (4-5 loss in OT, wild game)
NJ
TB (with Pat Jablonski in net)

I'll have to wrap up line 1 later on but i think i should go 20-1 barring another game with bad luck.
So my Gordie Howe Bobblehead is safe for now!
I started 9-1-0 and finished 17-4-0 with Line 1.
It is trickier and deeper than you think.
You will have some struggles with other lines.10 hours ago, angryjay93 said:Pretty fun game that while not super challenging, is definitely a step up from GENS or SNES.
Huge step up!
You lost a game...to the CPU!...the King of 94!I actually have a hard time playing the GENS version anymore.
This is a way better game!I am going to post some more details about my season that will show the depth of the game.
I hope more people will join this League!

The North Stars are the the #1 team in the Norris Division, the Campbell Conference, and the League.
The #1 Line, Defense Pair, and Goalie: Gilchrist, Modano, Courtnall, Tinordi, Hatcher, and Casey went 17-4-0.
(9-1-0 Home) (8-3-0 Road) (3-1-0 Overtime)
The #2 Line, Defense Pair, and Goalie: Duchesne, Gagner, Dahlen, Johnson, Ludwig, and Wakaluk went 11-8-2.
(7-3-1 Home) (4-5-1 Road) (1-2-2 Overtime)
Darcy Wakaluk W-L stats are off he should be 11-8-2. His GAA etc... are accurate. (weird)
Jon Casey had 3 Shutouts.
Darcy Wakaluk had 2 Shutouts.Team Rankings
The North Stars are 24th (last) in Scoring and 1st in Defense.
They have the 11th rated Power Play and the 1st rated Penalty KillSkaters

Is anyone else having problems running this game in DosBox? NHL Hockey has worked just fine, but not NHL 95. Thanks.
They both work for me.
Very similar, I am not sure why one would work and one would not.

I feel like I have discovered a treasure!
I had never played this, and it is by far and away the best version.
I tried playing Genesis version last night and it felt like Pac-Man after playing this.+1 on the Center Ice logos and just so many details.
I am almost halfway through a season with Minnesota.

I just read through all 8 pages of this.
I have both versions NHL Hockey and NHL Hockey 95.
I am most interested in editing NHL Hockey.
Here are my questions.1. Is it possible to limit the number of selectable teams? Original 6?
2. How do I back up my files? Most importantly the Original Game. (I downloaded the Original Game and DOS Box in one package. I am not even sure where the Files are on my computer as it also automatically did a Desktop Shortcut to play the game. Which is handy and nice, but I don't want to screw up the Original game)

Maybe!
The DOS version was released by Park Place Productions and feels more like Jim Simmons work (aka 92 and 93)
The Sega, SNES, and CD were released by EA and High Score, feel more like Mark Lesser.

Just wait until you figure out how to create retro leagues on NHL94PC, or figure out how to re-create the jerseys with a better palette of colours and actual logos!
Yee Haw!
The jerseys are already really sweet, but ya some Original 6 era stuff will be coming.
More awesomeness is includes the sound of goalie beating his stick as penalties are expiring!
