  1. Hey Deadmeow, Your web-site is great and I would be interested in joining your leagues. I like Kega for playing in person, but have never used it online. I would like to try it because my issue with Gens is about half the time it plays super fast. The action looks like it is in Fast forward mode. Sometimes it even goes in and out during a game.
  2. Building off what Raph said. Use just the 82 fighters in the draft. 8 A Teams 8 B Teams Done And yes I think the League is great.
  3. Maybe the drafting needs some tweaking but the bottom line is. We want to Fight! And we want to make it more difficult to score. Hacking in manual goalie, one timers or fighting in 94 is way beyond my understanding, but I have to believe it would have been done if it could. Check all the threads about it. If we get the Fighters on the ice and the skilled players down the deke will not be unstoppable. How about this. 8 teams and all your players have to be rated 71 or higher in fighting. 82 Fighters in the game. 32 d-men/8=4 per team and 50 forwards/8=6 per team. It will not screw up 6-4-2. See EASN knew this day was coming. Llimit the league to those 82 guys This will create a whole new world of getting to know the bottom dwellers.
  4. I am close to closing out my first season in a league with just 4 games left in my GDL 93 Season 1. My playoff hopes are dim. 93 has always been my favorite game, but now that I am in the WBF Classic 94 League I see where I was wrong, 94 is a far superior game for Head to Head play. I am actually doing pretty well in the 94 league and love it. With that being said I do not want GDL 93 to fold after one season and have been kicking around ideas to make 93 more entertaining. Outlawing the deke is unmanageable as Raph and TK pointed out, BUT Why do we like 93? What is the only thing missing from 94? What could make this league fun and unusual not just an end to end deke fest? I propose for GDL 93 Season 2 the following changes: #1 Use the Wt Bug Fix #2 Limit the League to 10 Teams. (Current League members get in first based on participation this season....that should assure me a spot) #3 and this is the one that will make it great and why we must limit to 10 teams: #3 There are 82 (50 forwards and 32 d-men) players rated 71 or higher in fighting. The first 8 rounds of the draft you must pick players from this pool. That will put 8 out of 10 skaters on each roster as bruisers. Then in rounds 9-12 you can pick your stars and goalies. The lack of speed and skill will make the deke much tougher. You will only have a couple of skilled players and if you have ever played 77's rom their will be tons of fights. I guarantee scores would come down, offensive creativity would go up, and it would be ALMOST as fun as 94. DaDonch had talked about a mandatory fighter rule before we had this league. I say take it to the extreme. If we leave it as it is 93 will probably die as even I am more interested in 94 leagues than another season of the end to end deke fest. Let me know your thoughts and I would love to test some games using these rules. Can you imagine.... The first pick of the GDL 93 Season 2 #1 Cam Neely #2 Bob Probert #3 Gary Roberts etc.... in the 8th round Dave Brown Ken Baumgartner Tont Twist etc...
  5. Thanks for getting this going Plabs. I am excited to play and improve in 94. Hopefully these guys are around ready to play more than the 93 crowd.
  6. Plabax, Sorry to be a noob but may I change my team to Edmonton.
  7. Kingraph as always the brillant voice of reason. I'm gettin ready for some online 94.
  8. My mind is blown! We should be writing for Grantland.
  9. Managing properly is a huge problem I will admit, but TK try it playing solo. In fact try it playing solo with the Ottawa Senators, it is fun. You have to pass it around, set up shots, look for the open man and get rebounds. Secondly, of course it is nuts. We are all nuts playing video hockey. Tecmo Bowl leagues disallow (limit) the use of D-Linemen as the guy you control because they are unstoppable, I am just proposing limiting the same thing because it is unstoppable and makes the game more fun. Though managing it is harder than managing not using a D-Lineman. I will never forget 93. I love 93 but I also hear what you are saying and am joining 94 leagues. If Segathon gets a 95 league going...I'm in. I would love a 92 league. Come on over and I'll play ya in some Coleco Table Hockey.
  10. To make 93 great you must do one of 2 things: #1 Outlaw the deke. (This is what we do at our in person tournaments) or #2 Not be very good at the deke. (The games I am competitive in or even my occasional win in GDL 93 are really fun and against guys who have not mastered the deke) The problem is, it is all we try as well in our games and that gets boring. "IF" and I sure hope we do continue the 93 League we should outlaw the deke and fix the wt bug. Without constantly going to and trying to deke you get all the crazy bounces, rebounds, slapper goals etc... that make 93 great. I am also honing my 94 skills so that I can join more leagues of that.
  11. I bet we could figure out. I remember resetting the game after I would trade all the Original Oilers back to Edmonton. I will look at it tonight. I am 99% sure that is why you had desynchs. Both guys need to completely reset the rom to its original form before playing online. It is the first question we ask each other before playing Tecmo Bowl. Our site and tournaments were completely inspired by you guys. It brought us back together after 15-20 years and led us here and to online play. I would love to come to Minnesota to compete in a Segathon, but am afraid my drinking skills may not match up.
  12. I want to see a Head to Head match up. John Smith vs TK. I did not say 93 was better, I said 94 was better for top level Head to Head Competition. (Which I do not fall in.) I like 93 better for many of the reasons you stated. But again trust me John Smith. In person, on Kega (which I love), on Gens as TK said 93 is cheese and he would drop 20 on ya. Join GDL 93. Play me. Be nice. Don't troll.
  13. Hey even better John join GDL 93 we need some replacement players. You can show us all how to step up our defense.
  14. I like 93 better John Smith, but trust me you can't step up your defense on TomKabs or many of the other guys on this site. For Head to Head between top level players 94 is a much better, challenging, entertaining game. That is coming from a guy who loves 93 like no other. And for not so good players like myself 93 is a blast. Hit me up for a game or if you want to get 20 dropped on ya hit up TK.
  15. First off Segathon, your site and live events are awesome. I actually found your site before I found this one. Season mode in 95 was awesome. I played it a ton when it came out but did eventually go back to 93. I also loved the awards ceremony at the end. Your site and Live events inspired us to start Retrothons in 2009. A combination of Tecmo and Nhlpa 93. We even have added RBI Baseball and NBA Jams. www.oldtimevideogamesports.webs.com About online play and desynchs. Your problem may be the Season Mode. We use to have problems with Tecmo Super Bowl desynchs because the roms would be slightly different because one guy would have a season going or had changed a play and that would make the roms "different" hence causing the desynch. If both players just make sure to reset the rom completely (done in Tecmo on the season schedule page) then it solved our problem. I don't know if that would help your 95 online play or not but it is worth atry.
  16. coachmac1981 on AIM. I am ready right now.
  17. 93 is/was the game for me. I also have just joined the 93 draft league that kingraph spoke of and can see why the pros love 94. It is my first league with this online community and the scoring by the pros (raph, Tom Kabs etc...) is ridiculous. The deke is completely unstoppable. But for playing solo or playing with like skilled friends and some other like skilled players in the league 93 is still my favorite. I am going to try a 94 league but feel my lack of ability in goalie control and one timer will make me even more of a doormat but hey it is a video game and it is fun finding like minded guys who play 20 year old video games. New games and systems are worthless to me. I bought everyone up to like NHL 2005 on the PS2 played them for a week and went back to NHLPA 93. The wt bug fix is awesome. NOSE blew me away. And yes smozoma is incredible. I never played SNES original or now but I am sure I would love the game on that system as well. It cracks me up that we fight over it. I love this community but everybody needs to read the quote at the bottom of kingraphs post whenever we argue about systems, running up the score, hits after the whistle etc... Lastly, I am also a big Tecmo Bowl Fan and feel like 93 can be made better when playing by just adopting some simple rules like people do in Tecmo. In Tecmo leagues you can not use the DL as guys you control because you are unstoppable. I don't use them when I play the computer. If you play 93 and outlaw the deke it becomes a really fun game without ridiculous scoring. I play solo and with some other guys using this simple rule and have great competitive games. I also am not very good (7-30-3 record in league) www.oldtimevideogamesports.webs.com
  18. Funny I didn't even know I was using italics....Oh no here I go again. But I am glad you found my words poetic. I love this idea and Carse is right you need to protect the bottom coaches from themselves. It was so funny when I drafted Messier in the first round of GDL '93 and Plabax made some comment and I was like what is the matter with that guy Messier is rated 93. Well now, I know as my first round pick rides the pine. Oh how I wish we had used the wt bug fix.... Anyway loving the league and would like to try a '94 league and this one sounds ideal.
  19. That would be fun. That is how we play at our Live events where I am actually a pretty good player. I take Ottawa in 93 and give the weak players Chicago. I would be into trying 94 in a league like that.
