    Thanks for the feedback.  I know you gave me a much longer one in private afterwards.  I took it to heart and improvements have been made.

     

    The way you approached me the day before was fairly abrasive, and to be fair, you're an intimidating guy, even if that's not your intention(takes shirt off mid tournament lol).  If I made alterations to seeding based that type of discourse hours before the event, I feel that I would be opening a door I cannot close.

     

    Thanks again for the feedback, and regardless of what you do in the future, I think you're good for the community.  I enjoyed you on the mic with Arda.

    NO WEIGHT BUG!!!

    NO CREASE CUTS!!

    The goalies really are amazing!!

    Mad scrambles, post, wicked pad slides side to side (Who needs manual with these guys)

    The deke is still slightly to easy to beat them with but if not using a Super High Agility/stick  guy not so much.
    And the Defensemen AI is outstanding!  So the deke is only somewhat cheesy.

    I still maintain it's not NHL94, as the Stars were in Dallas

     

    Everything in all versions of NHL 94 is based on 1993 season.
    All the ratings are the same in both the 94 Gens Cart and this game, although the rosters are deeper and the lines are more accurate.

    The 94 Gens cart keeps players on 2 teams, moves the Stars to Dallas, and includes the Ducks and Panthers.
    But it is still based on 1993 season.

    The way games were named back then was for the upcoming season (in this case 94), but based on the previous season (93).
    So the naming gets confusing.

    Playing Full Seasons of NHL Hockey (94) DOS

    In the spirit of what Tecmo Guys do with Full Seasons.
    No need to sign up, just post your Seasons here.
    Play as many Seasons as you like.
    I will award a Retro NHL Bobblehead to the Person who has the best record of Season and Playoffs.
    Can you go 100-0.  84-0-0 in Season and 16-0 in Playoffs.

    Rules:
    -You may choose any team.
    -5 minute periods
    -Penalties On, Offsides Off
    -84 Game Season and 7 Game Playoff Series.
    -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.

    I have started my first season with Minnesota.  I will post some results later tonight.

    Amazing Game!

    splash1.pngstudio.pngcalendar.pngintermission.png

    pregame.pngratings.pngref.pngrinklevel.png

    The AI is excellent.
    Playing the computer is actually fun and somewhat challenging.
    The lack of manual goalie is made up for with amazing Defensive AI.
    They really clog the middle and while the deke is still a very good move it is not money or cheesy.
    They will often level you or force a bad shot.
    So much more of a Hockey simulation than any other version.
    Really has all the best parts of 92, 93, 94, and 95!

    Other awesome stuff,
    Full Season Mode, Ron Barr including speech, plus an awesome rink announcer, Anthems (no kneeling), USA and Canadian Flags, Back up Goalies Play, Varied and accurate center ice logos, Sound of the boards, goalie pads, sticks, pucks, etc...., better music, more dynamic and accurate crowd, guy blowing a single horn at times, Jumbotron including Fan Meter and other cool stuff, Ref retrieves puck and goes to box and signals penaties, calendar, 4 actual accurate lines, scratches and deeper rosters, 1993 season celebrated, Stars in Minnesota, No Ducks or Panthers, 3 Stars, skate out after being announced EA Sponsor, Shows total goals when a player scores for season or playoff not just that game, more accurate goalie pulls like when down 1 or 2, not just when down 2, visual line changes when players go on and off, dynamic crowd, announcement of 1 minute left in the period, so much more amazing game, an actual Stanley Cup presentation and skate with the Cup, Long Live DosBox!

    Negatives

    -The local casuals that are advertised were in my experience often, kids, women, or other people that had little interest in playing but were used to drive marketing.
    -The seeding was whacked. 
    -Almost all Genesis guys attended yet we spent most (75 percent) of the day playing SNES.
    -The World Rankings are also jumbled because of past these past tournaments and the whacked seeding.
    -While I feel I drew the a short straw at the Vancouver King of 94, it was completely random and truly just turning out in a pool that was very strong due to unknowns.
    -In Green Bay, there was monkey business with the seeding ahead of time that I directly addressed the day before the tourney and was basically told to pound sand.

    Positives

    -Hotel J was outstanding!
    -The pre and post tournament action was top notch.  (Exi's, 2v2, breaking world records)

    Damn, coach! Why delete your posts? Makes it hard to follow this thread, and people are really taking the time to write some well thought out stuff. 

    :(

    Unknown.jpegThis is why I deleted my post.  I should have kept this private.

    I wish I could have left the left side blank and that it would allow me to do just an 8 team playoff.

    This is fairly easy to do.  I have made 4 and 8 team playoff brackets for my Historic Roms.

    Just make a blank blue banner that matches the background of the playoff tree.

    I also have no idea what Game of Thrones is......:grimace:

    More like 12 seconds, but it was actually very euphoric.  

    I was knocked out twice playing football and once by a punch.

    Not pleasant, Hurt going out, Hurt waking up, Hurt day later.
