  1. You know you're having a bad night when...

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    Day 4 of my "Bad Night"...

    -Lost 4-0 in GDL opener @ Boston.

    -Lost 2-1 to CPU Detroit.

    -A combined 11 penalties in both games (4 against Boston, 7 against Detroit)

    -Controller tossed across living room in disgust.

    -I'm SSiG. This is normal for me because the ROMs seem to be hardcoded with the logic that "If SSiG is playing, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!! :)

    I'm sure I'll be adding to THIS one as well :P

    -Your best effort is a 7-0 loss.

    -You dominate the stats against the CPU and lose 4-1.

    -You come to the realization that your best won't be good enough for more than 3 wins in a season.

    -Your best player is Darren Turcotte.

    -You miss a tap-in and send the puck flying into the nosebleed section.

    -The opposing goalie somehow scores on you.

    -I forgot to mention...the goalie was THE FRIGGIN' CPU!!!

    -Losing 6-0 after 2 periods to the same CPU that I could tally 15 goals on if I was motivated.

    More to come, I'm just so demoralized at the moment.

  10. League Formats

    in Global Announcements

    Posted

    I think I can tweak that format a little bit. You have three tiers of player, and in every month, each player has to play against the other players in that grouping.

    Tier A - The elite of the elite play in this group. Last place takes on Tier B's 1st placed player in a relegation series (best of 7). Players are expected to have no trouble beating players from the lowest division, and should be able to beat the middle group. Penalty points can be had for losing to either group, moreso for losing to Tier C, thus encouraging Tier A players not to pack it in if they play against the lower groups.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tier B - Middle-group of players. Not quite elite yet, but no pushovers here either. Last place takes on Tier C's 1st placed player in a relegation series (best of 7). Players are expected not to lose too often to Tier C. No penalties for losing to that group once or twice. If a player in this group loses to players from the bottom level 3 or more times, then penalty points will be accrued. No penalty for losing against Tier A players.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tier C - Rookies, low-rung veterans, and overall bad players play here. The top spot in the group is what everyone's shooting for, and a chance to potentially be in the 2nd division next month. No penalties for losing to Tier A or Tier B opposition. Bonus points for defeating them, especially if a Tier C player knocks off a Tier A player. There is no relegation, so there is little to no pressure on the rookies to do good to stay in the group. There is also no limit as to how many rookies can join up in this grouping.

    That's just how I see it...that way, the rookies and poor players won't get embarassed unless they WANT to get embarassed.

    Bolded Teams are Playoff Teams

    wboy Division

    EricAnthony76

    angryjay93

    Logan

    KingsCupRun93

    DaDonch44

    SSiG

    Division Analysis

    EA, Angryjay, and Logan should be able to put a nice gap between themselves and the rest of the division by mid-season. KCR will chop into it late, but it won't be enough. DaDonch44 and SSiG will be fighting it out to avoid the cellar, with Donchy coming out on top of that one thanks to a better head to head mark (they finish tied in points).

    Dallongeville Division

    HABS

    Scribe99

    Vocally Caged

    newjerseykiller

    awesomerino

    edisaurusrex

    Division Analysis

    No offense to edisaurusrex, but the talent in this division is just way too much. The battle for the division title will go well into the home stretch, but expect Habs to win the games when it counts most. Scribe should be able to hold down 2nd, with Vocally Caged finishing 3rd. Newjerseykiller will get a playoff spot as well, as will GDL rookie awesomerino, who will be able to tie down the final playoff spot with some late season wins to hold off KCR93 and DaDonch44. It'll be a battle between SSiG and edisaurusrex to avoid the conference cellar...but some late wins for SSiG should be able to secure only minor embarassment. :lol:

    Mark Lesser Conference

    Dmitry Division

    kgman

    thegr8199kings

    skoolyardpuck

    Matt Hurray

    Jamonica

    hokkeefan

    Division Analysis

    With Mogilny and Smith, I could have put hokkeefan in the playoffs...now, not so much. While Gilmour will be good, Al Iafrate's hard slapper will not be able to help enough. kgman wins 40 in a row to start the season, clinches the division before his clash w/SSiG, which turns out to be the biggest upset in NHL94.com history. gr8199 finishes a distant 2nd in the division, with skoolyardpuck and Matt Hurray tying down playoff spots. Jamonica is a quality player, and in the other conference, he'd probably be the #3 or #4 seed...but this conference and division is loaded with talent, so I see him just missing out.

    Evan Division

    backhandfloater

    Carse

    takeyourpill

    IceStorm70

    dmac

    smozoma

    Division Analysis

    The Evan Division will be highly-contested down the stretch, with bhf and Carse going neck and neck until the very end. You could swap both of their final positions and not go wrong. Takeyourpill could get a playoff spot, but questions about how many games he'll be able to complete will arise often. Another GDL rookie, IceStorm70, will be able to get the final playoff spot with some key wins down the stretch. Dmac and smozoma could easily make this division a fight for the bottom 4 playoff spots, but I'm going to be bold and keep them out for now...kinda' because I'm too lazy to re-write this entire thread :P

    Discuss...since there will be disagreements with my predictions :P

    DISCLAIMER: The preceding is in character, and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of DaDonch44, SSiG, or the rest of the GDL.

  18. Division/Conference Alignment

    in General Discussion

    Jamonica doesn't speak for the owners who have been here for years now.

    I've seen so many things to love about Dmitry's site, it's pretty ridiculous to criticize it like that. We have individual player records, user records, tons of team stats, random records, season-to-season tracking, etc. --- it's '94 heaven. Personally, I like the old school flair and realistically I don't care that much about fancy graphics or anything. It has better CONTENT than any league. The standings page doesn't need to be changed.

    And I think people are getting too carried away here. I like the way DaDonch has set up polls and everything for the owners, but the attitude of entitlement seems to be getting worse. We don't need to alter and take a vote on every single minor detail about the league. Allow the people who offer their services to this league a little more freedom and respect. Some of the criticism of the new rom creases and player indicators, just rubbed me the wrong way. You have artists out their making a new hack just for this league, and people won't even give it a chance.

    Quoted for emphasis. It's not really about how the game looks, it's about how the game PLAYS. We all sometimes forget this huge thing...

    GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE THE GAME!!!
