Shaftman i thought about that too...but you could just keep doing it until you got the result you wanted...aka REST OF GAME
Have the opponent put it into the RNG, then. Simple.
Oh yes the period long injury can be sucky/awsome....but a period long injury would never end up lasting games long after the injuryTry what I just had to do in NHL '96 - play almost a full overtime period without one of my key star players. Not only did I escape unscathed, but I outshot the Devils to boot. That game is currently savestated with about seven minutes to go in the fourth overtime...
-
All I did was change both of the "Face-off" rules in NOSE to "Delay" (Delay of Game doesn't fit) and made one a penalty. Then I put the puck out of play to see which I got - I got lucky and pulled the penalty one. See, one "Face-off" is for the goalie freezing the puck, and the other is for the puck going out of play.
I actually once changed it so all stoppages aside from Period/Game over resulted in five minute major penalties. Man, that was fun. I once sent everyone on the New Jersey Devils into the box, and NJ still had three players and a goalie even after I sent the starting goalie to the box. However, with all other stoppages, it just calls the penalty. When you change the "puck out of play" one, the game doesn't recognize the stoppage anymore or thinks the puck is still in play. So you'll see the ref raise his arm for a penalty, but the penalty never gets called because play is still going on. The result is actually two penalties, one "???" player goes to the box, and then the player that put the puck out of play goes to the box, but this is only when the period ends. The game also doesn't go to the intermission screen after the penalties, it just hangs after both players are in the box, with the referee calling a tripping penalty.
-
I was wondering if it's possible to add a Delay of Game penalty for putting the puck out of play. I changed the trigger for puck out of play to call a penalty for delay of game, but all that happens is that the referee calls penalty, then at the end of the game the player who shot the puck into the stands takes the penalty, but the game freezes.
So is it possible? Normally if there's a delayed penalty and the puck leaves play the penalty is called, but I guess we'd need the source code to be able to implement penalties for delay of game.
-
I'd also love to play this. I wonder if even an incomplete version could be released so others could work on it, as it sounds fun.

I would say shot clock, but though it works in lacrosse, lacrosse has many differences that hockey does not. However, the NBA has a ten-second rule (only allowed ten seconds on your side of the court), so maybe it could be made into a neutral-zone-clock or something? Make it so that you take a delay of game penalty if you're not in the offensive zone and the clock runs out? Of course, this would likely necessitate removing offside. but I think that offside makes games too long. If you put in the "neutral zone clock" so to say, then you have to remove offside and two-line passing.
I liked the removal of the two line pass, IMO it speeds up the game and puts emphasis on the end of the powerplay. Teams on the powerplay have to keep the puck near the end otherwise the killing team can simply throw a pass to the guy coming out of the box for what is usually a sure breakaway.
Stop cracking down on fighting. Fighting is a part of the game and most people like fights, even in the US (wonder why the UFC is so popular?). The players have their own unwritten rules for fighting and abide by them, so leave them be.
Contract the league as follows.
Get rid of: Florida, Nashville, Tampa Bay, Phoenix. No support in any of those places, except for MAYBE Tampa. Nashville is the only team of those that can actually do well anyway, but that's not a hockey city. If you don't want to get rid of Nashville, put them in either Winnipeg or Kansas City. The other three teams are pretty redundant.
Move or change the ownership of Chicago. Ownership change might be better as the owner does NOTHING to promote the Blackhawks, and Chicago used to be pretty big on hockey. Madhouse on Madison anyone?
There's some other teams that might need to be moved or folded, but they escape me. None of them are Canadian though, the Canadian teams all have good fanbases and are well-supported.
Get rid of the division leader rule, or at the very least re-align the Eastern Conference. While the parity is all well and good in the West, the division leader rule gives the Southeast winner third, while you see the fourth and fifth-place team usually doing better. Or it could be like the NBA, where the division winners get home-team advantage but if there is a team that does better than a division winner, they obviously will be placed accordingly. Either way, the Southeast Division is too weak and the teams in the East should be re-aligned to give better interdivisional parity.
Give the Stanley Cup finalists the last two draft picks, like the Super Bowl finalists get in the NFL. The winner goes last, the loser goes second to last. This at least gives a bit of consolation if one (or both) number one seeds were knocked out before the finals, then they at least don't have to pick last even though a team that's picking before them in reality did better than them in the playoffs.
Do not expand to Las Vegas, ever. The CFL tried it and failed. The XFL tried it and failed. Las Vegas is a tourist town, most people that can afford hockey there are tourists that will likely just go in, watch the first period, then leave. The only two sports that will be able to survive there IMO are basketball and baseball. Hockey won't. Hell, there shouldn't be expansion at all because the league is too big already.
Lastly: fire Bettman. He's done nothing good for the league and has made idiot decisions. All he tries to do is keep obviously failing US teams in the US because he thinks they'll do better - really, Nashville likely would have done better if they were moved to Ontario like the original buyer had planned.

I guess Goalie Control is alot easier on SNES then Gens. There are only a few players who play the Sega version that can steal games that way.
Likely because there's a button on SNES devoted to going to goalie control, and on GENS you have to hold B.
-
Joe Murphy's a good player, I usually start either him or Christan Ruuttu over Goulet.
Marchment is underrated though, the first time I played Deer Steve Smith got penalized so I put in Marchment, and he was just blitzing guys, knocking them out left and right, so I left him in and he was a powerhouse defensively, and I tied Deer 4-4 thanks to a lot of Marchment hits.
-
Why does everyone want to see GENS A vs SNES A winners play?????????????
Isn't it obvious that it will go sweep/sweep both ways!!!
If I won SNES A I wouldn't want to play that series, I'd know for sure that I'd sweep 4 & kept swept 4
But maybe JOTA & GEN guy want to play so GL
Deer's getting into Gens, he's played a few exhibitions.

This is a great site. I was looking for the manual for FIFA International Soccer for Sega CD and I was able to get it here. I don't see an NHL 94 manual yet, but from the looks of it, this site is constantly updated so it couldn't hurt to keep checking it.

Your .bin file link gives a 404.
As for teams, what do you need? I can give you some good ideas.
-
If that's true, then I'm doomed. I've almost played out all the bad players in the league and all I have to show for it is a 3-15-1 record with a frustrating pattern of losing twice every time I win once in a three game series. I really want to play pyl85, from what I hear it'll be three wins onto my record and I can make a run at the A playoffs.
-
Random team league. Basically, I get the signups, then every team gets a number. I will use a random number generator to determine numbers. I may give some leeway if parity seems off, however, otherwise it'll work random assignments.
The schedule won't be demanding, I'm thinking of keeping it to a simple round-robin format, so if we don't get tons of signups then you'll not be playing too many games. Playoffs will be double-elimination, and I may have the winner in the losers' bracket come back for a match against the winner of the winners' bracket for the championship round if the idea sounds good.
Another twist is we may use the NHL 07 update. Depends on if you guys want to use the original 94 or try something new.
If this has enough interest I'll try it out, I made the schedule smaller just so people don't complain about a demanding schedule - if we get 15 players, 14 games isn't that hard.
-
I've been trying to use a small mod to eliminate one team's players (set their starting line to the same guy then get a stoppage of play) to practice moves but GENS has crappy control, especially with my controller - angles are near impossible. So would NOSE for SNES be possible or do I have to remove the other team the hard way?
I wish this game had practice mode..

a draft LOTTERY works well.
look at the winter league. the way that was done is excellent, and i think everyone in that league would agree (except maybe the people right at the bottom who got stuck with average teams, but they are so good at the game that it wont matter anyway)
It also helps if you dont have completely full leagues too, that way nobody is stuck with the bottom 1/3 of the teams. Two leagues of 16 teams where 4 from each conference make the playoffs eliminates what, 12 teams at the bottom end of the rankings?
I don't believe doing anything excesively foolish like letting any player pick any team, so that you have five chicagos and 4 pittsburghs, etc, is the way to go. Nothing that drastic is necessary. A draft is nice in that you get to pick from whats available, instead of blindly picking and hoping for the best, and the lottery makes the whole thing fair. (yes, i fully believe that even the best players in the league should have a CHANCE at #1 pick, no matter how slim)
A format similar to the winter league is definitely the best way to go. I mean, just look at the teams involved! There are no BAD teams there!
So says Mr. Ottawa Senators. Then again I'm in the basement with Chicago because I plain suck, though I've tried to keep games close.
As for angryjay, you got Bourque and Turgeon (unless you mean Sylvain, not Pierre) and don't tell me that Recchi wasn't on the all-star team, because he was. You got some good guys there.

Hey patio87 - I've actually been looking for my manual for the last couple of days to try to give you the "official" breakdown of the controls lest I forget something important. I can answer your passing question - the pass will generally go to the player who is "most" in the direction you're pointing with the D-pad (or whatever you're using as your directional controls on the keyboard). If there is no teammate in that general direction, instead of going directly towards a teammate the pass will shoot in a straight line in the direction you're pointing.
I knwo the manual is a longie at 80+ pages, but getting it scanned might be a useful asset for the site, so people can learn the ins and outs of the game, or for people who just want to read the extreme detail it goes into.

I'm with IAmFleury'sHipCheck... I'd probably do it to a buddy to get under his skin. But I don't really find the strategy fun other than that, so if I played someone who did that on a regular basis whenever he had a lead, I'd probably play fewer games against him and play people who match my philosophical style more (with no hard feelings).
No offense, but since I seem to blow leads a lot with my aggressive play style, I might just start getting a lead and playing the trap. Maybe go for chances here and there, but my all-out style tends to get me an early lead which I seem to lose in the late game, or lose right away and cannot regain.
-
Well, the deadline's tonight, so you might get it on a forfeit =/
-
Pittsburgh #87 Sidney Crosby. If I can't wear that, then either Roenick's #27 in Chicago or Sylvain Turgeon's #61 from 94 Ottawa.
-
It keeps telling me to insert the disk =/
-
I'm game, but I call Columbus.
I wonder if we could have an All-Star Game at the break too, where two people use a modded rom with the All-Star teams for the year on it.
-
I prefer being aggressive and trying to get some insurance, plus, it's easier to kill the clock when in the other team's zone as it takes time for them to get the puck up ice, and that time can be used slamming their guys with defenders.
-
great idea....which team will be the soviets?
We need to have JotaC vs. Marc. NOW.

The Deer,
You make a good point about nerves. Obviously skill has to do with outcomes but nerves can play a big role as well (maybe even a bigger role).
So far, playing in the winter league. I have a record of 11-16...I have a record of 11-1 against the SNES 'B' league players and an 0-15 record against SNES A league players. why is that? You'd think I would've atleast won once against an 'A' league player or lost more against the 'B' guys.
well there obvioulsy is a skill difference between the A and B players...but why do i make come backs or win the one goal games against the 'B' players...and blow leads against the 'A' players and lose the one goal games.
I think it nerves more so then skill....I go in thinking 'well i'm not supposed to win this game since it is an A league player so let's just have some fun with it' and i find myself trying to make low percentage plays that i wouldn't normally make just trying to get a goal...or on the reverse side playing defence...not concentrating on making the plays.
don't get me wrong i'm not saying I should have a winning record against 'A' players...but I know there were a few games where i'd be up but never felt comfortable with playing the lead against the better players and vice versa against the B players(never feeling out of it when fallen behind).
i'm not even in the playoffs yet.....lol..perhaps my nerves will be shot by then.
EDIT* for the spring perhaps I'll ask Evan if he can start an A-/B+ league...then my nerves wont have anything to do with it
Nerves do become a factor. Last night, when me and Matt were playing overtime (we were actually playing a seperate game because I had to leave in the middle of overtime in our original game, but we decided to play a make-up sudden death period), I got really jittery when I was shorthanded, and started just playing hard, hitting his guys, not giving him a single chance on goal. Whenever I could, I just dumped the puck down the ice to kill time to get back to five on five. I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I managed to get the puck off of him and clear it late in the penalty, letting the penalty expire, and an even bigger one when he subsequently iced it to set up the winning goal for me.
-
I like the idea, however, I also like the promotion/relegation thing - bottom two teams (depending on how many teams there are) drop a level, champion and runner up go up a level.
Worst NHL 94 Team

I'm actually okay with Ottawa, so I won't say them. In fact, I would have to say Los Angeles...just pound Hrudey with shots. Same with the Islanders, except that the Islanders don't have Gretzky or Rob Blake.
