Does anyone understand how to aim shots in this game? I know holding up on the dpad makes the puck raise, but I don't know how to aim to either side of the net. I kinda assume that shots are auto aimed, but it doesn't seem like they go to the initial open side of the net. Seems like it goes right for the middle often

I guess just like in real life, in nhl 94 you can't choose your sexual orientation. Some people get aroused by C checks only, others by B checks only, and others enjoy it both ways. This isn't including the transgender CB lovers. I wish the whole world could get off on the juiciness of a solid B check, but who am I to tell you what's hot and what's not. Confidence is massive in 94. I do agree that believing in yourself is very important. I think that the compliments of other players really helped me get started quick in this community. Blind confidence is actually a desirable mindset. I'm not gonna name any names here, but think of all the top 94 players over the years, they are ALL cocky ass mofos! I had confidence problems in my return to 94, but people telling me to stop worrying about losing helped wonders. Every time im down a goal or lose a game in a series all I could think about was 'my reputation is gonna be shot, people are gonna think I suck, wow I am terrible, omg what if I get swept??, I don't deserve this, I'm so one dimensional, blah blah blah.' Once those thoughts begin to brew then I just tell myself now 'stfu, stop thinking about outside the game matters and just play in the moment right now.' If I lose a series now it's not as big a deal. My ego is in check, but I do gotta remember to keep my confidence high. If anyone's too lazy to try to improve but wants some results, post your krecs in my analyzing game videos thread so people can help find your weaknesses for you. My internet is so bad now that I can't really watch vids, but krecs are easy.

Is that the same in snes? In gens at least, anybody can check anybody with (i think) 100% consistency, regardless of either player's weights. Board checks are so satisfying

He can't use any team, cuz aj just moved in with me

Add me to the list g e n s

Hahaha yeah he is one of a kind, like a hell of a lot of people around here Seth broke up with me a few days ago cuz I can't play anymore though, so screw him

WATCH EM ON MUTE YOU FKIN IDIOT!!!!!

Yeah you're probably right, I said that I really have no clue, it's just my thoughts. Static roms would definitely be best. I think there is enough talk as of late that a push for this change would be successful

Yeah I interpreted what you said wrong Seth at first. I thought you meant something crazy like pressing B for the pass, pressing B to get control of the receiver, and pressing B again to poke check (which somehow made them receive the pass better). So completely ignore me calling it crazy, I just can't read. Good point about me not controlling the receiver. I only really take control of the receiver when I throw a total hail mary breakaway pass. When it comes to all of my other passes, for some reason I have always had the mindset that the pass has the best chance of being received well if I just let the receiver do his thing. A ridiculous way of thinking that I should really change. Passing is so inaccurate in 94 that it's best to take as much control as you can get. This is fking lovely Brutus, honestly. This is what I have been thinking about when I try to tell Seth that hot/cold doesn't change the world. Mario can have a bad shot. Ciccarelli can have a bad shot. Housley can make a bad pass. Gretzky can be knocked down with a B check. High attributes just mean that there is a high probability of success for that part of the game. Low attributes means that there is a lower probability of success. Modano will miss the mark on 5 out of 10 shots. Cicc will miss the mark on 1 out of 10 shots. Selanne with his 4 stickhandling will shake 1 out of 10 B checks, while Gretzky will shake 6 out of 10 B checks. Just random numbers up there, but it's just to make a point. That point being, just because you miss a shot, your shooter isn't necessarily cold that game. It's all probability based. Except stuff like Skating, there's no probability there.

I'm out :'( This was a very fun league, I'd love to play again but living on Mars screws me over

I think it's a combination of those 3 things you said bob. Pass rating of the passer is all that matters attribute wise. Hot and cold streaks don't matter as much as home/away advantage. Just momentum in general makes this stuff wacky, even in roms where home/away advantage is nullified there are still games where 90% of the bounces don't go your way (or the other way around). Lastly though, your third point about the position of the receiver. This is important I think. After playing enough you realize that it's a bad idea to pass in some situations because they almost always fail for whatever reason. Like passing to a guy who is 1 foot away from you seems to have less average success than passing to a guy who is a little more spaced out. Just like how passing to a guy from behind him causes the puck to often bounce off the back of his skates. This stuff is really tricky, passing is one of the worst parts of my game by far. Knowing that I am a bad passer, take what I just said with a grain of salt lol. This is just what I think, I don't really know anything though EDIT: Seth told me before the same thing Brutus said a few posts above. About pressing B as the pass receiver causes them to receive the puck better. I messed around with this one time and could never get it to work. To me this sounds like crazy talk, but is this a legit thing?

Yes! Pompous Picard this is the best 1st post ever. I wholeheartedly agree. You're my new favourite man

I'll pay $ to keep trudat at home

1. Detroit 2. Dallas 3. Buffalo 4. Vancouver 5. Los Angeles 6. New York Rangers 7. Chicago 8. Winnipeg 9. Boston 10. Philadelphia 11. Calgary 12. Pittsburgh 13. Montreal 14. Quebec 15. Edmonton 16. Toronto 17. St. Louis 18. New Jersey 19. New York Islanders 20. Hartford I haven't read plabax's above yet, but this is what I think

Teemu is a piece of crap. Not even a top 10 player At least when the going gets tough, that is

If you like that, you should get Ultra Street Fighter 4 for ps4. Even though I suck it's the best

LET'S PAY THIS MAN TO GIVE HIM SOME MOTIVATION. GGPO is really really great

It's a band

^ That video is honestly the best

Angrygay said "I travelled to freaking Saskatchewan for a snes tourney, of course I'm gonna go to this Toronto tourney." I can't remember his exact quote lol but that was the gist of what he said. AJ likes gens more, always has. This tourney is gonna be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it. This kind of drama is exactly what pulled me into the 94 community. Brutus your comments about the gens community being a motley crew are very true. I love this stuff, and glad to see Mcmikey does too. The doc needs some forum drama gold. MrP knows he's the best 94 player ever, and that's why he feels so free to troll like this.

Guys guys guy relax. If I could somehow win gens, I'd be ecstatic. It wouldn't bother me to play the snes winner after, because I'd know that I won what mattered to me (and all the hardcores). The winner just has to play the other winner with a for fun mentality, it's 100% fine. The individual console brackets are the real competitive, fun challenge. The console vs console series is just a fun exhibition for the doc. Have fun with it

Don't worry about P(labax)remium. Even though he tells me that he probably won't go to this tourney, I have a strong feeling that he's gonna be there. Trust me on this one. Also, looking at the pie chart on the sign up page, 13 people said that they can beat kingraph lollllll. Much cocky

You beat me a week earlier with the 2nd best team in the game, against my crappy old Bure, and it took you 7 games. You would've still lost gdl 9 so suck it

If you want people to play with, I'd choose genesis hehe
