    Hey man. I want to start off by saying that this is my absolute version of the yearly NHL 94 rom - I greatly appreciate the fact that you continue to push out a new release every year - the amount of hard work you put in is extremely evident. 

    Do you anticipate putting out any more updates to this rom this year? I wasn't sure if I was the only one, but I've noticed more freezing/crashing menu problems than compared to previous years and I was hoping there was still a chance those might be fixed. If not, I am not complaining, thanks again for all the great work you do! 

    -Sean

    I'm gonna put out an update in a few days actually!

    Unfortunately it won't do anything for freezing/crashing in the menu. That's something with the 32-team ROM that's beyond my expertise. There's a known bug if you cycle through the player cards for one of the last teams it makes the game freeze. It's WPG maybe?

    Is there excel sheet for stats available?

    I didn't make one, but I believe there is a roster exporter to excel tool somewhere on these forums.

    Finally it's here! I have a question though: What do you use to decide ratings? I know it isn't an easy task.

    I consider a lot of different sources. Partially just my impression from being an avid hockey fan, but I really rely on individual player scouting reports from http://www.sportsforecaster.com/nhl/players

    When I dive deep into a player I'll look at their advanced stats or look at their charts on hockeyviz (which I am subscribed to). A lot of time points totals dictate a guys offensive awareness rating, goal totals and shooting accuracy drive shooting ratings, I have ballpark overalls I target as to how it should all add up.

    For instance:

    Forwards:
    90+ -- MVP contender
    80+ -- Solid all star
    75+ -- standout player
    70-75 -- first or second liner
    65-70 -- second, maybe third liner
    60-65 -- 3/4th liner
    60 or lower -- 4th liner or fringer NHLer

    Defense:
    80+ -- elite
    70+ -- solid all star
    65+ -- very good
    60-65 -- solid but not spectacular
    54-60 -- average
    50-54 -- below average
    50 or lower -- bottom of the lineup guy

  3. This may help some people, or just be convenient for any modder. It's an xml file that is a bunch of bookmarks in TileMolester for the 32-team rom template.

    To use, download the file and put it in the resources folder of your tilemolester install. RENAME it so the name of the xml is exactly the same as the name of rom you are editing.

    Then open tilemolester and open up your rom. To edit something, go to the top menu, Navigate and choose what you want to edit. After that, go to Palette and choose the corresponding palette for what you are editing. Voila, never look up a hex address again.

    (For the palette bookmarks, if it says 'p2' or another number, load the palette, then hit the right arrow at the bottom menu to go to the 2nd page of bookmarked palette)

    I hope this helps!

  4. Okay, maybe old news by now, but here's a THIRD NHL 2019 rom for the community.

    All the usuals:
    -Updated lineups from opening day (best case scenario lineup, with injured players and holdouts in lineup)
    -Updated uniforms with sprite hack
    -Player portraits for all NLC starters
    -Updated center ice logos per frozenfaceoff
    -Weight bug fix, reduced speed burst effect, smoz 3 star formula

    Perhaps what separates this rom from others is that I really try to maintain the player ratings spread from the original rom. That means 3rd line players rated in the 60s, 4th liners in the 50s. Any defensemen that breaks 60 OVR is a solid defenseman (the average dman OVR rating in the original rom is about 50). See for yourself:

    Comments and corrections are appreciated!

    EDIT: Quick re-up with some goalie fixes and updates

    When you are using NOSE to edit rosters, please make sure you update the number of F and D on the team. This can be done by hitting the "Apply" button on the menubar. If you do not do this, the game will think there are 15 defensemen (F in hex) available. I'm not sure how this will affect gameplay (it probably won't), but please do this step, especially if you want to use the offline stat extractor program (to be released soon!)

    I don't think F or D designation effects gameplay on the ice, but if you go to edit lines in-game you won't be able to choose from players designated F for the D slots (and vice versa).

  6. I have a WIP for NHL 2019 and I'll just put it up here for people to fart around with.

    It has all the free agent signings and trades so far, although obviously it will be 3 months rosters, numbers, uniforms, etc... are finalized for real and can be properly updated in the ROM. Player ratings will be tweaked over the next few months, but for now this is perfectly playable if you really want to use Tavares on the Leafs or other summer moves.

    ONLY PLAY WITH LINE CHANGES OFF!

  7. A while back I was curious as to looking at how players were rated in the original NHL 94, so as to keep my hacks more or less playing like the original ROM. I made these charts but never had a moment and organization to upload them, but here they are now. The zip files contains images for the distribution of each player attribute, skater and goalie. The groups are further separated by offense/defense, and starter/backup for goalies.

    I won't clutter up the post with all 22 images, but it's crazy seeing how low the overalls are. Nearly every backup goalie is rated between 40-50 overall! About 45% of defensemen are ~48 OVR, and about 30% of forwards are the same. Only about 15% of forwards break 80 OVR.

    There's lot of little tidbits you can find as well:

    -Fs and Ds aren't rated all that differently in most categories, but D are better hitters, with WAY worse shooting accuracy
    -About 80% of D have either a 2 or 3 on speed (FYI, original rating scale was 1 - 6, with 6 being 99 in game, and 3 being 40-60 in game)

    I can't say I match these distributions in my ROMs, but I think it's interesting to look at.

    True, but I didn't edit his ROM... I edited yours/Skips which doesn't have the sprite patch.  I give you a shout out in the game scrolling credits as well as the post on this site.  :)
    It's when I add it to your 2018 version that the problem occurs.  I'm looking for some advice on how to overcome it as there are no searchable instructions.  I believe he may have started with your 32 team ROM as well and then added the patch.  Just guessing...

    I honestly don't remember what I did, but taking the 32-team ROM and applying the sprite patch sounds about right.

    Hey @naples39

    Aweosme job on your ROM (as usual).  I am curious...how did you get certain helmets to be the correct colors?  Do you edit them in NOSE/Hex or in TM?

    I do them in NOSE, also with the clockwise sprite hack. There might have been some tweak to NOSE (or the reference images it uses), but I set it up a while ago and barely remember.

  10. Alright bros, updated ROMs in first post.  Two roms, one the usual deadline, the other with outdoor uniforms for Caps/Leafs, Sens/Habs, and Sabres/Rangers.

    Things updated:

    -Mittelstadt to BUF
    -Tolvanen to NSH
    -Updated Caps jersey (change template, darker red)
    -Updated Caps arena name

    -EDIT - Forgot to add that it also fixes NSH's gold helmet

    Ok, I read in this thread that you made a WC rom last fall, so I asked if you already uploaded it or if you could do it again please, because I would love to play it.

    It's not about the olympics, no worries. Thanks.

    Whoops, I mis-read upload as update.

    The World Cup rom is still here:

    @naples39 could you please upload your World championship rom please?? I would be happy to play it!!! Thanks a lot!!!

    I'm not sure what that 'update' would be. The World Championship is over and done, and the 2018 Olympics are entirely different uniforms, teams, and rosters.

    I am definitely not interested in making a ROM based on this Olympics that I didn't watch with a bunch of players I've never heard of.

    The Capitals now play at Capital One Arena, not the Verizon center.  I tried to fix this myself, but I couldn't figure out the hex code to make the stadium text 3 characters longer. 
    Also the shoulders of the Capitals home jerseys should be red not white.

    Did you know that in the main menu there is junk text under the names of the players in the player cards for Washington and Winnipeg?  It says Record///Goals by 3333333 vs. 3333333  my guess is it has something to do with increasing the teams from 28 to 31, but it is weird that Vegas isn't affected by it.

    1) I will correct the Caps arena name if I do an updated release of this ROM.

    2) It's impossible to accurately re-create the Caps current jerseys in NHL94, so it's more art than science about what feels right. I'm open to changing it, but there's no right answer. Here's 3 different looks that I could do (one on left is in the current rom).

    3) That's likely a bug in 32-team rom. Vegas is team 29 in this rom, Caps 30, 'Peg 31 (32 unused).

    Why is it every time I want to do a playoffs as the Penguins it puts me in the western Conference? I'm also always playing the Wild in the first round. This has to be a bug. 

    It's not so much a bug as it is an unsupported feature.

    When you edit a rom, the playoff matchups have to be set manually. I simply didn't take the time to set them!

  15. I often like making things like this (did World Championship last fall), but I just don't have much interest in this tournament. 

    Also rating all the unknown players would be a nightmare and arbitrary. 

    Doing trade deadline update to NHL rom will keep my busy enough, I think.
