  2. NCAA 11 League Interest/Ideas/Team Selection

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    Love WCHA Hockey and I may have to try my hand at an online league again. Pencil me in for St Cloud State. Have to get some test games going here shortly to see if my new cpu will be better apt to handle online.

    I would lean towards accurate ratings, but like kupuck19 said it would be hard to get an accurate ratings. If we did even teams might be kind of fun to have some odd ball ratings for players. Like a great one-timer player with 0 attributes in everything else. Just a thought.

  4. Do you have an nhl94 nostalgic moment?

    Those boards are great! Love the drawings. I wish I could go back in time and find the old notebook brackets I did when I was a youngster. All we have of those days are legends and folklore.

    My early memory was actually of NHL 92. All night 6th Grade Slumber Party played that game so long my sleep deprived eyes stopped working and the players looked like they were melting on the screen. And no we weren't on drugs, just JOLT cola.

  6. What makes 94 better than 95?

    Sorry if this is a noob question, but this is my first post. Me and 3 of my friends play NHL 95 religiously. We play seasons, single games for money, etc. We pretty much stick to using Vancouver, NYR, or Chicago. I always say we're probably the best NHL 95 players in the world, and then I found this website.

    I've read about your passion for 1994, and I was wondering what makes 1994 so much better than 1995? We have 1994 and we tried playing it, but we all hate it. The main complaint is it just feels so "loose" and its hard to precisely control your players as compared to 1995 which feels a lot more polished and allows more precise player movements. Also, One-Timers go in at a far higher rate in 1994 than they do in 1995. Sure, in 1995 its easy to destroy an Auto-Goalie, but we just play Manual and its fine.

    So I am wondering as to what you guys would say I am missing? One thing I did notice is that in 1995, passing is far too inconsistent and sometimes passes just fly nowhere or right to the other team. What else am I missing? Thanks!

    I agree with you on most of the above statement. 95 is probably my favorite video game of all time but think 94 is also a great game. I think they perfected passing in 94.

    I think the two main reasons why 94 is considered better

    1. It came first, people were used to this style of play and they kept building and improving that engine from 92-94 and when there was an overhaul to the engine changing graphics, controls and game play in 95 many people did not like the change

    2. (and I think the biggest reason why this website is so successful) NHL 95-98 on the genesis can't play online without a bunch of problems. The games desync and a high rate which makes it frustrating. I tried and failed starting a couple online 95 leagues.

  10. License Preference

    Well an official hockey game I guess you got to go NHLPA.

    Always thought a college hockey game would be cool, but definitely not a big enough market for that.

    But since you already have an official hockey games out there, I think a fictional arcadey type of game would be cool. But not unlock power up shots arcadey, Tecmo Super Bowl Arcadey where you would play a season teams would get progressively harder.

    Had a NES as a youngster and besides Tecmo, the other sports games that got the most playing time were Ice Hockey, Punch out, Baseball Stars and Dusty Diamond All-Star Softball. They were great games and did not have real players.

  14. How many controllers have you broken from frustration playing NHL94?

    At the tourneys we do many a controller has lost their life. Mainly from button mashing rather than controller smashing. I picked up a bunch of new in the box sega controllers on ebay that were probably made 10 years ago. I found that they broke even quicker. I am guessing the reason is that the plastic/rubber got brittle over time.

    Also any controller that dies is brought back to life as a trophy. The cord is cut and spraypainted a golden hue

    Thanks for the info I'll try that.

    Segathon is still alive and kicking, still manging to meet 4 times a year for the tourneys. Our biggest hurdle was finding a place to host it each time, none of us are renting the old college houses to trash so no one wants their place to smell like old beer and have holes in the walls
