  1. For those of you familiar with the original GDL for '94.

    I figured keeping a very similar structure with this league (If it's not broke, don't fix it).

    - 12 Man Rosters (2 G, 6 F, 4 D)

    - 56 Game Schedule

    - Top 8 from Each Conference make playoffs.

    *If we only get around 16 teams, could either do Top 4 or everyone makes it.

    - 5 Minute Periods

    - Penalties On, No Off-Sides

    - All Penalties, Reduced to ONE (1) Minute. (Including Fighting).

    - Fight timer increased from 40 to 60 seconds.

    - At least Two Bruisers (Fight Rating of 10+) required per team.

    *Maybe have a requirement of at least 1 in Starting Lineup.

    - NHL Teams Allowed (Past and Present)

    Other things to consider:

    - Weight bug fix (yes or no)

    - Conference Names

    - Division Names

    - Freydey/dcicon (GM mode)

    If I'm leaving anything out, please let me know. If we need to create some polls on these topics, I'm all for a democratic process.

    I'm in the process of transitioning the sites over to a free hosting site (to get them off my computer). But since we are getting serious interest, I'm getting closer to dusting off the lotto tumbler.

  2. Rule proposal: How about everyone has to draft a forward and defenceman with a 10+ fight stat. If these players aren't in your starting line-up, then they are placed in the positions that will be immediately subbed in due to penalty or injury (RW2 and RD2?). Perhaps in the rom an "F" could be added to the fighters names for easy identification.

    There are 82 players in the rom with a 10+ fight stat (50F, 32D), of which 20 or so are 1st line options.

    Yeah, I think that is good, have at least two "bruisers" on your team.

  3. Beavers is still having computer issues, and has decided to graciously step aside. He will be placed back on the waiting list. Alonzi was the next in line, but has been unreachable after two days.

    jer_33 is the new coach of the Minnesota North Stars.

    He is all set up on the website, and his AIM name is hockeyboards@gmail.com.

    Best of luck to him on the rest of the season! :)

  4. I have been digging around to try to find these to make a fair teamed ROM for the potential GDL '93.

    Finally, with some copying and pasting, and Smozoma's keen eye for hex code, they were easily found in an excel spreadsheet.

    I believe it was 77 who had success in another post finding the team ratings that show on the Ron Barr screen. These actual team attributes are located in three bytes before those team ratings (with one random byte in between) and look to be in the same format as in NHL '94 (for anyone who has toyed with this in EARE).

    For example:

    Team-ODPKHA ?? TeamRatings

    ASE - 702000 D6 99999099

    ASW- 702000 C7 99999099

    BOS- 331121 E6 67666756

    Offense - 7 is strong, 0 is weak

    Defense - 0 is strong, 7 is weak

    PP - 2 is strong, 0 is weak

    PK - 0 is strong, 2 is weak

    Home - 2 is strong, 0 is weak

    Away - 0 is strong, 2 is weak

    After doing some looking around in the 30 Team ROM, the only difference is that the first team (Anaheim) is listed in a different location (the hex address is where the team info is in NOSE).

  5. well...sorry guys but my life is completely changed for now and i wont be able to play any 94 for about another month,i really want to but ive been workin my ass off n rebuilding my life again.if i can be put onto waiting lists in blitz n gdl that would be nice,i never expected these changes but i will be back and i wont come back again unless i know 100% that i can play regularly.Thanks guys and sorry donch n swos and classic guys for the delays.Take care n long live 94 :)

    Hey Hokkee, some things are more important in life than '94. I hope that with your focus on getting your life back in order, things turn around for you and you can find some normalcy again.

    I'll slide you over to the waiting list, and you know you'll always have a spot in GDL.

    Keep us posted.

    Alright guys, still doing a decent job, but we are falling behind the pace.

    Ideally, the regular season should end in about 2-3 weeks.

    If it's starting to come down to the guys who are really far behind, we do have about 5 guys on the waiting list. I don't want to do it, but we're more than 6 weeks into the season. I'll have to consider replacing guys to get the games in.

    Let's finish up strong. The sooner we get the regular season and playoffs over, the sooner you draft nuts can start drafting again. :)

  7. Maybe an award for most fight-wins, but I'd be against having them affect the standings..

    I agree. I'm going to incorporate an awards race page with all the trophies or something. A Bob Probert Black Eye Award for Fight Wins or something.

    Maybe have a rule where you have to draft 2 "Bruisers" on your 12 man roster (with at least a certain fighting rating requirement) and one has to be in your starting lineup, just to increase the chances for it.

  8. Sorry to be thinking ahead here, but will there be some strategy for the fighters? There aren't many that you would carry on your top-line, so do you sub them in ?

    Totally up for debate, the only thing I've come up with so far to make things interesting is to give extra points maybe for winning fights. So 2 for a win and X amount of points for each fight won. That way you get rewarded for being awesome at fighting, but maybe not at scoring goals. :-P Totally open for ideas though.
