Use the rom attached to this post for all games from now on. There was an issue where Toronto had Dmitri Kvarlnttov rather than Dmitri Khristich. Quite a difference. It has been fixed in the DB as well as the ROM.
-
The uploading is enabled and the db should be working properly. Use the new ROM (it's in the other topic), and look at the boxscores after. Make sure it all adds up correctly, and that the proper players got the points. If it doesn't, PM me immediately.
Happy playing.

Not dead, coming back. It's all about getting MS Access so I can change the DB, but getting the CD for this turned out to be suprisingly difficult. Luckily a buddy of mine said he can help me out, although i'm starting to get impatient.
Take a look at the schedule and feel free to play games with the new rom, and just hold on to the save states.
-
Way ahead of you HABS. OpenOffice won't open the DB file correctly for some reason or another.
-
The change itself is quick, but finding my CD to install Microsoft Access so I can make the change is proving difficult. I'll have it up before the weekend, i'll just steal buddy's CD if worst comes to worst.

Something came up with my family and I apologize for the lack of activity lately. I just have to make one quick change to the DB and then uploading will work.
With summer rolling around quickly hopefully we can wrap this up before everybody starts to head out to enjoy the weather.

The thing is with sliders in the game you can make it less sim and more arcade. NHL 2K series has this down pretty good, you can make go from one extreme to the other. Hardcore sim, or crazy fast paced arcade.
Hopefully EA follows suit with more sliders.
-
..Yes, well, how embarassing. NOW use the attachment.
Also got ahold of Shifty. Uploading will be enabled shortly.
-
ALL games must now be played using the rom attached to this post. It seems as if ALL games have been played up until the deadline, so there will be no DNPs. For now, because uploading is disabled and I can't enable it without talking to shifty, the best you can do is play your games and hold onto the save states until it's enabled.
-
Still can't access the FTP without the password/username from Shifty.
EDIT: To elaborate on this, all the games are on the schedule and the neccesary changes have been made to the DB. Uploading is still disabled however and I can't make it enabled until I get the FTP info from Shifty. However, you CAN start playing games and holding onto the save states.
-
Very doubtfull.
-
or he will fail terribly and be a bum cause of the montreals atmospehere
Montreals atmosphere is not any worse than Toronto's. Fans are rabid in both places. No, Sundin would do excellent in MTL. He just needs some better linemates so he doesn't have to one man it so much.
-
Apologies for the wait, my computer has a big crash today and I had to spend hours getting it back to working with a fresh install. Unfortunately in the process I lost a few files. Thankfully the rom isn't one of them, or the DB, but I did lost my FTP program so I need the password again from Shifty. When that happens, i'll open the uploading and games can start to be played. I'll release the rom right away, just gotta make sure it's all good.

Looks great, i'm fine with being in A.

Sure toss me in.

s**t, i've been caught. Nah, i've always liked a bit more of a sim feel in games, I have to admit. Not to mention you can basically make it into an arcade game with the sliders.
As for simplified controls, I get that. The control system they have is great but it's not something you can pick up and learn how to use in 5 minutes, you have to play with it for awhile to get used to it, which is no big deal. But say you have a buddy over who wants to play but rather than kick his ass while he figures out how to use the controls he can just use a really simple layout. Small but nice addition. Granted NHL 09 will be way more of a sim feeling than an arcade feeling, it's all about preference I suppose, and I like it to be a little more sim. Plus again, sliders.
Controls are not that complex. Play NHL 2K8, now that's complex. You have 2 thumbsticks and I think 2 or 3 other buttons to use. Just takes playing a game or two with to get used to it.
Online 3v3 was a blast I thought. Mostly everybody locks into a position now and that makes it crazy fun.
We'll see when it comes out I suppose.
-
It's third person...I'd assume it would focus on the puck, or you could have some sort of free look option.
-
08 had some slight bugs but it was still a great game
-
Are you still sticking around to run it now or does Bo have the reigns?
-
Put down the torches guys, i'm serious here. Now NHL 08 was a terrific game (Assuming you picked it up for the 360 or PS3 and not the horrible PC and PS2 versions). I went as far to say that it ALMOST surpassed NHL 94. Smooth controls, great deking, a bit more of a sim feel than an arcade feel, but I prefer that. The biggest gripe was the defense was weak compared to the offense, some standard elements (fantasy draft as an example) were left out for no good reason, and oh my christ the posts were hit at least twice a minute.
Fast foward to NHL 09.
Defensive Skill Stick
NHL 08 gave you true offensive prowess with the Skill Stick, and this year we're giving you the power to stop it. Block passing lanes with 360° control of your stick or kill an opponent's one timer game by lifting their stick just before they receive a pass.
This is huge. No longer can you pass to a guy right beside the other teams defenseman and he'll one timer it in. Lifting up the stick? s**t yeah. Block passing with a 360 degree control of it? s**t yeah.
Be A Pro
NHL 09 will put you on the ice with a dynamic new 3rd person camera as you play the role of one player on a team. Our Performance Tracker will rate your play in over 50 categories, to make sure you know what parts of your game need to improve
Be A Pro starts your career off in the ranks of the AHL and challenges you to become one of the best in the NHL. Your very own hockey card will mark your progress, from your rookie beginnings to a potentially legendary ending.
An absolutely brilliant addition, I believe it's been in madden already and that mode was great fun. You'll only be playing when you're on the ice for a shift, and I assume when you're on the bench it will skip until your next shift (or at least have it for an option). I know for sure i'll waste hours playing this mode.
Create-A-Play Breakouts
The ice is your canvas and it's up to you to paint a winning strategy in both online and offline play. Create breakout plays from your own zone or set up behind your net and tell your right winger to look for the flip dump from the defenseman
The create-a-play in 08 was great. I made a few plays that worked pretty well and looked slick when I could pull it off. But it was missing breakouts, so it's nice to see this fixed up.
One-handed Dekes
NHL 09 adds another weapon to you offensive arsenal - the one handed deke. When you are skating in on a breakaway tap the puck to one hand and tuck the puck behind a sprawling goalie for the ultimate finish.
Time to Forsberg some goalies.
Check Hard and Fight
An All-new physics-based checking and fighting engine featuring more than 300 new animations brings a higher-level of intensity to the game. Watch players reach for the ice to soften their fall or simply get laid out on their back when you catch them with their head down in open ice. Circle your opponent, grab his jersey and settle a mid-game score.
The more animations the better. I'm just hoping they fixed it so you can injure/get injured on something OTHER than a hip check.
Take your game online with 6 vs.6 team play, where 12 people can play together on 12 different consoles around the world. With new teams from the Russian, Czech Republic and German Elite leagues, NHL 09 connects hockey fans around the globe like never before.Imagine playing a game where every player on the ice is a human. This is great, if you can look pass the fact that you'll see some idiots going end to end when they're supposed to be on D. And the more leagues the better.
Now, diehard 94 fans, if you're still unwilling to believe this game could finally upstage 94, it's important to take note that EA knows they're going to have a hard time, but they do listen. Thusly...
NHL 94 Controls
Hit, pass, shoot, and score using the simplified two-button control system featured in NHL 94. Now even players new to the game can challenge the best of the best.
I recommend everybody goes and picks up this game in September.
-
No need to be hostile sun, I just meant regarding a couple replacements you told me about, specifically the guy who had more or the same amount of games played as mostly everybody else in the league, but you hadn't seen him for a few days (not all that long) and because he had a bad record you just assumed he was inactive and replaced him. Seemed kind of harsh is all.

and so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Alright then. Like I said, if it works, it works.

I'll be gone until the 28th. Now that summer is here in full force I don't expect there to be a lot of activity, but hopefully it won't take too long to wrap up the season.
