  4. What a sad day when NHL95 came out.

    in NHL '95

    Posted

    I said EA has butchered the hockey video game series since '94 and they should go back to the mechanics of '94

    and just add some features like drop pass, block shot and updated rosters.

    I did mention this website NHL94.com on the radio.

    I'm sure all of EA was listen when I was speaking. :blink:

    They have so many employees at EA you would think they could come out with 2 hockey video games a year.

    A '94 engine game and their '09 game where graphics mean more then overall gameplay.

    Like...Like...Mega Man 9 B) !!

  11. Realignment/Scheduling

    No, because then you don't have a league. You have two leagues, which is similar to what we have now, operating under the same rules of play but not the same kind of travel duress.

    My main arguments for one league are this: top 2 teams, regardless of division, could have a chance to meet in the Finals, and the travel woes of the Western Conference could possibly be alleviated. To make no conferences would make the bracket more accurate, and also would even out the imbalance created by 17 Eastern Time Zone clubs.

    Yeah, I understand, but is it really so "practical" ? I mean, one global league is the best solution but the travel / time zones issues are really annoying in this situation. Can you be more precise please ?

    And what would be exactly the Playoffs format ?

    I suggest 4 divisions, 30 divisional games, 40 inter-divisional games, 56 inter-infra-divisional-conferencial games, 89 inter-minor-leagues games...Heck, how could the NHL season structure be so complicated ?? We're still talking about HOCKEY, right ??? As far as I know, hockey is a nice sport with simple rules, so let's make the schedule simple too, at least easy to understand. Forget about the inter-conference games, forget about the divisional games : we've got 30 teams, splitted in two conferences (East and West) of 15 teams. Seriously, what else do we need ? Each team plays 84 games, meeting the other teams in their conference three times at home and three times on the road. Top eight teams in number of points are offered a place in playoffs, with seed advantage for top three teams etc.

    So, convinced :D ?

  17. HOW TO: Edit the scoreboard ?

    to avoid confusion, please attach highlighted examples of ALL the scores your are talking about. I know what exists, but in playoff mode etc. is their definate proof that the Home team is at the bottom in those screens etc.... to justify the change.... if you know what I mean.

    Yeah, sure. Here are the scores to "swap" to Home - Away format :

    The default exhibition match period pause menu.

    And of course the default playoffs period pause menu.

    It's possible! I haven't made notes (so I'll have to work it out again) but below is a screen shot that shows that you can move the x y position of the items, and even make the boxes smaller. The example doesn't have the home/away team initials swapped, but I ensure you it can be done.

    Wow ! This is just amazing !! How did you do that B) ?

    Where are you wanting to use this? In your own hack, or are you wanting others to implement it in their hacks?
    Well, this would be for an own hack but I think it could be also useful if you want to do an international team hack or European leagues one because the standard scoreboard then would be "Home - Away".
    If that is the Euro way, what is the US/Can way. Same as currently in the NHL 94?

    Yeah, absolutely, it's "Away - Home", in any American sport by the way (NBA, MLB, NFL...). But for Europeans like me (I'm French), it's just not "natural". And besides it's not really logical since the Home team is supposedly given the advantage in its own arena. The "Home - Away" scoreboard has been the standard everywhere in the world (even in Australia :lol: )...except in North America. Let's fix it :P

    Well thats what I was talking about. There is something in the code that tells the scoreboard to display the score and banner of the visiting team on the left and the home team on the right. In order to get at that, we would probably need to look at the source code of the game which is just not available to us and quite frankly, probably never will be.

    If there was a way to invert the names on the scoreboard without the source code, it would be very very complicated if it was even possible.

    Yeah but I was really talking about THIS scoreboard :lol: :

    But I guess it's the same thing : source code.

    Hello ! I'm new on this board and first I'd like to congratulate the hackers for what they're doing for NHL 94, the best hockey game so far :) Thanks to make the game's revival possible today !

    My question is : can we edit the default scoreboard in a more "european" way ? I mean, to have "Home - Away" instead of "Away - Home".

    Thanks in advance :lol:
