Idea for next update: take nhl16 v7.bin and just update the rosters. Gameplay is funfunfun in it. Sleeve stripes on Kings unis should be white on the black jersey, black on the white jersey, if possible.

"My guys"= my team, not just the player I am controlling. Changing player ratings DOES affect gameplay. Defensive awareness and Offensive awareness are 2 examples. How can you not know what 'control response' means? It means how your controlled player responds to your pressing the buttons, for example, passing the puck, checking, Directional controls work fine, btw. For a fast paced game such as hockey, there can't be any delay. For the LA Kings home ice, I do like the crown at center ice. THAT is what belongs on their jerseys in reality, imho. Not that goofy LA shield.

In your midseason 16.8.bin update, my guys are pretty poor defensively, less agile,less accurate shooters than your previous update, 16.7.bin. At the same time, the cpu controlled opponents on any team are playing like the 1980s Edmonton Oilers jacked up on Espresso and Mountain Dew! Not fair, not fun. Control response needs tightening also. 16.7.bin plays great,btw and should be the basis for 16.9.bin. with 16.8 you tried to fix too much, and broke it. Right Wing slapper from the top half of the slot, return the likelihood of it please. I hope you test updates prior to posting.

Liking this ROM a bunch, good job!

I tap my stick in respect and appreciation, Skip. This ROM is a blast to play. Glad you never change the goal siren. Would it be possible to put the fans in the home team colors, and a few in the visitor's colors? Create Player would be cool.
