  2. Checking Success and Weight

    I also have never witnessed that checking increases the odds of a CB. You'd expect some of the 1 checking guys to suck at CB checks, and I've never noticed that.

    I had no issues checking w/ Coffey in C/b.  I've not witnessed Raph's perception of better C/b with higher checking.

    I think @kingraph is correct. The checking rating seems to make a difference.

  3. Checking Success and Weight

    Body checks work 99% of the time if the checker is two points lighter than the receiver. The exceptions to this are when the receiver has high stick handling (5 or 6), when the receiver has a strong enough home advantage and >=4 stick handling. 

    Sometimes a check just won't have any effect at all. I'm not sure what causes this, but it's a lot more common when you play against the CPU. That is what I consider to be the remaining 1%.

    Anyone can check anyone, but if the general rule doesn't apply, I'd say it's about a 15% chance.

    Also, body checks should be done with enough distance between the players. If you are too close when you start your check, you will just brush up against your opponent. When you are very close to someone you want to check, watch the legs of your player, and start your body check when you are on your back leg so you can get enough momentum. This doesn't apply to ALL situations, but usually you can tell when you are too close to body check.

    Raph summed up the rest.

    Now that we have an efficient way to record with Windows 10, we can easily make videos from .krec files. Does anyone have any notable .krecs they would be willing to share? Maybe someone out there is willing to upload them to YouTube.. who knows

  7. Plablegs 3 or ???

    Any chance we can play more games this season?  Plablegs 2 seemed like it was over before it started.  Ditto for VHL.  I feel that 2 games against each opponent is just not enough.

    I feel that it starts to feel like a chore (for some people) when you have to play so many games.

    If you think I would do something like that in the playoffs let alone a final you would be mistaken. King is on another level than the majority of coaches here especially having Belfour. We can all pick up different things when we play him. 

    You have me convinced.. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

  15. NHL '93 AI > '94 AI

    in NHLPA '93

    I think the NHL '93 AI is much better than the NHL '94 AI, as in '93 you can't expect to score off some terrible cross crease goals in every play, the defense plays much better, the goalies play much better, and every game is a challenge. I will not lie NHL '94 is the better game, but '93 is the game that's harder to win in.

     

    I think he goalies are a lot better in NHL '94. It's possible you aren't very good at deking the goalies. 

    I remember we used to have a '93 league, and it wasn't extremely rare to score 20 goals in a game.

    I THINK these are the ratings for '96.  I grabbed them from an old dynasty league where we had player ratings from 94-98.  I assume they were direct pulls from the ROM, but I'd spot check this to make sure since I didn't pull them myself:

     

    NHL96 Players.csv

    The actual ratings are correct, but I think some of the positions may be wrong.

  21. 2017 NHL'94 bud of the year!

    I'm a dude with a very little brain indeed && as such, I can't afford to get dumber, but I feel every time I read one of your rants I somehow manage to become so.  Troll somewhere else .  There is no club.  It's just you by yourself because you have to be the biggest douche I've ever crossed.

    i understand where you are coming from, but I think tru makes a good point. The runner-up list excludes people that aren't a part of a select list. Look how halifax deliberately didn't put me on the list (again). With AJ and kingraph having bud of the year awards, I would definitely have one too if my reputation weren't tainted.

  24. NHL’94 SUPER NINTENDO HIGHLIGHTS

    I would  be happy to come play in a 3 day LIVE event but that may be a tough sell as we can't get everybody to a 1 day event.

    The second argument is ridiculous, The World Cup?  The Olympics?  are very small samples.

    In fact all major sports PLAYOFFS are small samples.  Why not make the Presidents Trophy winner the Stanley Cup winner.  It is a much larger sample of excellence.

    How about the 18-0 Patriots obviously better than the NYG, but the NYG are Super Bowl Champs and that is what matters.

    The World Cup and Olympics are only considered to be premier events because of hype and tradition. They are established, prestigious events that bring out the best of the best and have this aura of being the "best". The prestige in winning them comes from the fact that the events are held in high regard. However, you can't go around talking about being the best because of a World Cup or an Olympic Gold Medal. There are other events that determine who the best really are because the format is better at doing so. In the case of the Super Bowl, there is no alternative.

    While major sports playoffs are small samples, they are large enough. You could make the President's Trophy winner the Cup winner too.

    When it comes to playing NHL 94, there's nothing more "real" than a live tournament with real money and bragging rights at stake.

    I agree... however how you play it is more important. You guys are playing in a live tournament but under what rules? Coin flips and best-of-one or three series? How do you gain bragging rights from playing like that? What is there to brag about? Why not play blindfolded or play first goal wins.. it wouldn't matter because it would be in person, right?

    #1 King of 94 is awesome.
    #2 Very little drinking.
    #3 The hanging out together is great.
    #4 It is the Premier Event/Title you can win in 94.
    #5 It is kinda like a 12 year old birthday party (which is awesome)
    #6 What format would you propose for people traveling from all over the USA and Canada.
    #7 I would love to see you come to one as you are obviously one of the best players in the World. (For what that is worth:haha:)

    I'm sure the King of '94 is awesome. I don't like how people are acting as if it's the World Cup of NHL '94. I don't see how it can be the Premier Event to win in NHL '94 because of the format.

    Why not make the tournament three days and have all round-robin matchups best of 3, then have everyone who advances past it everyone play best-of-5 or best-of-7? Also, let people choose their teams maybe... Anyone can win King of '94 with the current format. That's why the winners are not even community members.

    Come'on plabs, do not speak of what you do not know. Live games without question produce the best results.

    JeffBC is taking it over the top IMO (Adam lost a 1 goal game for the money).

     

    Playing live games does produce the best results, but you need to play enough games. A small sample size does no good, and the King of '94 produces a very small one. BobK and Jamil had a max of just seven games combined through winners and losers even though they played in Grand Finals and reset the bracket. That's ridiculous. The equivalent for many other competitive video games would be fifteen games (3x best-of-five going to game five), which is more than double of what King of '94 offers.
