I've been tinkering with a World Cup of Hockey type of rom, but using only players that are in the base 94 game. So no created players and no modified stats, all players are pulled straight from 94. I was able to produce a beta WC rom a few years ago, with 4F, 3D, and 1G, but now I've been able to refine and expand on the Beta. The beta WC rom has poor jersey shading, and some big names were omitted. Thanks to @kidswasted @McMarkis for pointing me in the right direction with the roms and tools.
8 National/Regional teams. It's not possible to make up 8 different teams from 8 different nations, so some creative license.
Russia (NYR), USA (CHI), Scandinavia (WPG), Czechoslovakia (BUF)
Canada: Pacific (VAN), Prairies (CGY), Ontario (TOR), Atlantic (MTL)
The criteria for team selection was place of birth. Which meant player pools for Pacific and Prairies were limited, compared to the other teams. Notable exception is Irbe playing for the Russians. Allowing this as Latvia is former Soviet Union (?)
The rom attached contains lineups that I think are optimal. Rosters could be updated in the future.
Maybe it's possible to run a World Cup team selection league - haven't thought it through yet. Team Ontario would have lots of tough decision. Team Pacific not so much
Teams consist of 6F, 4D, 1G
Uses the McMarkis no-intro rom
Player card portraits and banner colors are all updated
Jersey notes:
Scandinavia: Finns Away & Swedes Home
Czechoslovakia: Slovak Away & Czech Home
USA: 98 Nagano and Miracle on Ice
Pacific: 2010 Olympics
Prairies: 2014 Olympics
Ontario: 2022 WC
Atlantic: 2002 Olympics
I think all teams can viably win
Top FWD groups: Scandinavia, Russia, and Pacific
Top DEF groups: USA, Ontario, and Prairies
