I would say: Step 1: Make a near perfect clone. Step 2: Make sure it is bug free, and plays like NHL94 was supposed to Step 3: THEN add enhancements I even think the pixel art angle is cool. I vote for keeping it pixelated!

Hey Eman, you should try the juiced teams in Coach Mac's Hockey Night Roms ! I much prefer playing these superstar teams rather than pulling my goalie and various other handicapping tricks.

Hello, and welcome! Fastest way to get started is here: Test Games and Getting Connected!

I gave you a "Like", please stay!

Dude, if you want to play online with people that share your love of the game, give online play a chance. Don't know who peed in Premium's Corn Flakes, but it is hella fun playing online. (It is worth nothing, in fact, he played online for years!) One ROM hack allows 2 versus 2, so it is nonstop action. You can play in leagues, or you can just play pickup games for fun.

Welcome, DCB! This is the place to be for NHL94. You should try some online games while you are here!

May Prices:

Thanks for posting those deals, J&J. Yeah, the prices I am indicating are from hotels.com and I check the "Free Cancellation" box... IMO it is too risky and restrictive to book without being able to cancel. (You will be kicking yourself if you get locked in, and then the week of the event see rooms at the same spot for $30 or something similar! Or if there is a medical or family emergency and you end up paying (even partially) for something you don't use.)

You know, I plan on staying at a place that has no resort fee. Resort fees are a total scam. I have indicated in the original post the No Resort Fees with a ✝ to make it easy to see... There are 4 in the area: ✝Fremont Hotel and Casino ✝Four Queens Hotel and Casino ✝California Hotel & Casino ✝Main Street Station Hotel & Casino Of course, ideally The Grand will waive the fee... not sure if the special rate ever came through? Their Resort Fee is $23. (Why on earth does hotels.com and similar sites not include this fee in the final rates that they show?)

The off season? Ha, truth be told I am not a hockey fan. I just like playing NHL94. I haven't watched an NHL game in years, which is ironic, cuz I live in Toronto, a true hotbed of hockey.

Welcome Turcos and Oliver, to get games in see here: Test Games and Getting Connected As for Turcos's question about SNES hacks, you should start a thread in the Hacking subforum to get answers... people are less likely to see your query buried in this I'm New thread.

Humility.

Ok I am back online. Played some games, things seemed to work ok. (Got some spikes with Kingraph.) One concern is that I did a speed test, and it came out: 25 mbps DL, 2.5 mbps UL. That is, my upload is literally 10x slower than my download. I have DSL, and it is (was?) a decent package. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be 25/10... not sure if my current slow upload will cause problems for me?

The arguments about how fast you can do something using saved gamestates is silly... it factors out skill and focuses on having the time (and OCD?) to do something absurd. Legitimate entries should not allow this. (Short of video taping the event in real time to be reviewed, I am not sure how to prevent saving gamestates though?) Now, how long would it take someone to score 10 goals on a Gens without saving gamestates? With the user choosing teams (like DET vs ANH)? I would say anything less then 3 minutes is good, and less than 2:30 is amazing! 2:30 would average out to 15 seconds per goal. Pretty good. I imagine if you got extremely lucky, and had weeks to kill, had OCD (among other mental issues), and won pretty well every face off, you might even crack 2 minutes (12 sec per goal). Now, for 10 sec/goal average, that is 1:40, and I do not think this would be statistically possible even with all the luck and weeks of attempts. Edit: I just can't let this go... I think to crack 1:40 you really would have to win every face off. If faceoffs are assumed to be 50/50, you will win 10 in a row roughly 1 in a thousand attempts (where each "attempt" is a set of 10 tries). I don't think any non Rain man human would have the patience to restart over and over every time the lost a faceoff... but if they did, I think it would take many months or years to crack 1:40...

The Bell guys have left. They restored everything for 2 other houses, and all of the apartments in the house I live in, but not my apartment! They are sending a (supposedly) "senior" guy out tomorrow, and I will be missing work for this now. I am a contractor and get paid by the hour. I asked the tech guys if they ever heard of a neighbor cutting cables like this, and they said "Nope". Sometimes vandals cut cables, but this is the first time a "friendly neighbor" saw fit to do something like this. Apparently there were 6 juicy, live cables on his property, all tied together very orderly, and he cut away a 15' swatch from a utility pole all the way to the house beside his. He made sure his own property was completely "cable free", and didn't think how this might impact his neighbors. Unbelievable.

Yesterday morning, my Bell telephone (land line), internet (Teksavvy) and Cable TV (Rogers) all went dead. As if a tree fell and took them all out. I went outside to see if there was anything amiss. Nope. I called Bell, and made an appointment for a technician to come by the next day. Now it is the next day. The tech came by an hour ago, and found the problem quickly: My idiot neighbor severed 15 feet of cables that crossed his property. He didn't like them for whatever reason, so away they went. After the fact he thought to ask another neighbor if they were using them. Er, Yes!! Now 3 houses do not have phones, internet or cable TV. WHAT AN EFFIN MORON!!! I know the guy, and he is a nice guy. But I can't get over "What the hell was he thinking?" Who chops cables that cross their property? In this case, they were buried a foot in the ground, well out of the way. WTF?!? Who does that? This poor guy was diagnosed with stomach cancer last summer. I can't help but think he is stressed out and not thinking straight. But still? Bell is trying to put a temporary cable up, which will restore my DSL, but there are no guarantees for a quick turnaround. Until my internet is back, no NHL94 for me.

Gotta love the real life comradery around our favorite game. Always more fun to play to a crowd, or even just to see your opponent so you can psychologically torment them (and vice versa).

For charging to the net and doing a deke, I wonder about 5 seconds... I would like to see video evidence. (Not saying I 100% disbelieve, just saying I need proof.) 6 seconds for sure. We have all done it, I think. I think Plabax is talking about a pass from center ice right off the face off. I am not sure how quick it is, but yeah, I think faster than 5 seconds. Again, let's see some video!

Ok, I embedded it on the bottom of the page: http://nhl94rocks.com/tourney.php?tId=2

Sure, but can we just make a link to it? Or do you want the whole thing embedded like it is in the first page of that thread? If yes, ok, we can put it below everything on the Surviving Summer League standings/upload page.

Additionally, once you click the "plus", you can see game details and stats by clicking the grey "Details" button to the right of each game. You can also delete a game with the "X".

You can put your gamesaves on NHL94rocks.com here: http://nhl94rocks.com/tourney.php?tId=2 The site is a bit of a Frankenstein's Monster, as Atomic and I made it for saving own exis, but have now opened it to others, and have continually adapted it to do more and more. We are open to feedback, and improving it. So let us know any technical issues, or suggestions in this thread! We will do our best to improve things, if time and interest allows.

Yeah, I am still wrapping my head around the rules. And I am sure, like Tex, there will be mixups. But I like the idea behind it all! It is cool to play different teams, and also cool to handicap the best guys. It is not complicated, really. But we are just used to following a set schedule, using the same team, where no thought is necessary whatsoever, you just play your game, either home or away. We just need to get in the groove here. (With new rules, new ROM and new site.)

Site is live and functional for the 12 coaches that are currently registered. Big thanks to Atomic for setting it up. If you have tech issues, post in this thread. You must use the correct ROM made by Coach for it to work. Login and add your games to: http://nhl94rocks.com/tourneyList.php Good luck!
