  2. VHL4 Season ROM

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I hate to do this, but I do not believe I can continue with my commitment to this league for two reasons.  

    1) I was recently roped into coaching my son's baseball team, and I honestly know very little about the sport.  My plate is pretty full at this point, and I don't see how I can schedule 40+ games in the near future.

    2) The following statement is an opinion shared by my local peers, and should be taken as such.  I am not a high level player nor pretend to be.  I have been playing the variations of this rom with multiple players in our local scene, players that I would classify as a lower b to c rating for the past couple of weeks.  Routinely in standard NHL94 we see games with scores of 7+ total goals or more, scored any number of ways, slappers, one timers, dekes, rebounds, crease cuts, or random garbage.  While we recognize the enormous work put into this rom, we simply can't score reliably against one another., and it ends up not being any fun for us.  We have frequently entered overtime with no score.  Slappers are almost impossible against the goalies used in the draft, the crease cut only seems to work if the goalie decides to flop.  The defenders always seem to properly bottle things up.  In summary, it doesn't feel or play like the NHL94 we all love.

    I want to extend my deepest and sincerest gratitude and apologies for everyone who helped me pick and arrange my team, and for the team that created this rom.  This is my official resignation from the league.  If anyone wishes to take control of the Blackhawks that was on the fence, I do think it's a solidly equipped team.

    I am available for EXIS on Discord as always.

    Sincerely,

    Trojan

    Landeskog would be my extra forward.

    I'd suggest keeping your 2nd line the same as the 1st, but change your RW to whoever you want to come in in case one of your F goes down with an injury.

    Here's the details on how automatic subs work in the game, but I wouldn't get too technical.  The method above should be good enough for 95% of the situations in the game, unless you're extremely picky on lineups.

    Just in case you have an injured player or a penalty for one of your guys then you can choose the player who comes on the ice for that player.

    You can see what we did for our own lines to make yourself an idea.

    I'm open to suggestions here on what I should do.

    I buy all my stuff from Fall Out Games in Pheonix AZ. Even tho it's crazy far away from me, its the cheapest and best quality. It's where I got all the systems for KO94 (7 Gens / 7 Snes) and all the cables and controllers all pre-tested. Scott Doss who is a manager there is a huge NHL'94 fan and has been helping me out with the doc from the early days.

    Wait a minute, I have like 11 or 12 genesis consoles, and you guys did all that with just 7?

  23. [Mar 25, 2017 - Green Bay, WI] Edge of '94 WI II, Pucks Out For Harambe

    We are currently sitting at 13 commits, with a number of folks in the wings.  While we work hard to find local talent to participate, this tournament is setup to be a destination tournament right in the heart of the Midwest, relatively easy to access from all corners of our continent.

    I had hoped at this point we'd see a larger commitment base from the community at large here, as that's who the tournament was made for.  As of right now, the only NHL 94 community icon coming again is Angryjay93 all the way from California, and retro gaming savant Kevin Cabarello is also coming again.  Coach will not be attending.  There must be at least one person in the neighboring states, or Toronto that could make the trip, but I don't know who you all are yet.  If anyone knows someone that you think would be willing to get in the car/plane and make it out, we'd love to have them.

    We will have a number of new faces at this tournament getting exposed to what NHL94 is all about, or to get re-introduced.

    Regardless of the final number, we are going to have an amazing time, with great food and friends!

    Game on!

    Just a heads up, due to the short turn around of putting this tournament on, and the shop being very busy where we had Lord Manly's Cup originally created, we are not going to be able to get another one made in time for our tournament.

    That being said, Angryjay left the current one in our care, and we will proudly display that.  The winner will have his/her picture taken with that same epic trophy hoisted in the air, along with all of cash prizes that go along with it.
