Yep, same teams as in 98 and no two line pass annoyance.

Thanks Mack, you beat me to it.

Tony, a two line pass is the most annoying thing in gaming and it doesn't even exist in the NHL anymore. It is a feature that was put in 98 that no other game in the series had. It is defined as an offside pass where a player passes the puck and it crosses two lines before being accepted by another player resulting in a whistle and a faceoff. All you have to do is attempt a long pass in 98 and you will see how it slows the game with unnecessary whistles. I would give just about anything to have this disabled. Here is a screenshot of this atrocity taking place...

Great work Tony! Is there any way that you could look to disable that two line pass annoyance? It is the game in the series that has it.

Just hit ABC start at every screen, it will work...

A B C and start at the start-up screen will get you EA and Renegade teams. As far as using 98, the game speed selection is a great feature but may I suggest 97 based solely on the two line pass aggravation factor.

The one thing that I really loved about 95 was the season mode.

No season mode in 94.

So, I played another game today and I forgot that certain "star" players get these deke moves too. I was playing with Mario and he had this move where he would turn sideways hold the puck and then ultimately get hammered and lose control of the puck. A further example of how EA was trying gimmicks to refresh their NHL titles.

Did anyone like this function? I played a game today with the Flyers and I finished a 5 minute period game with 95 checks! There is something that I don't like about getting the puck at your own net and plowing your way to the opposition's goal while making five body checks in the process. Lindros probably had 50 checks independently. Just a dumb feature, your thoughts?...

96 was far too easy to score in so I don't play it!

This will be extremely helpful in 95 where I believe that stamina is depleted far too fast. Thanks Tony and wboy!

Great work wboy and Tony! Your work and dedication is much appreciated by all in this community. If you are ever in contact with Tony again, ask if there may be a code to disable two line passes. Thanks again!

Thomas Vanek spelled wrong (missing the h) Ryan Miller is #30 Whatcha working on Mack???????????

Has anyone ever added (by hacking) a season mode to NHL94? I have always been partial to 95-98 based solely on season play alone.

There still is two games remaining. You Ranger fans are acting like it's over, remember...you already won two in a row.

First thing, Mack thank you for getting your site back up and running. I downloaded your version of NHL 95 and it's obvious that when you did this the Sabres were still using the angry goat as their logo. I would like to use the original logo and uniform colors from the original game. Is there ans easy way to do this? Thanks in advance

PILE ON MACK! Wow, you people are out of line. He stated that he has an infant, been sick and between hosts. When his site is back, I'm sure he'll notify us.

Thanks, that will be helpful when editing players. That NOSE is just full of little tricks, I'm finding it more fun to edit these games than it is to play them!

Judging by your comments, I should assume that there is no way to remove these, huh?

Thanks wboy, that post is a big help.

Any way to remove these from 98? I am working on a 98 upgrade and while the game is fun as hell to play, the 2 line passes just seem to ruin the game. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the warm welcome IAmFleury'sHipCheck. I am a Gens player using Kega Fusion and I didn't mention this in my intro but I love NHL 95 (I hope I'm not lynched for that)! Yeah, I think 95 against another human is great due to the player control and ease of hitting. Although I am a new member and Sabre fan, I have been trolling the boards for quite a while now.

I highly doubt it, I have used message boards before.

My story... It began with Blades of Steel, I loved the game but I was looking for something more. Then came the NHL series, the vertical play, the speed, the actual players, it was all there..I was hooked! Lately I have been just hacking with thanks to NOSE but I still love to play. Thanks for having me! *Edit* Any reason why this posted three times?*
