GDL Practice/Tryout Rom Set

Want to test out players you'd like to potentially draft?

Want to learn the ins and outs of the team you ended up deciding on drafting?

Well now it's easy with this new rom set! I was trying to think of a way to help new players, and I think this can be a good start. It is also useful for vets as well. I've always thought that the 1on1 rom was an underutilized tool for improving your scoring, as well as for improving your control and understanding of your players. Here's the info about this simple rom edit:

- It is an edit of the amazing 1on1 rom, with each player drafted in the first 5 rounds (and half of the 6th round) of GDL 11 being on their own team. Not including goalies.

- So for example the 1st rom consists of the first 28 players drafted. Anaheim has 1.Roenick, Boston has 2.Mogilny, Buffalo has 3.Bure, Calgary has 4.Yzerman, etc etc. This is spread out over 4 roms, so it includes the first 112 players (aka the players that matter).

- Every team has Roy, Fuhr, Hextall, and Hrudey for goalies. This is great because it allows you to try scoring on goalies of all skill levels. You can switch the goalie you're shooting on by plugging in a 2nd controller or configuring player 2 to whatever keys you want on your keyboard.

- I noticed that the original 1on1 rom didn't even out all the advantages, such as home and away, and the differing offensive and defensive advantages that each team holds. So I just made it like GDL by using EARE and evened them all out. Not a huge huge deal but hey why not.

Same old stuff that applies for the original 1on1 rom I'll repeat here for new players so they aren't confused. You can't edit lines, and you can't wait at the Ron Barr screen for more than a couple seconds or it will freeze. This is because the game gets all messed up when it realizes there's only 1 player on each team lol. Just leave the settings as they are, with the 2 player head to head setting on included. It's not really that beneficial to play against a computer player, just leave it on 2 player and feel the freedom of playing alone on the ice. Save a state when you have the puck after a faceoff at center ice for maximum goal practice efficiency. Try to score a certain floater, slapper, deke, pass shot, or whatever, and when you score/miss load the state again and you're ready to try it again in an instant.

I truly believe practicing 1on0 is some of the best practice you can get. This is how you can really figure out how goal scoring works in this game. Yeah you have to be able to trick manual goalies, but being able to score on cpu goalies is how every single goal starts. If the other guy notices you can't score on cpu goalies very well, he'll just choose not to manual and you'll be toast. Learn to abuse cpu goalies in every goal scoring method possible, with all of your forwards, and score every single time. This is the #1 way to improve your results. I used to use the original 1on1 rom quite a bit to learn and practice, really people give it a chance! :D

P.S. New players keep in mind that many of these players are defenceman. This rom can be most useful when you combine it with researching each players attributes

Appreciate all the work put in to these things. Didn't notice Gretzky here though, one of the possible guys I'm aiming at depending on what's left on the table, but I have quite a few possible picks. :)

(nvm. actually he's in the rom as #11 & Selänne #10 =))
