smozoma Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Do I qualify? More of an A-/B+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others are cool with it, you can draft a team in the bottom half, since you are not an A+ like Depch, Raph and Ice. But, if you want the challenge, you certainly can take a bottom 5. Up to you.

aqualizard Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Coach has (tentatively) agreed to make a ROM based on the Classic ROM that has these characteristics: 1. the patch that makes Hot and Cold correct (so the player ratings are real) 2. the patch that does not count body checks after whistle 3. make OT 99 minutes These changes do not impact the gameplay of the Classic ROM. They just help with stats, and avoiding tie games. Looking to start league in a week, aiming to wrap up before March 1.

Haha, I will not take TB or SJ, they are much better than the bottom 3. I'll roll with either Anaheim (KASATONOV/YAKE), Florida (MURPHY/HYNES) or Ottawa (ERMMMMM). In that order.

CoachMac Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I will make the rom and also include some improved graphics (Sticktape and Eye fix, Logo Sponsor, Splash Screens, etc...) if that is ok with Aqua. Again it will remain Classic physics and rosters. Can someone point me to how to not count checks after the whistle. Also let all 5 of them in and why no playoffs?

aqualizard Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Ok couple things: 1. There is a draw to see who picks who, so I have no control over who picks what team, or more importantly (it seems), who Raph picks!! 2. There is a slight issue because we have 5 A guys with Smozoma and FPB I hope it is ok if we keep both of them, and have 9 guys (5 A and 4 B and each of us plays 2 more games for 16 total.) This is meant to be a very casual and fun league... don't want to make it work or un-fun for anyone. I will assume that is cool unless someone protests in this thread.

CoachMac Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Depch = ANA Raph = FLA Ice = SJ or TB Smoz = SJ or TB FPB = OTT Coach = DET My 2 cents I would also prefer to be known as a deplorable than a pauper Edited February 8, 2017 by CoachMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualizard Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hey Coach, the ROM is your domain! Thanks a lot for that! Graphics and whatever you see fit on that front sounds cool! I really appreciate it. As for the team selection, I need to make an Executive Decision and say let's stick to a draft. That is the fairest thing. Hopefully you will be first seed in the B draft, and Raph gets last seed in the A draft! (But if that doesn't happen, well, it's just a silly league anyway.)

aqualizard Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Here is the official draft order. Pick whenever. Order made at random.org. I made screen caps as proof, but let's face it, you just have to trust me. DRAFT ORDER A There were 5 items in your list. Here they are in random order: smozoma ( SJ ) depch (OTT ) FPB ( FLA ) raph ( ANH ) ice ( TB ) IP: 204.187.xxx.xxx Timestamp: 2017-02-08 17:48:29 UTC DRAFT ORDER B There were 4 items in your list. Here they are in random order: coach (DET) j&j (VAN) aqua ( BUF ) atomic ( CHI ) jer_33 ( MTL ) IP: 204.187.xxx.xxx Timestamp: 2017-02-08 17:54:30 UTC Edited February 9, 2017 by aqualizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the smozROM tool does it as part of the weight bug fix, but there's not a separate choice to keep classic and count in-game body checks. Here's the details on how to accomplish this hack: It looks pretty lengthy, and I've never tried it myself, so I don't think I can help much here. It might be easier to apply the simple WBF hack using the smozROM and accompanying body check hack, and then reverse back to classic in straight hex. Just a thought.

Depch Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) So I have the chance to take Anaheim, but instead I'll go with Ottawa! Reason behind this was that even though I love Anaheim chemistry a lot (Semenov-Yake is gold), I went through the teams one by one and was surprised that Ottawa actually had quite an ok roster skating wise. In Jamie Baker & Mark Lamb we trust! Florida was the worst for me, just a horrible horrible offence in skating and everything.

smozoma Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Send the ROM when ready and I'll see if I can do it. Do we want per-player check stats, or just eliminating after-the-whistle checks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason you missed it was because even though I love exis with you, I didn't seek you out like I did the other A guys. You are kinda "in between", so it wouldn't have been fair to give tyou a bottom 5 team, or fair to the rest to give you a top 5 team. Sorry, Tex. (You kinda got too good. ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
