NHL 2018 by Slapshot67 & Skip

[skip]

Hey guys,

Here is the updated ROM with the 2017-18 rosters. I'll add more details later, but if you're new to updated ROMs:

 

-This is a 32-team ROM (updated teams, player cards and graphics by Slapshot67)

-Updated rosters for 2017-18 season (rosters by Skip). Lines were accurate as of 10/8 (except for Vegas). Went ahead with Vegas "best lines"

-Weight bug is fixed (heavy guys are harder to knock down)

-1 minute penalties (except for injuries = 2 min penalty)

 

KNOWN BUG: The menu screen will freeze if the player cards begin to cycle for team #31 - Winnipeg.

 

This really was a fun ROM to put together. We hope you enjoy!

NOTE: The tourney ROM has continuous OT. I ran some simulations with the ROM (w/ 7 minute periods) and teams were getting 30 shots on goal. It was actually not bad to watch!

Thanks for doing this @skip and @slapshot67.  I've put this out in facebook and twitter world for nhl94.com.

This is great -- one suggestion for future: It really helps when you include graphic snapshots of the title screen or Vegas, etc. for social media promotion.

Nice work!

It could be just me, but it seems more difficult to score on this vs regular NHL94.  The CPU goalies seem to respond faster.

 

Also, no Roenick on the all star team?  I might have to cross check someone.

Thanks all!

One note: I did not include players on long-term injury in the lineups, but they're in the ROM (Kesler, Chychrun, Sekera, Ellis, Zajac, Berglund and Bouwmeester. I did not include Clarke MacArthur :-(

If anyone finds any errors (handedness, jersey #'s, and jeebus help me if I spelled anything incorrectly) please let me know!

@King of 94' WI - I know! I started off doing the HHOF players and guess what? JR and Mogs are not in the HHOF. It's a travesty! #GetThemIn

@kingraph - good call, will do. 

@naples39 - thanks bud, looking forward to seeing yours too!

The goalies are still pretty amped up when compared to the old ROM, it's been the hardest part of the ratings for me. But I agree, it is definitely harder to score.

Thanks for the gr8 rom Skip and Slapshot67!!!

Can the 94 all-stars team be edited in NOSE? I'd really love to enter my sons novice hockey team in the 32nd team spot.

Yes it can be edited, you have to go into the NOSE folder --> Search for -3V in the roms.ini file and change both teams 30 to 32, that will allow you to view 32 teams.

To make things easier, can you put the modified .ini into the zip file? (maybe a readme.txt as well saying what to do with it)

The NHL 94 all star team is a nice suprise.  This is amazing.

It just made sense! We were going to do the NHL All-Stars, and I had also thought about doing an All-Time Hall-of-Fame team. But then I had a moment of clarity hahaha

We used to have this so that people could download roms whether they were a member or guest, but I'm guessing with recent upgrades to the forums it's reverted back to it's old ways. I've been unable to figure out a solution as the option for me to change it is no longer where it used to be. I'll keep looking.

Guests can download your roms now.

[slapshot67]

here are a couple of roms.ini files, depending on what version of NOSE you use, wboy's original or smozoma's edit.

backup your roms.ini file just in case something goes wrong.

Sweet, thanks for the feedback bud. Just an FYI, I make a few updates during the season and release newer versions. All of these things will be considered when I make updates.
