NHL 1990

[mitch13 23]

Hello everybody,

I edited a version called "NHL 1990", based on the 1989-90 deadline rosters.

Why 1990? Because it's the season of an underestimated acomplishment in my opinion. Edmonton winning without Gretzky, I mean, wow, that was something.

And also because there was always a gap between some awesome productions, like these of clockwise, NHL 1991, and these of slapshot, from 1970 till 1989.

UPDATE: new rom, some improvements on the rosters and photos, BOS vs EDM as main teams in the menu, player cards for starters from clockwise's NHL 1991.

2ND UPDATE: corrected introducting screen, thanks to @Jkline3.

the automatic team selection is MTL vs CGY. That's not correct, but I'm not able to fix that at this point.

Here is the solution for that:

NOSE can change the menu matchup teams to EDM vs. BOS.

Yes, 1990 was a missing link.  Thanks!

Sweet! It'd be more authentic if midway through a Boston home game, the lights went out ;-)

I love anything late 80's/early 90's hockey so this is right in my wheelhouse, thanks bud!

New version with player cards for all starters in the first post.

This looks like a nice rom!

Awesome work bud. Thank you. Only minor thing I found was that it says 1989 on the opening screen. Would be awesome if you had a messier Edmonton pic and the 1990 year in the screen. Like the where it says NHL 90.  But small potatoes. Thank you. All you guys do amazing work.

Thanks @Modano’s mafia! You are right for the opening screen. But we would need some help from another guy to do that... I am not able to dot it by myself for now.

False alarm - used the wrong picture!

OK, let's try this again with the right picture...  Unfortunately the iconic pose of holding the Cup overhead doesn't work well as a background because you end up with with the title right over the player's face.

Looks great! As a Flames fan 1990 always stung to me. CGY could have had a mini dynasty going as I think they deserved better in 1991 as well--but that is a different story. 

Random question that has always bugged me in all my years playing NHL 94. Is there a way to play your PP lines during even strength? I ask because I always thought it would be cool to roll "4-lines" using PP2 as the make-shift 4th line. Am I making it up that I have memories of the CPU putting their PP1 line on the ice during the last minute if the score was close? Or am I thinking of the PC version?
