77 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 instead of all these leagues and bullshit, why not open source code and make a new game... we're all in our 30 and 40s by now... get a couple guys that know what they are doing and lead the team. create a nhl 92 93 94 copycat, using all the original sprites. the ultimate retro hockey game...

kingraph Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 EA owns the source code and they are not (as of now) releasing it to anyone. At the same time, why do you want to copycat the game with original sprites? Just play the original if that is what you wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight bug aside, it is still more fun to play than anything EA is currently releasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer_33 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 This has been discussed in the past, creating a new "retro" hockey game. As far as leagues and stuff, I think we're all still really happy to be able to play these games online against each other. Still blows me away that guys were able to mod the game so that we could draft our own teams, and have online leagues. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer_33 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 If we could somehow fuze @smozoma and @CoachMac, a lot of this would get done in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) look at the guy that remade that tecmo bowl...or that blood hockey... then the skys the limit you can make something new, thats looks mechanically the same the ultimate hockey game would be 92 + 93 + 94 a game thats editable beyond the capabilities of whats been accomplished here... graphics and rosters, big deal... considering its been 15+ years i was hex editing the roster by hand back in 99 theres really not much more you can do.... its time to figure out the decompression whats his name gave us, or build something new its too bad the file structure on the DOS/windows nhl wasnt garbage.... just saying... image a nhl94 with fighting image a nhl94 with fighting after the whistle image a nhl94 with goalie fights image a nhl94 with mutliple fights image a nhl94 with 4 players image a nhl94 with hip checks image a nhl94 with specific injuries image a nhl94 with a changing crowd Edited November 1, 2018 by 77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Start it up If making it for desktop computer: https://www.pygame.org/news If making it for xbox/ps, I think it's C++, but there's also an upfront cost for it for a developer kit (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/gaming/getting-started, https://partners.playstation.net/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgman Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 the fact that the NHL actually has penalty called fighting is funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomKabs93 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 nhl 94 is already practically perfection im glad fighting isnt in the game, its a gimmicky distraction in a videogame 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game-winning mullet Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 It is aleady four- (five-) player... but I agree with a desire to see it rebuilt, like Lunar Magic or Zelda Classic -- a recreation built from the ground up that allows for custom game creation. At that point we could all tweak it to our own preferences down to minute details. It would take a special genius to spearhead such an effort. "NHL 199x."
