Sauce Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 (edited) Howdy! Been a while… did a quick search and noticed that the season ROMs are still in the works with their creators. So, I promised a couple of folks that I’d post this one. Especially, as it pays tribute to one of my favorite players – Johnny Hockey. Perhaps, it will hold you over until the others post their versions. It also includes Utah but, as the Yeti. I cannot stomach calling them “Hockey Club.” Was just as dumb when the Washington Commanders did the same lazy thing. It has been rumored Yeti may be the name once they finish their re-brand work. The team GM kinda had a big slip up on such a name reveal at the recent NHL draft. Yeti was one of the names that fans voted for when the franchise was purchased and management was looking for feedback. So, it could very well be the name in time. As such, I found a temp logo that I liked and used it. NOTE from 10/14: Added a 2nd version of the ROM with Utah Hockey Club. About the ROM: · 32 NHL Teams · Same NHL94 font used for the title screen to pay tribute to the game itself. NHL94.com still shows as the official scoreboard sponsor for promotion to this site. · Anaheim and LA have new logos. The former has new color scheme. · New playoff scheme (pictured below). I didn’t include last year’s playoff bracket – afterall, it’s not the same lineups so, it's not the same experience. Instead, I did something similar to how the NHL does preseason scheduling and broke it into different regions. It's not identical but close enough. It's not the same 16 team bracket each time so you can have a different journey with whichever team you use. · Includes the “weight bug” fix · The rom has the WAS/WPG freeze bug. When corrected, it causes an issue for the playoff mode. If you use Kega Fusion, it will not freeze the player cards for those teams. · Each team has 13 forwards, 7 Dmen and 2 goalies. That said, not everyone made the cut (for the ROM). I have my rationale behind who did vs didn't. The checking line has the Dmen most commonly used in 3rd periods to create for better overall defense. So, you're actually only getting two d-pairs vs 3. · With the exception of Drew Doughty, LTIR skaters, that are are expected be out for a long chunk of time, are not in the game. Doughty is one my favorites so I am biased and kept him in, albeit, as a “healthy scratch." · Injured players rumored to be returning within a month, may be in the game. Suspended players (Nuke for COL) are not included…yet… · Lines/D pairs are confirmed in some cases and best guesses/speculation in others If you notice any mistakes (jersey numbers, spelling, handedness or anything unusual), please let me know. In the meantime... enjoy!

Sauce Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 (edited) Hi! So, turns out, I had the wrong Bruins logo in the ROM. I'm surprised no one noticed. It had last year's Bruins anniversary logo and thought I swapped it out for the correct 2024-25 logo. DOH! Anywho... sorry about that... To make up for my mistake, I just posted two versions of this NHL94 2025 ROM. One, with the Utah Hockey Club name and logo. The other, includes the originally posted Yeti name and logo. No other changes/updates were made beyond the logos. Cheers! Edited October 14 by Sauce 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauce Posted Saturday at 02:20 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:20 PM For those who may be interested, I just added a second/updated edition of both the UHC and Yeti versions of the ROM. The details about the ROMs are in the original post. The 1st edition is still posted as well and all 4 can be downloaded from the OP. Enjoy! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
