segathon Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I try to put all goons and chumps and stiffs in, pull my goalie, play against the all-star teams......but I can't seem to lose to the computer. anybody have "success" in this quest? Things I do to make it a little tougher, is don't do the easy goals like accross the crease. I also lay off the c button on defense since the computer is not that great at dodging checks.

Evan Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Pull your goalie. That should give you a good, fun challenge. And keep your chumps in too. -Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch27 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I recently started playing the SENS version and noticed the computer is alot tougher imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudatman Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 so I play with Calgary, sub in the scrubs (Reese included) and only shoot with Greg Smyth (29 rating overall) and I still shut them (whomever, Allstar teams included) out by huge numbers. one time, Bure scored on me, so it was like 9-1. I need live players because the computer sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudatman Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Pull your goalie. That should give you a good, fun challenge. And keep your chumps in too.I pull the goalie when I'm going for record goals. the sixth skater helps a little bit, but the quick goal in my defensive end brings a quick faceoff and saves time for my next goal. I can routinely get over one hundred goals with my goalie pulled. they end up scoring like twenty or thirty against me.and, to your point, yes, it's possible to lose with scrubs and a pulled goalie. not much fun, but it is possible to lose.

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm really surprised how many people actually play against the computer. I don't think I've done that since '96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try keeping "score" by leaving your goalie in, but requiring yourself to have more goals at the end of the game than the computer has shots on goal. I've found that satisfies my competitive jones.

clockwise Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 1 vs 5 can be very challenging.Used to play this game where I'd get one chance to score. If I miss, I would switch to goalie and wait until I make a save or until the CPU gets the puck or my tender gains possession from a shot, then I'd try to get a scoring chance; rinse repeat.

trudatman Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 You can always try our old cartridge that for some reason is now the hardest version of 94 on the market....two questions:1. what cartridge; a hack or are you saying your personal copy seems to be harder than others? 2. is one on five something you can do with Genesis cartridge NHL '94? that'd be a reason to play it, I guess.

trudatman Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 my new thing is: seven-game playoff rounds 5 minute periods penalties on line changes on unedited lines only shooting with one-timers. was beating "Bufaffalo" by one goal per game (as the Rangers) until the game froze on an offside one-timer. replacing the cartridge and trying again.

smozoma Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 2. is one on five something you can do with Genesis cartridge NHL '94? that'd be a reason to play it, I guess. I think he means once you get the puck, you can't pass it; you can only shoot it. Once the computer gets the puck, you have to be the goalie until the goalie gets the puck. Then you pass it to one of your guys, and he's not allowed to pass it, only shoot.. then they get the puck and you have to be the goalie.. etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trudatman Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 did the one-timers only thing and managed to lose one game (as New York; I forget who to, it was last week) in the playoffs. so, one out of seventeen is okay. next time, a shittier team.

angryjay93 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 i just want to vouch for the idea of pulling your goalie and putting in bums, i just started trying it a few days ago and i just finished my stanley cup playoff run with the quebec nordiques. 5 minute periods, penalties-no offsides, 7 game series. conference quarters: win 4-0 vs penguins conference semis: win 4-3 vs canadiens conference finals: win 4-3 vs flyers stanley cup finals: win 4-3 vs red wings It seemed like as i went deeper and deeper i became more and more of a joke on home ice as i couldnt ever seem to win a game at home...game 6 at home against detroit was especially pathetic as i lost 12-4. But i managed to pull out three different game 7s with the starting line up of... lw: Tony Twist 29g-32a-61p c: Gino Cavallini 50g-70a-120p rw: Chris Simon 73g-38a-111p ld: Steve Finn 15g-18a-33p rd: Craig Wolanin 10g-27a-37p xa: Scott Young 46g-33a-79p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trudatman Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 only five goals with Smyth? I like playing games where he's the only one allowed to shoot. that plus goalie pulled (plus all scrubs) equals a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 trudatman, get the 1on1 rom, play agaisnt the computer with the worst goalie possible and a scrub. If you lose control of the puck, switch to the goalie until you get control of the puck back. It's a decent challenge if you play the allstars.

Well on the cartridge you play as one team (you can be any of the six players at a given time) against the computer. It's the same on the emulator...right? ( I hardly ever play the emulator) But this cartridge we have for the genesis is EVIL!!!! It's Evan's original cartridge (the first ever 94 he got). It doesn't keep records anymore, and it goes into what Evan and I lovingly call "MODE." Which is to say that no matter what team you are if you are playing the computer (no matter who the computer is) they put down defense that would make the Devils look like they are offensive machines!
