KHL 2025 by Soitanen

[Soitanen]

Hi everyone!

I want to introduce my first ROM - KHL 2025. This version imitates Kontinental Hockey League 2024/2025 season.

All 23 teams are presented, each team have 2 to 4 goalkeapers, 14 forward skaters and 8 defenders. Rosters are set as at the end of regular season. All players have their stats based solely on 2024/2025 regular season statistics. Also I use 0-15 scale for stats. New weight bugfix is used.

As a bonus I have included All Stars team for West and East conference, whole KHL and NHL! So you can play KHL vs NHL.

All teams have their logos and ice logos are rotated and properly proportioned.

Technical notes:

I highly recommend to set screen aspect ratio to 1:1 PAR. This will give you correct proportions and best widescreen view by @AdamCatalyst.

Also I didn't change ice color due to usage of shaders. I prefer sonkun's shader (https://forums.libretro.com/t/new-sonkun-crt-guest-advanced-hd-presets-thread/39091), look at the difference:

Big thank for everyone here, because this is great forum with structured information for building own ROM.

As refernece I took Classic 30-team ROM and changed it. Using work of @chaos @smozoma @AdamCatalyst @wboy and others. Sorry, if you helped me, but I forgot to mention you, please write me and I'll include you.

 

I offer two versions: classic and Real speed mod. With this mod you'll have real speed assigned to skaters. Game will be slower, but more space for strategy and tactics.

Thank you for doing this. I love the KHL. Nothing like watching hockey at breakfast.

Congrats on completing your first ROM.

 

Although I couldn't help but notice that it didn't take long for the age old question to pop up.

Update?

Sorry, I'm not native English speaker, can't understand your question.

Oh. Sorry. 
I just meant that with most current season ROMs, shortly after they are posted, the league will trade some players and immediately make some rosters outdated.

In this case, I took a look at it yesterday and noticed that just that morning, the news came out that Kunlun was traded to Shanghai.

Yeah, many trades, with many surprises, and all of this things will go into new KHL 2026 ROM, which I already have started, even changed 3 logos, removed one team and so on. Also I'm still learning, so need to fix "white eyes" bug, maybe add helmet different painting, player pictures, and I decided to put this updated in new ROM.

This KHL 2025 is finished, as a season 24/25, with Lokomotiv as the winner of the Gagarin cup.
