Description

This is a ROM hack for NHL ’94 for the Sega Genesis that adds the teams and rosters for the 2020 season!

Please note the ‘Winnipeg Jets Bug’ causes the game to crash if you let the game cycle through the roster of the Jets on the team select screens.

NOTES:

• *The “Winnipeg Freeze Bug” exists on this rom as it affects all 32 team roms in this forum.
  *Includes the weight bug/helmet sprite patch/Smozoma 3 Stars of the Game hack.
• *Each team has 3 goalies, 14 forwards and 8 defensemen for you to choose from prior to a game.
• *This ROM is a “healthy/best case scenario” ROM.  That means, most injured players are in the line-ups and the lines/d-pairings may not be 100% what you see on opening night.  If you are not happy with a line combo or D pairing, feel free to change it.
• *Ratings based on a 3-year average.
• *Shooting accuracy based on goals per game, not season shooting % (as there is no season mode).  Points, assists, hits and PM also based on per game averages.
• *NHL Rookies/newbies are rated on the lower side, to start, as they must prove themselves.  I’ve made that mistake before and over-estimated.  If the rookie/newbies get better, throughout the season, it will be reflected on future roms.
• *Line combinations are structured as two scoring lines plus one “checking” or “shutdown” line.
• *OT is 60 minutes in length.  May the best team win!
• *In v1 of the rom, the 32nd team is an 2020 NHL Prospects team (includes Alexis Lafrenière).  In the PO (Playoff) version of the rom, there are 32 NHL teams including the new Seattle Kraken.
• *Kenny Albert serves the new “Ron Barr” in this rom.

“NHL ’94 is an ice hockey game by EA Sports for the Genesis, Super NES, and Sega CD, as well as the first release for the PC (DOS), simply titled “NHL Hockey”, without the “94” in the title. The game is officially licensed from the National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association. Being the third game in the NHL series media franchise, it was released in October 1993.[1] NHL ’94 launched to critical acclaim, and it has since been referred to as both the greatest sports game of all time as well as one of the best games ever made.” – Wikipedia
