    NHL 19 - Classic Teams

    Hey all,

    I've seen some of the reviews for NHL 20 and although some improvements have been made, I think I'm sticking with 19 for one more season. The alumni teams may sway me later on (the game would be a bargain bin purchase if I get it at all), but I think I'll press on with a few more classic teams for 19. If you have save wizard, you may be interested in some of my teams. Here's what I have so far:

    1987-88 Bruins
    1973-74 Bruins
    1983-84 Nordiques
    1985-86 Canadiens
    1976-77 Canadiens
    1988-89 Flames
    1986-87 Oilers
    1984-85 Flyers
    1973-74 Flyers
    1981-82 Islanders
    1981-82 North Stars
    1982-83 Black Hawks

    I'll post updates as I add teams to the list. Not sure how many I'll do but I'll give you the heads up on any progress made.

    Do yourself a favor, get NHL 20 on Black Friday or whenever you see it at 25/30 bucks. Worth it.

      Yeah I may do that, Fiddy. Just don't want to recreate all these teams again.

        I've been enjoying NHL20 Alumni Teams ...... really neat seeing those older players playing without helmets ! Also, it is really educational for me since I knew very little about Hockey back then and really not much more even these days ........

        I looked into your Classic Rosters above but that save wizard thing was a bit too much effort for me to dive into ........

          Yeah, hockey was my first love and then baseball kinda took over as my #1. I don't blame you a bit for passing on the save wizard, Don. Too pricey. I never really got to play 19 much as I was knee-deep in the team creation process. Thinking I'll get some more playing time out of it and possibly look at 20 around Ho Ho time

            I have set the lineups for the 1996-97 Red Wings and the 1977-78 Maple Leafs. I then plan to set the 1994-95 Devils and the 1991-92 Penguins. By setting lineups that means equipment, likeness and player vitals (weight, height, position etc.). I do this in a three-step process. Next, I create the team, and finally, I'll rate the players' attributes. I re-create the teams to get at the retired numbers. It'll take a few weeks to complete these squads. This will take me to 16 teams.

            Looking ahead, I'm thinking the 1993-94 Rangers, 1995-96 Avs, 1970-71 Blackhawks, 1983-84 Sabres to name a few possibilities but nothing set in stone as I'm also thinking on adding a couple of teams from 2000-2009 era. I also plan on doing some the cup winning teams from 2010-2019 which won't deal with a lot of player creation.

            I played NHL 19 the other night again. I was rusty as I haven't played it in months and lost to the 1976-77 Canadiens using my 1973-74 Bruins 4-3 in Play Now. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it as these classic teams make the experience so much better.

              I have 19 and 20. They are both good. I don’t have a savewizard but would like to replicate some of the teams you have listed here..... especially the Bruins squads (I’m from Boston), the 81-82 Islanders and the 77 Canadians. My question is how do you determine attributes? I know NHL Reference is great for name / personal info. How do your teams rate out? For instance if the 77 Canadians were great everywhere with nine hall of famers. How do they rate relative to say your Edmonton squad maybe not the best defensively but exceptional offensively. Any assistance appreciated in advance. Too bad EA forces everyone to do this manually. I have been buying there hockey game annually since before 2002. I used to use the PC editors way back when. They were great with your own boards and music.

                I'm a huge Bruins fans since the days of Bobby Orr. Basically I used a ratings system from someone on here who redid the player ratings for the current players. I downloaded their spreadsheet and I just match up players from the past with players with similar attributes to current day players and adjust the ratings accordingly. It's not a perfect fix as I use my own judgment in certain areas. The teams play great though.

                  I’m 50 I e been watching Bruins since I was 5. Do you still have those sheets in a format that can be emailed. I’d like to make a few teams if possible. Some other teams I might try to make are the 94 rangers, the Lindros Leclair Flyers and one of the 50’s Canadians squads. I’m going start experimenting with it now. Hopefully with 20 some of the players will be able to port over quickly. Watching them without helmets is pretty awesome.

                    I'm 53 in December. Good to see vintage gamers like myself The links for my spreadsheets are below. I'm working on some 90s rosters but those sheets aren't done yet. Also. if there is an asterisk beside the year on the spreadsheet, that means I haven't altered the ratings yet.

                        Hey RWings. I'll update these sheets and post the 90s spreadsheet when I've created all the teams. Your Red Wings are in the next update

                          I've now decided to make an effort to have all the games' greatest players involved in my classic set. After I complete my 90s teams, I'm going to bypass teams from 2000 on and add some older teams to bring in some more legendary players. I'm looking at the 1961-62 Leafs, the 1951-52 Red Wings and the 1955-56 Canadiens. The 90s teams will be:

                          1996-97 Red Wings
                          1994-95 Devils
                          1991-92 Penguins
                          1993-94 Rangers
                          1995-96 Avs

                          I then hope add the 1970-71 Blackhawks and the 1974-75 Sabres to top things off. Thinking on having this project finished before mid to end of November.

                            Thanks. I’ll check them out. I was having difficulty making a team on 20 (I thought I could simply copy or pick an existing uniform / goalie pads but no so easy it appears) maybe I’ll use 19 for historical teams.
