Actua Ice Hockey TC for NHL 09 Showcase (using ELITE Rosters)
1Video showcasing my TC for NHL 09 based on Actua Ice Hockey 2. All assets related to the TC are available on Wasserlasser.
Ever since I got obsessed with what some (incl. Unsilent) called it the Worst Hockey game of all time, ever since I first played the demo of it on the German PlayStation Zone CD Vol. 10 demo disc, before getting the full version of the PC version in the spring of 2007, I have been wanting to make this TC a complete reality. Actua Ice Hockey 2 and NHL Championship 2000 were both games I played demos of back in the day and they introduced me to the sport of Ice Hockey that I became a huge fan of. It took me like a decade and a half to make, and without some of the helpful tools like Imagemagick which was used to compile many of the graphics together without having to do each and everything all by hand which would have taken me hours if not days to fulfill, and even stuff like FSHLine from the NBA Live Series Center that greatly helped me build the FSHs much faster and more convenient without having to replace each and every single texture by hand, it would have still been a huge chore trying to put everything together. Even still, without the existence of stuff like PSicture which I used to obtain many of the graphical assets of the PlayStation versions of the AIH titles, as well as the Texture Finder which allowed me to look inside the game files of the PC version for the textures that I was able to obtain (incl. stuff I found of the unused Sheffield Steelers), I'd probably never would have had the chance to obtain as many resources and reference materials that I needed to make this.
Overall, I feel happy enough with how it turned out, especially since it was my whole own work. Everything from Actua Ice Hockey was recreated: From the Team Logos, to the jerseys and many of the Arena art, plus assets for teams that were not in the original game. Granted, the whole project is still a Work-In-Progress, as there are still many things currently left unfinished and in the case for the goalies, I had to resort using EA-made goalie gear as placeholders.
