Calling all TRUE Ranger buffs...
Was messing around with my tweaked version of NHL 2002 today trying to figure out who a lot of the "hidden" players are in the game.
Came across this one, which has me stumped:
Here's the lowdown:
-the player is stored in a part of the game database where real players are stored, so it is highly unlikely that it's a developer.
-the game has rosters from the 2001 offseason (after 2000-01 and before 2001-02), however this player is hidden from view in the game and therefore likely from at least 1 year earlier. Also means it's not associated with a name, it's just a photo.
-while some photographs are from 2000-01, the majority are from 1999-00, and a small handful are from 1998-99...that gives you an approximate timeframe for this photo
-i've reviewed some Ranger rosters from this time to refresh my memory, right on down to the JF Labbe's, Chris Kenady's, and Rich Brennan's and it doesn't appear to be any of them.
-The only player I haven't been able to rule out is Bob Errey, but he's from 1997-98, which doesn't explain why his photo would still be in the game, but I don't recall his appearance being the same and a quick Google is inconclusive.
-It's also possible the player is a Ranger prospect that never played in a game, but was on the roster or featured prominently in 2000 or 1999 training camp at that time...however I've ruled out most of the notable prospects from memory also.
Any help would be appreciated, as right now this one's got me stumped.
