Easy goals: For all European teams is the World Cup of Hockey, all goalies will let
in hard wrist shots from either the right or left.
All Canadian goalies let in a hard slap shot from the point. Make sure
to set the strategy to "Aggressive" and the defensive strategy to "High
Pressure".
Legend players - When its say press start at the beginning
of the game hold LR and press Z A B X B A Y Z X B A A
Breakaways: Most aggressive face-off formations
have a far winger. Shooting or passing the puck in his direction might
lead to some breakaways.
Deflections: Deflections can be done the same way as a one-timer.
Shoot from the point and press Shoot again with players in front.
If you turbo across the front of the net and shoot on the
other side you are more likely to score.
Unlockable videos: After you press Start at the title screen,
different videos will appear. You can unlock more videos by playing with
different teams and leagues.
Getting good players cheaply: Get your legal upgrades all the way
up so that you can sign players for less. Save the game then release a
high paying player into free agency. Immediately negotiate a new
contract. With all the upgrades you can get players to take multimillion
dollar pay cuts. Make sure you save first -- if you go too low on the
offer the player may be insulted and not talk to your team anymore.
