Custom character's name announced:
Combine any of the NHL players' and hidden players'first and last names and the game will announce your player'sname. For example, Jami Joseph, Jonas McEachern, Mario Domi, etc.
All-Star teams:
Play through a season and finish the All-Star game.Save the game and two All-Star teams will be unlocked at the teamselection screen.
Hint: Easy goals:
Skate straight at the goalie. Immediately before youwould normally run into him, cut to whatever direction the player'sstick is (i.e. if a player is left-handed, cut left.) Immediatelyafter the cut, press Shoot.
Immediately before shooting against Marty Brodeur (Devil's goalie),spin either left or right and you will score almost every time.
When you are on a shootout. go to the blueline and just tap Shoot.If done correctly, the puck will go over the goalie.
Hint: Trade for a higher player:
Keep trading up one or two overall numbers until youget to the player you want. For example, trade Mark Messier (80)trade for Oates (81). Then trade Oates for an 82 and so on.
When trading for higher players you cannot get a high defensemanfor anything other than another defenseman.
Hint: Better fight outcome:
When you get yourself into a fight, do not throw anypunches. When the fight is over, the other player will get a 5minute major for fighting and you will only get a 2 minute penaltyfor roughing.
