Easy experience points:
———————–
For easy experience points in GM mode, sign a free agent during the regular
season and trade him for a draft pick or for nothing. This should net you 20
experience points each time it is done. Note: The game eventually stops giving
you points for doing this.
Easy goals:
———–
When you have the puck, swing around the opponent’s net. If the goalie is on the
other side, then shoot with back hand shot. Note: This best works with two
players, so that other person can distract the goalie.
Use the following trick to get an easy goal about 75% of the time. Take the puck
down the ice very fast with your winger (either side works). Stop at the goal
line at the board. Make sure that nobody comes and picks the puck from you. Your
center man will most likely be standing directly in front of the goal. Wait
until you have a clear pass to him then do a one-timer and he will score. You
will probably have to move around a lot to get the open slot, and to keep from
getting picked off.
Set the game on the beginner difficulty setting, then skate across the goal
crease and shoot once you get to the other side. You will score about 98% of the
time. Note: Do not let anyone block or the goalie to steal the puck when you
shoot.
When you get the puck, skate down to the opponent’s end and go directly to the
bottom of one of the circles. Then, make a straight dash in front of the net.
Just when you pass the goalie, shoot the puck and it will go in almost all the
time.
Go behind the net with a player and then press the Analog-stick in the opposite
direction. This will make the player stop. When this is done, no players will go
behind the net. You can now look for space and make a breakaway pass. This is
very effective for breakaway goals.
Take a fast player down the rink and skate around all the players until you get
in their end zone. Then, go up to the goalie, go to the other side of him, and
shoot. About 90% of the time you will score. Try it with someone like Jagr or
Iginla.
Bouncing puck:
————–
Go to game settings menu and adjust the „Puck Friction”, „Puck Gravity” and
every option you can adjust on that screen that has to do with the puck. Go to a
game and shoot the puck down the ice. If it does not hit the goalie, the puck
should be bouncing all over the place until it runs out of speed.
Getting good players:
———————
In dynasty mode, rack up on draft picks by signing unwanted free agents and
trading them to random teams for draft picks. Doing this also earns you GM
experience points.
Use the following trick to get high draft picks without trading good players.
Once a draft is completed, see which teams took the first few picks and remember
their names. Go to the „Trade Players” screen in the GM menu. The team that just
took their first round pick will usually trade away that player for a third or
first round pick. Note: You do not receive your draft picks to trade until the
beginning of the next season.
You can easily make all the other teams in the league in dynasty mode go broke
by simply trading them salaries. Go to the Free Agency screen and sign anyone
desired (the worse the better) for long-term contracts and millions of dollars.
Then, trade those players to the other teams. The CPU will accept any trade if
they do not have to give up anything in return (for example, a trade for a 50
overall defenseman with a 6 year deal worth $25 million a season). Doing this
allows you to sign free agents in the off season very easily, as no one else
will be able to afford them.
