Big
heads: Select the "Credits" option at the main menu. Press L2,
R2, L2, R2 at the credits screen.
Hint:
Easy goals: Swerve side to side when on breakaway or alone for a shot. When
the goalie is to far out of position, shoot a wrist shot to score. This
works about 70% of the time.
Set your controls to
"Advanced" in the options screen. Then, when you are about to take
a shot, hold L1 + Triangle and press the Analog-stickLeft
or Right to begin deking the puck. Next, hold L1 + Circle
and press the Left Analog-stick in the direction opposite to which
you deked it. Finally, release Circle and the puck should get past
the goalie.
Press Right Analog-stick Up
when you are in your opponet's zone until the highlighted option is
"Overload". Then, go behind the opponent's goalie and pass it back
to your defense. When the puck is being passed, hold L1 + Circle.
When your defense appears on screen, release Circle to do a one timer
slap shot (overload).
Pause game play and select
"Choose Sides". Choose the opposing team, then select "Pull
Goalie". Resume game play long enough for the goalie to get off the
ice. Pause game play again and choose your original team. Then, shoot the
puck at the goal and it will slide in before the goalie can return. This is
very useful if you are down a few goals at the end of the game.
Hint:
More PIM: Put all enforcers out on the ice for the entire game and have
skill level set all the way up (or at least on pro). You can get a total of
325 PIM by doing this. Ray, Boulton, Stock, Chara, Domi, and others are
recommended.
Hint:
Fights: There are unlimited amount of fights in the game. It is possible
to reach 35 by doing the following: Cut all the enforcers from the league,
then place them all onto only two teams. Cut players that are not enforcers
from the two selected teams. Place the enforcers on all the lines of both
teams. Finally, play a game with the two teams. To increase the frequency of
fights besides the frequency option, increase hitting power and decrease the
fatigue options. Placing the level of skill to pro or higher makes it easier
to start fights. Players may even fight just by bumping shoulders.
At the options screen, fill up
the fighting meter and the hitting power. Then, during game play, find a
player that fights well. To start a fight, pick a certain player on the
opposite team and continue to check him. After about three times, a fight
will start.
To get in as many fights as
possible, put all top enforcers onto just two teams. Face them off with only
enforcers on the ice. Then, turn fighting and checking all the way up and
turn off penalties. You should have constant fights, especially if your
skill level is at "Hall Of Famer". The best players to use are Rob
Ray, Eric Boulton, Tie domi, Peter Worrell, and Bob Probert.
The easiest way to get into
more fights is as follows. First, set your difficulty level on "All
Star" or "Hall of Famer". Doing this will automatically make
fights happen more often, because the CPU players check you back. Then, set
the "Fighting" slider all the way up, the "Fatigue"
slider all the way down, and the "Hitting Power" down to slightly
less than half way. This helps because when you check a player in a head-on
collision, he will not fly 20 feet away, and he can stand up to challenge
you, and vice versa. Also, trade some of the best enforcers in the league to
your team, such as Rob Ray and Ed Boulton (both from Boston), and others.
Also, create your own players. Give them high stats, especially in Grit,
Aggression, Endurance, Checking, and Check Bias. This will make them good
fighters, and scorers as well.
Hint:
Top twenty enforcers:
1. Rob Ray (Buf): Very good
checker, has heart. His 3000+ PIM is why he is the best. He will fight
anyone on the ice and is the greatest leader for your team.
2. Eric Boulton (Buf): Follows in Ray's footsteps. Have him on the same
line as Ray.
3. P.J. Stock Bos): Fights very often. Does not get called for penalty
that much.
4. Tie Domi (Tor): Dirty player but can scrap well
5. Stu Grimson: May have been forgotten, but is a power house.
6. Bob Probert: 3000+ PIM and can still fight.
7. Zdeno Chara: 6' 9" giant that can deliver punishment..
8. Jody Shelley: Plays dirty but can go toe to toe with everyone except
Ray or Boulton.
9. Matt Barnaby: Not a very good fighter but will always go.
10. K. Oliwa: Big time hitter and can fight well.
11. E. Cairns: Good enforcer for a defenseman.
12. I. Laperriere: Small but powerful.
13. Paul Laus: Also very good hitter for a defenseman.
14. A. Nazarov: Russian enforcer who can deliver.
15 P. Worrell: Big 6' 6'' enforcer who can help a power team.
16. J. Weimer: Has Eric Cairns to back him up cause he is an average
fighter.
17. D. Brashear: Can go toe to toe with many players.
18. S. Mckenna: 6' 8'' giant who can fight well.
19. J. Odgers: Old but still noticeable.
20.***** bonus player: Create a player named Dan Westphal. Give him
qualities all the way up to have a great enforcer and scorer. Make him as
short as possible and light to make him go more often. No other created
player will go as much as he does. He is great on lines with Ray and
Boulton.
Hint:
Best enforcer line:
LW: Matt Barnaby
C: Brad May
RW: Rob Ray
LD: Rhett Warrener
RD: Jay Mckee
Hint:
