Hint: Discovering codes:
While playing the game, when you get a goal you will see short FMV sequence afterwards.
In one clip, you can see the player go over to the side of the rink and see the crowd.
At the top you will see some people holding and flipping signs.
Look at them closely and you will notice that they form codes, such as "N N N Down." Press X, Y, and B followed by the D-pad direction at the vs.
screen to activate the code.

Hint: More skill competition levels:
Successfully complete all of the skills in a competition level to unlock an additional level.

Hint: Easy goals:
When creating a team, make one player left handed.
When picking your hot spot, make it on the right faceoff circle.
When playing a game enable the "Show the team's hot spot" code, put the left-handed player as your defense, win the faceoff, and get it to your defender.
Skate up and shoot from where the hot spot is located.
You will make it in 9 out of 10 times.

Go around your opponent's net and pass the puck to the player that is on the other side of the net.
Pass it to him, and shoot immediately.
The goalie will not be on that side, so it is easier to score.

When on one side of the net, cross over to the other side.
When you reach the other post, shoot a slapshot or a normal shot.

Hint: Easy fights:
When playing the game with a friend, check the CPU player and not the one that your friend is controlling.
This may get you into a fight.

Hint: Get faceoffs:
Faceoffs are somewhat like a Paper, Rock, Scissors game, where one move beats another.
In the game, A is similar to Paper, B is similar to Rock, and Square is similar to Scissors -- A beats B, B beats X, and X beats A.
You can tell what the other person does by watching their stick.
When they press A, their stick will twitch.
When they press B, their hand will come off of the back of the stick.
When they press X, they will hold their stick up high.

Hint: Better created team:
Create six players and remove all of the last three players' experience points.
Give them to the first three players.
That should give the first three players all the experience they need.
