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: Easy credits:
Play a game with the difficulty starting at the rookie setting. Before the game ends and displays your total stats, enter the pause menu and change the difficulty to All-Star. You will now get All-Star credits which can be used to buy things.

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.

When choosing your players do not worry if their shooting or passing is good. Choose someone who has high checking. Then, have your player skate up ice and check the goalie down. Whoever has the puck will have a wide open net to score on.

When you have the puck, go around the goal of the opposing team. Stay away from the goalie or he will knock you down. When you get in almost straight across from the goalie, shoot the puck while pressing the Left Analog-stick diagonally. Note: This will only work a few times.

Hint: Easy store credits:
This trick requires at least two controllers. Put one player on one team and player two on the other. Set the period length to three minutes and start a game. Only use one of the controllers and let the player to remain idle. You can score and get lots of points fast and easy. The two remaining men not controlled directly by the other player will still check you and take the puck, but will not be able to score. You will also get two chances at the trivia question. If you get the question correct, both players will get the trivia points. Note: For each difficulty setting you will get a different amount of points: 100 for Rookie and 200 for All-Star.

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: Finishing move during fights:
While fighting a bar is displayed, showing how much life you have. When your opponent's bar is almost empty, press B to do a wrestling-type move to finish the fight. If you have enough money, buy different heads. When you press B with one of the heads equipped, it will do a special move. For example, the shark head will bite the opponent and alien head will zap him.

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

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 X 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: Crowd sounds:
Press White during a game to make the crowd cheer. Press Black to make the crowd boo.

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.
