Go to a game and shoot the puck down the ice. 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. Then, go up to the goalie, go to the other side of him, and shoot. Take a fast player down the rink and skate around all the players until you get in their end zone. Just when you pass the goalie, shoot the puck and it will go in almost all the time. Then, make a straight dash in front of the net. When you get the puck, skate down to the opponent's end and go directly to the bottom of one of the circles. Note: Do not let anyone block or the goalie to steal the puck when you shoot. 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 probably have to move around a lot to get the open slot, and to keep from getting picked off. Wait until you have a clear pass to him then do a one-timer and he will score. Your center man will most likely be standing directly in front of the goal. Make sure that nobody comes and picks the puck from you. Take the puck down the ice very fast with your winger (either side works). Use the following trick to get an easy goal about 75% of the time. Note: This best works with two players, so that other person can distract the goalie. If the goalie is on the other side, then shoot with back hand shot. When you have the puck, swing around the opponent's net.
Note: The game eventually stops giving you points for doing this. This should net you 20 experience points each time it is done.
Easy experience pointsįor easy experience points in GM mode, sign a free agent during the regular season and trade him for a draft pick or for nothing. For example, try the names Roy Armes, Dean Richards, Pin Tang, or Dave Warfield. The game will tell you that it has this player in its database, and automatically adjusts the stats and appearance accordingly. Enter that name at the create player option. Look at the credits screen in the game and choose any name from the EA development team.
The game will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match that band member. The game will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match that band member.Ĭreate a player using one of the following names of members of the band Gob: Theo Gobzinakis, Gabe Metal, Gob Stomper, Tom Whacker, Pat Wolfman, or Craig Would. *Note: I suggest always giving your team a slight 1 click adjustment to your side, just the players…not the goalies(in player/goalie boost settings ) as it seems to me to enhance the whole thing.Create a player using one of the following names of members of the band Alien Ant Farm: Terence Corso, Mike Cosgrove, Dryden Mitchell, or Tye Zamora. Use as a base and then fine tune to your personal tastes though I have been really digging these settings as is. I really do get a kick out of tweaking sports games but especially hockey games, it’s a sickness really, there are those out there who know what I mean and can literally spends countless of hours doing it. Too bad there wasn’t two more settings, one for amount of defense pinch and another for cpu shot attempts, if I ever get hold of a working player editor I could try and globally set the leagues pass/shoot bias….oh well. I have been getting some good results with these, good scores/shots etc.
Ok, here are my NHL 2004 PC settings on medium difficulty.
