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.
LoGiBeAr and MuShRoOm.

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 and a friend are playing against the CPU, have your friend check the goalie down. The goalie will fall down and you can score easilly. This is useful in franchise and Stanley Cup playoff modes.

When you have the puck, go all the way left and keep passing. Once next to the goal, pass then shoot fast. Sooner or later you will get a goal. This works best when the "Unlimited turbo" code is enabled.

Go down the side of the rink and get behind the net. Then skate front of it and shoot. You can also go down the rink between the middle and side of it as fast as you possible and completely stop slightly after the blue line. You can do this by pressing the Analog-stick Back, then turn towards the goal and shoot.

Get the puck and fake a wrap around. Then, pass it to the man in front of the net . Make sure that it is a 1-timer. Note: This works best with the AVs.

Hint: Easy wins:
Stats or attributes do not make a big difference in your game. The way you play will affect your game. Remember what happens during game play (for example, when you have the puck and get checked down and your opponent scores). Never make the same mistake again in your game or you will most likely lose. Always keep the puck moving. While you pass the puck around in the defending zone, the opponents goalie gets tired so you have a better chance of scoring. A good location to put your hot spot (creating a team) is directly on the blue line dead center with the opposing net.

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.

Win the Midway Cup in franchise mode to unlock 5,000 extra credits for use in the hockey shop.

Use the following trick to unlock everything as fast as possible with the least amount of work. To get 200 very easy credits without having to slave away on All-star mode, begin the game on the All-Star difficulty setting. Then, after the first face-off, go into your game settings and change the difficulty setting to Rookie. This will make the game much easier to play. When the clock is winding down in a period, make sure you change the difficulty back to All-Star before the period ends. The CPU will think that you played the whole period under the All-Star difficulty setting. Pepeat this for all three periods and you will end the game with 200 credits if you won.

For easy one player credits, select "Custom Team", start a team, but take all the attributes away from every person. Exit and save, then enter exhibition mode and play that team.
Kyle Roessler.

At the start of an exhibition game press Start and select "Game Settings". Go to "Skill Level" and change it to "Rookie". The CPU should now be easy to defeat. Pause game play again with ten seconds left on the clock. Change the "Skill Level" to "All Star". Instead of getting 50 credits for the win, you will get 150.

Hint: Easy attributes points:
Go to franchise mode and win a game to get 6 attribute points.

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: Stall for time with fights:
If you are ahead of a team that cannot afford to lose to, stay by your goal or a distance behind the blue line and keep pressing Deke whenever the player guarding you comes at you. This basically starts a fight, and eats up time that the other team could use to score on you. Not only will you randomly get the puck taken away from you, nobody else from the opposing team will come at you.

Hint: Easy Level 3 Power Shot:
When the "Code Input" screen appears for Skillz challenge, enter the "Bulldozer Puck" (2-1-2 Left) code. This will make the boxes take less hits, so it will be easier.
Alan Trinh.

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: Catch fire:
Score a hat-trick with a player. To catch a team fire, score three consecutive one-timers with any player on your team.

Hint: Team fire:
Score three one-timers without letting the other team score.
Ali Borab.

Hint: End opponent's fire:
To extinguish the opposite team's fire, you must score a goal after a player catches fire or score a one-timer when the other team has a team fire.

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.

Hint: Use team without buying them:
If you want to use a team in the Hockey Shop, first you buy the team. Then, go to exit, save, and select continue without saving. You can now use the team. To get your money back, do not save at all after you buy the team. Reset after you are done.

Glitch: Overlapped save and trivia screens:
After you take the trivia quiz, you would usually press A to go to the save screen. Before you press A, hold the Analog-stick in any direction then press A. This will make the save and trivia screens overlap each other.
Alan Trinh.

Glitch: Wrong fire:
If your character is on fire (orange, red, yellow), and just made the third one-timer of the team to make Team Fire (blue), the replay will show him on Team Fire, although he scored with regular fire.
Myles Darby.

Glitch: Audience does not stop:
If you go into replay and have it paused, the audience will keep moving, clapping, cheering, etc.

Glitch: Changing difficulty:
When playing any kind of game, such as Championship or Franchise, pause game play and go to the settings. Change the setting to "Rookie". Then close to the end of the game, change it to "All-Star" or "Pro" When the game is over, it will state that you played at either Pro or All-Star, but you will get paid by Rookie points or credits.
