NHL 2002
Barenaked Ladies
----------------
Create a player using one of the following names: Jim Creeggan,
Tyler Stewart, Steven Page, Ed Robertson, or Kevin Hearn. The game
will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match
that band member.
Slap Shot players
-----------------
Select the EA Blades team under the custom team category.
Enter one of the following players from the Charlestown Chiefs team
from the movie Slap Shot and their names will be announced during the
game: Reggie Dunlop, Ned Braden, Dave Carlson, Johnny Upton, Morris
Wanchuk, and Billy Charlebois.
Bonus players
-------------
Create a player and enter Tom Barrasso or Andrew Raycroft as a name and
the game will complete his abilities and stats.
All-Star teams
--------------
Play through a season and finish the All-Star game. Save the game and
two All-Star teams will be unlocked at the team selection screen.
Easy goals
----------
Go to the controller configuration screen and change any one of the
shoulder buttons to "Deflection". Get a defenseman to fire the puck
and press that button and the puck should go in the net.
Skate straight at the goalie. Immediately before you would normally
run into him, cut to whatever direction the player's stick is (i.e. if
a player is left-handed, cut left.) Immediately after the cut, press
Shoot.
Trade for a higher player
-------------------------
Keep trading up one or two overall numbers until you get to the player
you want. For example, trade Mark Messier (80) trade for Oates (81).
Then trade Oates for an 82 and so on.
When trading for higher players you cannot get a high defenseman for
anything other than another defenseman.
Better player
-------------
Play as two players on different teams and pull the goalie on one team.
Have the person you want to improve pass it to him and shoot. Keep scoring
with that person for about fifteen goals. During the next game, he will
be a big shooter.
Fighting moves
--------------
If you get in a fight, press Square for a high punch and X for a low
punch. Press Square + X for an uppercut that will take a lot of life
from your opponent.
Better fight outcome
--------------------
When you get yourself into a fight, do not throw any punches.
When the fight is over, the other player will get a 5 minute major
for fighting and you will only get a 2 minute penalty for roughing.
