  1. Guaranteed ways to score:

    Easy on pro:  If your skater shoots left, skate from the top of the rink, right side, and move left into the high slot.  As you're skating left, move the right analog stick left, down, and up/right. (moving it left and down first will give you more snap to your wrist shot)  Try to perfect this in practice mode until you get it.  If your skater's right handed, just do the opposite.

    Easy on Rookie, Pro, and All-star, (sometimes superstar).

    When doing a one timer, instead of just passing in front of the net (which on the harder levels will be intercepted every time), do a slap pass.  Pull or push the right analog stick up or down (depending on which way your shooting) and press the pass button across the net, following through with the analog stick for the one timer.  

    Don't do a complete wind up for the fake shot.  The quicker you pass after winding up, the harder and faster the pass will be to your teammate.  This will result in your player (teammate) sometimes missing the pass, b/c it's so hard and fast, but he will just as often connect with it on net.  The pass is too fast for the defender to intercept, and too fast for the goalie (most of the time) to react to.  Do this enough, like throughout a whole game, and you'll definitely score multiple times.  Also, on pro, if your coming across the blue line into the offensive zone, take a huge slap shot, directing it up and to the left or right, depending on which way your skating.  Shoot towards the side you are skating towards.  (previous games were automatic goals with shooting to the opposite i.e. skating left and slap shot right), Shoot towards the way you're skating and you'll get a few that way too.  Not as frequent, but on pro it can be done.  Mix it up, practice, and you'll be dominating.


  2. This usually works pretty well in the beginning of the game. Bring the puck down low or even behind the net and try working it to the slot. I f it is a clean pass and your player is in the right position you have a good chance at scoring. Once this starts being ineffective you should try          from the point, you can get a lot of juicy rebounds or tips.

  3. u must be horrible

  4. set the difficulty down to rookie first.

    Second chance the settings to where your accuracy is about near full and shot power to one notch above halfway.

    Third to score more easier deke left to right with the right analog then shoot!You can also do one-timers which are pretty simple.The more easier it becomes the more the difficulty and the accuracy can go up and down.

  5. easy

    2 on 1

  6. practice
