NHL 2005 Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: Haspa Easy goals: ----------- * For all European teams is the World Cup of Hockey, all goalies will let in hard wrist shots from either the right or left. * If you turbo across the front of the net and shoot on the other side you are more likely to score. * Go up the right wing to the hash marks. Turn half way around and one time it. You will score about 90% of the time under the beginner, easy, or medium difficulty settings, and 70% under difficult setting. Deflections: ------------ Deflections can be done the same way as a one-timer. Shoot from the point and press [Shoot] again with players in front. Breakaways: ----------- Most aggressive face-off formations have a far winger. Shooting or passing the puck in his direction might lead to some breakaways. Getting good players cheaply: ----------------------------- Get your legal upgrades all the way up so that you can sign players for less. Save the game then release a high paying player into free agency. Immediately negotiate a new contract. With all the upgrades you can get players to take multimillion dollar pay cuts. Make sure you save first -- if you go too low on the offer the player may be insulted and not talk to your team anymore. Recommended players: -------------------- If you need some extra help at the beginning of your dynasty (the first day), go to free agents. Make sure the best players are at the top are signed. Some of them include Iginla, Luongo, McCabe, and Lemieux. Easy goals: ----------- When you have the puck, use Open Ice Support to switch players. Have the player without the puck go to the opposite side of the goal. Have the player with the puck pass it to you, and do a one-timer. That should get a goal about 95% of the time. One-Timers are done by pressing [Shoot] just before it gets to the player. Breakaways: ----------- Most aggressive face-off formations have a far winger. Shooting or passing the puck in his direction might lead to some breakaways. Keep team pads on custom team: ------------------------------ When making a custom team you usually have a goalie with white pads. To get his team pads, choose the purple symbol that looks like a wildcat with a scar across it. After this is done, any goalie from an NHL team (except for free agents or goalies that are under 70) will have colored pads.
