In dynasty mode rack up on draft picks by signing unwanted free agents and trading them to random teams for draft picks Doing this also earns you GM experience points
Use the following trick to get high draft picks without trading good players Once a draft is completed see which teams took the first few picks and remember their names Go to the Trade Players screen in the GM menu The team that just took their first round pick will usually trade away that player for a third or first round pick Note You do not receive your draft picks to trade until the beginning of the next season
You can easily make all the other teams in the league in dynasty mode go broke by simply trading them salaries Go to the Free Agency screen and sign anyone desired the worse the better for longterm contracts and millions of dollars Then trade those players to the other teams The CPU will accept any trade if they do not have to give up anything in return for example a trade for a 50 overall defenseman with a 6 year deal worth 25 million a season Doing this allows you to sign free agents in the off season very easily as no one else will be able to afford them

Fat rebounds
Take your quotbig shooterquot player with the puck skate him into the opposing teams zone holding Turbo and blast the puck near the red dot just outside the blue line but be onside This shot causes rebounds and unexpected goals Remember it is better to shoot from the red dot on the side of the goalies blocker so he cannot glove it Using a sniper will result in rebounds not as large but have a better chance for a goal Using an all out attack is the best strategy for this trick
Bouncing puck
Go to game settings menu and adjust the quotPuck Frictionquot quotPuck Gravityquot and every option you can adjust on that screen that has to do with the puck Go to a game and shoot the puck down the ice If it does not hit the goalie the puck should be bouncing all over the place until it runs out of speed
Get puck back
If you are down by a goal late in the game and the other team has the puck move your quotOffensive Quick Playquot to quotAll Out Attackquot and your quotDefensive Quick Playquot to quotHigh Pressurequot to put maximum pressure on the opposing team so you can get the puck back in your possession
Goalie scraps
Take one of your enforcers and get as close to your goalie as possible Then smash another player into your goalie This causes interference with the goalie and will make him mad If this is done correctly or enough times you should see your goalie grappling with a player then he will fight with the other goalie It is difficult to get him to scrap but when he does it is well worth it Note It will take some time to get this to happen
