If you are skating with someone that has a very high rank in the Deke category such as Joe Sakic, Kariya, etc., once you get past the opposition's blue line, press Down, then press Auto Deke. Immediately after he is done with the Deke, press Shoot. You will score about 95% of the time.

Take any big shooter and let him take a slapshot directly in the middle of the hash marks. Shoot for the top corner. This will work about 90% of the time. If a defender is on you, once in three zone move to the left or right, then cut back left or right and take you slapshot.

Fake to the left, then Deke to the right and do a wrist shot.

In practice, take the puck and skate up ice. Stop slightly in front of the blue line and hold Left + Square. The puck should go under the goalie's stick and into the bottom left corner of the goal. Note: This only works when you are in action view going up ice.

Get the puck to one of your skaters that is a hero (player that has a red name instead of black). Go in front of the other team's net. You must be about in the middle of the red circles in front of the net. Then, wind up for a slapshot, fill the meter all the way to the top, and shoot. You will score about 85% of the time with no one in front of you.

Under any difficulty setting, skate the puck into the offensive zone and speed burst past the defenseman. By this time, you will be just "southeast" of the goaltender. At this point another forward should have skated to the other post and is waiting for a pass. Pass the puck over and press Shoot. Almost every time the goaltender will flop to the ice, leaving you an open net.

A player with good shot aim or puck handling is recommended. Set "Shot Aim" to "Manual". Choose the away team so your goal is on the top part of the screen. Give the puck to a right-handed wing or center. They often shoot the best. Take the puck down to the big circle on the right with the cross in it. As you get to the cross press Shoot and hold Down. It should put the puck right through the five hole. Note: This will not work every time. For the same results you can do the opposite and give the puck to a left handed person and shoot from the left circle. Lefties seem to do this better.
