NHL 06 Cheats - Xbox

Breakaway
When you are coming down on a breakaway, press [Right Analog-stick Up]. This will cause your player drop the puck to his skate, then kick it back up to his skate. This is the most highly effective move in the game.

Through the leg trick
In order to do the through the leg trick, press the [Right Analog-stick Down] anywhere in the rink. Note: This is a shot.

Easy goals
Hold [L] while moving the [Right Analog-stick] near the opposing team's goal. You will flip the puck up into the air and bat it into the net like a baseball.

While holding your shot, move the [Left Analog-stick] to find open netting for an easy goal. This can be done for any shot. Note: This can only be done if you have manual aim activated. A target will appear if you have manual aim on. Its not necessarily easy because you have control your player as well as select an open part to shoot at.

Send a player in one on one with the goalie. Pass the puck back to either your Right Wing or Left Wing. As soon as your stick leaves the ice, the goalie dives and the net will be wide open for a shot.

When coming in on the net, move [Left Analog-stick] [Left] to [Right] repeatedly and quickly. The goalie will almost always dive, leaving a lot of room for an easy high shot.

When going down the ice (on the left side if your player is left handed), curve across the net then move the [Right Analog-stick Left] and hold the [Left Analog-stick Up/Right] to roof it.

When you try to do a special deke with the [Right Analog-stick] with a player that does not have the skills to do it, it can be taken advantage of. When another player on your team is close to you, do one of the special dekes. The player will loose control of the puck and it will be loose on the ice. Then, use the other player to quickly shoot the loose puck. This shot is a very fast one-timer that he goalie has almost no chance against.

To do the scoop move, stop behind the opponents net. Hold [L] then move the [Right Analog-stick Right]. You will put the puck on top of your stick and shovel it in the net.

Dynasty mode: High rated prospects
To get a high rated prospect you do not need to upgrade your scouting report. First, save the game after the season ends. Then, advance to the draft. Draft a player or just go into the second round. Look at the highest overall draft pick, load back your season, and draft that person.

Recommended players
Trade for Tampa Bay's, Martin St. Louis. He has an overall rating of 95, and when the game speed is set the highest, he can out-skate any player.

Glitch: Strange move
When in the opponent's side of the ice, press [X] and quickly press the [Right Analog-stick] downward. You will go between your legs but the puck stays on your stick.
