Hey there. nm14 is here to create yet another FAQ, and this time it is for
NHLPA 93. I noticed that there were NO FAQs for this game, so I decided to
share a little bit of knowledge with you guys. I will try to do my best to give
you some strategies and information regarding the game. Let's get on with this
FAQ, shall we?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N 2.0 E-Mail Policy N
H ------------------- H
L L
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will accept any emails as long as they follow the below guidelines. If you
need further explaination in the walkthrough, go ahead and e-mail me. Please
read the following.
1. Don't e-mail me information already in the FAQ.
Seriously, if you are going to waist my time and e-mail me, it better not be in
the FAQ. That really makes it very frustrating when I have to answer questions
I have already answered. Let's just put it this way, if you have a doubt in the
game, READ the FAQ. If it is not there then please e-mail me. I would be glad
to add information given by you (credit will be given). I also have no
problem helping people on any puzzles or just one general area of the game.
I think you are starting to get the point.
2. Subject
Please, when you e-mail, place something related to this FAQ in the subject. I
am not always in the mood to check mail that looks junky so I might throw it
out. Usually if I get your e-mail I will write back to you. So if I don't write
back, I probably didn't get your FAQ. All understood?
3. Credit
Please, I encourage people to find information or alternate strategies in doing
something. I would like to build it on my FAQ and will always give rightful
credit to the one providing the information. That is something I really like to
do. Just e-mail me a tip, trick, secret etc.
Just please follow these rules and everything will go fine. I hope you are
satisfied with these conditions. Thanks for your cooperation.

This is also know as a slapshot. More information will be given in the

Welcome to the straegy section of this FAQ. I am going to give you strategies
that I have used over the years, so do not complain that you cannot do my
strategies. It is all I can offer!
-----------------
~-Ways to Score-~
-----------------
1. The Fake
-----------------
I like to call this move the fake. Here is how to do it. First, head towards
the goalie with an offensive player. If you have a defensive player ahead of
you, try to head back and start the play over. If not, head up to the goalie.
I love how the goalies are very stupid in this game. Anyway, tilt the d-pad a
bit to the left or right (whichever you want to make the fake on) and quickly
change your direction to the other side. Then tap the A button to do a wrist
shot, and there you go! You have put the goal in the net, and you can listen
to the *pretty bad* sounding siren!
2. Wrap Around
-----------------
This is a relatively easy way of scoring as well, but my personal favorite is
the fake move. Anyway, to do the wrap around, simply head to the other team's
zone of the ice. Try to get behind the net. This might be a good time to pass
so that the opposing team does not put you on your butt. So, head around the
net (just like a wrap around) and quickly dump the puck in the net. Try to
time it perfectly, and it will work every time. I will make a little diagram
for this move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow the arrows.

| \_____/ \/.....This is where you tap A. (You can also do this on the
other side of the ice. Just change the diagram.
^
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. One-Timers
-----------------
This is a simple way of scoring in this game, although I must say it is likely
to be the cheapest way of playing. I find that this works best off of the face
offs, but you can really do it anywhere. I like to win the face off back to my
defenseman, and have him press A to one-time the shot past the goalie. This
means that you must press A right as the puck comes to the player. I noticed
that it goes through the goalies 5-hole maybe 50% of the time. I would like to
say that this is very reasonable.
-------------------
~-Playing Defense-~
-------------------
1. Clear the Zone
-------------------
This is very important when you are on a penalty kill, just need to change your
line. Try to stay behind your net, and wait for your opponent to attack you. If
they come, go the opposite way that they came. This basically loses one of the
defenders. Now, pass the puck up ice so that your are past the red line. Then,
shoot the puck in so that the referees do not call you for icing. Change your
lines, and get ready to attack.
2. Change Lines
-------------------
This actually goes for offense and defense, but is a bit more important on the
defensive side. To keep your fastest players on the ice, you are going to have
to rest, and change your lines. This can catch the computer off guard at times
if you put a past person on the ice when they have slow backups in.
3. Clear the Net
-------------------
This is very important on defense. If a player of the opposing team is sitting
and waiting for a pass in front of the net, you have to do something. Simply
bump them out of the way. Also, try to keep a player in the crease at all
times so that if there are rebounds, you will be the first one to clear them
out. This can also be said about offense. Try to wait for your team members
to get in front of the net. This gives you a second chance at a goal if you
shoot from long range. They can always get the rebound and put the puck in
the net.
