Welcome to the cheats for NHL 2005 for the Xbox. Below are the cheats.
Easy goals
First, choose the "Aggressive Faceoff" with the Left Analog-stick. Pass to the player to your right. That exact player can go easily in a breakaway. While you control this player, call for help with R2. When you get halfway between the goal and the blue line, stop for about three sec. By stopping, you will dodge the opposing defense's check. Then, go on in a circular way to the back of the goal. Hold Circle and release it when you get just about past the net. You will score a goal about 80% of the time. Additionally, for all European teams in the World Cup of Hockey, all goalies will let in hard wrist shots from either the right or left.
Breakaways
Most aggressive face-off formations have a far winger; shooting or passing the puck in his direction can lead to some breakaways.
Deflections
Deflections can be done the same way as a one-timer; shoot from the point and press Shoot again with players in front.
