Learn how to make substitutions, view stats, play trivia for credits, and enter secret codes in NHL 24.
Period Stats:
Between periods and at the end of the game, a statistics screen will appear. The Game User Stats Screen displays cumulative stats from the previous period(s). Each user's stats are displayed using their assigned name or an abbreviated NHL team name.
Substitutions:
Between periods, you'll have an opportunity to substitute one or all players. You won't be able to change teams, so you'll have to choose players from your current team. At the Substitution Screen, press the D-pad Left or Right to cycle through the available players, then press the A button. If needed, repeat this process for all players.
Final Game Stats:
Once the game has ended, the Game Stats Screen is displayed. It displays the breakdown of final stats for the game. A final rundown of the Game User Stats Screen will follow.
Trivia:
In Exhibition and Championship Mode, you can play Trivia after viewing the Statistics screens to accumulate credits. Use these credits in the Hockey Shop to obtain Fantasy Arenas, teams, etc. In Franchise Mode, answering Trivia Questions correctly awards Attribute Points. These points can be used to increase your "Custom Player" attributes or "Trade" for real NHL Players.
Secret Codes:
Where To Enter The Codes:
When all of the players have been selected (and all of the players have pressed the A button), the Match-Up Screen will appear. The Matchup Screen displays the names and logos of the two comparing teams. At the top and/or bottom portion of the screen, you'll see one set of code icons (one for a 1 player game, two sets for a 2 player game, etc). You can enter codes by pressing the X button (first icon), the Y button (second icon), or the B button (third icon). When the icons you want are displayed, press the D-pad Up, Down, Left, or Right to enable the code. To input more than one code, repeat the process. The codes you entered first will flash and remain on-screen. At this point, you can enter another code before the game starts. This screen appears only for a short period of time, so you'll have to be quick to input multiple codes (not all combinations will enable codes).
How To Find Codes:
After scoring a goal, the player that scored the goal will skate around the rink. If you look closely at the crowd, they will hold signs indicating the code numbers. They are very easy to see in Replay mode.

Hints:
Easy Credits:
Play a game with the difficulty starting at the rookie setting. Before the game ends and displays your total stats, enter the pause menu and change the difficulty to All-Star. You will now get All-Star credits which can be used to buy things.
Easy Goals:
When creating a team, make one player left handed. When picking your hot spot, make it on the right faceoff circle. When playing a game enable the "Show the team's hot spot" code, put the left-handed player as your defense, win the faceoff, and get it to your defender. Skate up and shoot from where the hot spot is located. You will make it in 9 out of 10 times.
Go around your opponent's net and pass the puck to the player that is on the other side of the net. Pass it to him, and shoot immediately. The goalie will not be on that side, so it is easier to score.
When on one side of the net, cross over to the other side. When you reach the other post, shoot a slapshot or
