Just some notes here. BAP is Be A Pro mode. I made this list to coincide with how it looks in game, so, top to bottom = left to right in the game, since that is how the stat boosts are listed in the Hockey Shop menu.

For Helmets, the unlock goals are the same for whatever ability you are trying to boost as it is for the item, so, if you wanted to unlock the +5 Shot Blocking boost, you would have to block 200 shots in the EASHL.
Here is how the list goes:
Acceleration
Agility
Balance
Wrist Shot Power
Wrist Shot Accuracy
Slap Shot Power
Slap Shot Accuracy
Passing
Deking
Faceoffs
Discipline
Aggressiveness
Checking
Endurance
Toughness
Puck Control
Durability
Deflections
Shot Blocking

Hope this can be of use to those wanting to earn their equipment. Enoy!!

The easiest one to get is definitely the "win a game as the historic Canadiens team on all-star difficulty."

You get 3-boost skates for that one, so it's a great deal.

Here's an easy way to get the "win the Stanley Cup with a European team on default settings":

Quote:

Substitute HC Davos from the Swiss National League into a normal NHL season on the default settings replacing the Carolina Hurricanes. Sim all games until you get to the clincher of the Stanley Cup Finals. Win the clincher and your reward is the +5 balance boost.

Took me about 15-20 minutes total to get it.

Nice call on that. Hopefully, everyone will put in their tips on unlocking these items easily as well, since, really, only Sandy Vag girls would buy these items.

Be a man, nothing easy is worth having, and, if you have to have this ish, at least have some self pride and unlock it like a man. This ain't Madden, Ladies...

[jyoung]

'Nother easy one:

+3 deflections for winning 5 online shootouts:

Quote:

Even if you suck at this, so do most other people playing online. I used Pittsburgh because they have a nice mix of shooters and a strong goalie. My advice is to move as little as possible in goal until the shooter has confined himself to taking a certain angle with his skating and body positioning. On offense, try coming in at an angle and faking hard one way then shooting the other way.

Took about 20 minutes to get that one.

I'm a noob to the forum, but I think this is a great idea and will participate in these tests. Personally, I think this thread should be stickied: I'm the type of guy who "needs" to have the best RPG stuff, but I rented the game and thus don't want to buy the upgrades (yes, spending all that time instead is ridiculous, but that's just me...).

I can confirm that:

- For the "win a stanley cup in season mode with european team", you can change the rosters (for example, take Team Canada's, an idea I got from someone else), start a season, and sim ALL the way through (even last game), saving along the way if you want.

- The "win as habs centenial" is very straight forward and can be played against any team, locked position or not (but I think you have to be in control the whole time).

- A saved game right before the clinching moment (say, in season mode, right before the last game of the finals) can be loaded to unlock the challenge. I know this because I unlocked the european season stanley cup win, then didn't save my profile and the game crashed. When I loaded the game again, my stuff wasn't unlocked, so I loaded my saved game right before the last game of the finals and simmed: it unlocked the equipment.

- A saved game AFTER the clinching event (for instance, after winning the cup) does NOT work.

This makes me wonder if using other ppl's saved games would work to unlock stuff. Also makes me wonder if that's ethical since the unlockables are being sold (then again, is that ethical?).

Finally, I'm halfway through a playoff mode with default settings where I subbed a team for the centenials and sim until the last 5 minutes every game. I'll let you guys know if that works tomorrow...

Please, keep 'em coming!

[jyoung]

I thought you had to play all the games in that "go undefeated through a playoff on default settings" achievement?

Right now I've set up an 8-team playoff with the Swiss National League using Zug that's in the second of three rounds.

Subbing in the Historic Canadiens would be a lot easier, though, if you can just sim games to get it unlocked.

Edit: just simmed one with the Canadiens and it didn't count, so looks like you actually have to play the games.

[criminaldrp]

I meant simming and then intervening with 5 minutes left to the game, every game. Is that what you did?

I had forgotten to mention that I tried simming in playoff mode, even simming the entire thing (getting only wins) except the actual last finals game, which I played. All it brought me was grief when I had to watch the entire cup win celebrations with a team I didn't care about, but no unlockables... hehe.
