Alright, so like most people here, I've played this game to death, and still play it with a group of my friends on a weekly, to bi monthly basis.
Annnnnd like most people, I've stumbled across some glitches that are actually effective in the game, but not overly cheap since everyone can do it...
*ALL GLITCHES PERFORMED ON A SUPER NINTENDO*
1) Alright, starting with a simple glitch that I never don't use anymore, it's just reaction... This is for SNES exclusive as far as I know... Pushing the Y button after you've been knocked down will immediately get you back up.
This can be done after your player has been injured as well for a nice... goofy... effect.
2) Removing your goaltender from the crease and giving him the opportunity to skate around the ice, free form, which can in turn knock over players, or the oppositions goaltender... (and can even draw interference penalties on the oppositions goaltender ... see glitch 3) To do this, you must have at least two people on one team... just as your opponents take a penalty, and you've touched the puck push the X button and wala, you're the goalie now. Timing is key, you have about a second or two to push X, then you're the goalie! Free as a bird knocking over everything you see. I use this glitch all the time =P
Note: This can also be done by replacing the goalie with the backup, or NONE, then pushing X... (or you might have to push X prior, then replacing the goalie, I forget...)
3) Oppositions goaltender gets an interference penalty, the result being a player is in net... not the back up. This has only happened once to us, needless to say the player subbing in for the goalie (who was Andy Moog, and for whichever reason the coach decided Blue wasn't the good fit...) was amazing. The player ended up with a shutout through the remaining two periods, Andy Moog didn't replace him after his penalty expired, which again, is beyond me.
4) Players randomly get pulled out of the ice surface, and into the crowd... I don't know how to get this to work, it's happened maybe 3 times ever for me... At one point I was left with two players on the ice, apparently the fans just wanted to get a bit... closer... to my players.
5) Strange sound effects from one timer shots... Occasionally the sound of a drumb, or a sniper rifle goes off? Again, this is random, and happens once in every few games. Easier to reproduce in instant replay, silly glitch.
6) Mario Lemiex's head / Stick / Pucks are displayed at the top of the instant replay screen. This occurs randomly, like the previous two glitches... and infrequently as well. Might just be my Super Nintendo going wonky for all three of these.
7) Players aren't creditted with an assist. Every now and then a player is denied his assist... for whichever reason. This happens frequently enough for people to not care anymore, but infrequently enough for my friends and I to laugh when it does happen.
8) A goal scored with 0 seconds left. For some reason you can score with 0 seconds left, I dunno why.
This is all I can really think of right now, we've had some glitches on penalty shots where the player couldn't access the puck for some reason... I forget how to reproduce that one...
Anyone else have some funky glitches to share?
