SEGA SPORTS TIP: Perfecting the Pass
Good puck movement is the key to taking apart your
opponent’s defense. Find the open man and put the
puck right on his stick for a quality scoring chance.

SEGA SPORTS TIP: Be Patient
Unless you’re on a breakaway, allow your team time to
regroup before entering the attacking zone. The more
men you have inside your opponent’s blue line, the better
your chances at controlling the puck and setting up a
quality shot.

SEGA SPORTS TIP: One-Timer
Use the One-Timer (defined in Glossary) to catch your
opponents off guard. Pass the puck across the crease
and have your teammate slam it to the back of the net.

Triangular:The wingmen form a triangular formation with
the center. The players then try to get the puck and "funnel"
it in close to the goal for a good scoring chance. If you
listen to an NHL broadcast, you may hear this strategy
referred to as "cycling." The objective of this system is to
create a 3-on-2 or, better yet, a 2-on-1 situation.
Overload Slot:A more aggressive style of play is known as
overloading the slot. When the fir st rush is stopped and the
follow-up attack does not result in a play on the net, the
puck is passed out to the point (defenseman farthest back in
the attacking zone). The defensemen then try to score by
shooting a hard slap shot. The forwards go to the net and
attempt to pick up the rebound.

Positional, Triangular, Overload Slot
Positional: Positional play is a conservative offensive
scheme that is the cornerstone of any hockey team. The two
forwards will alternately attack the net. While one forward is
attacking the net, the other will be holding back and
thinking defensively.

SEGA SPORTS TIP: Controlling the shot
Direct your shot by using the left analog stick while
shooting the puck. Look where the goalie is setting up and
use it to your advantage. If he has flopped onto the ice,
press up on the left analog stick while shooting to send the
puck high. If he's still on his feet, you can try going to the
five hole (between his legs) by pressing down on the left
analog stick.
SEGA SPORTS TIP:The Deke
You're on a breakaway, it’ s just you and the goalie.
Use the Deke to confuse the goalie and put the biscuit
in the basket.

Box Plus 1: The Box Plus One is a forceful defense. It is a
balanced system, with the two wings and defensemen
forming a box. This system’s standard principle is to k eep
the opposition’s unit outside the box. The center ’s role is to
help out the other players, particularly the defensemen.
1-2-2: The 1-2-2 is a mixed defense. The wings come low to
support the defensemen, but the center moves out to the blue
line in order to harass the opposition's defense and keep
them out of the play. The center will also look for timely
breakaway scoring chances which adds to opposition's worry.
SEGA SPORTS TIP: Hooking
When used discreetly, hooking can be an effective method
of unbalancing the opposition. Be careful, overuse will
attract the referee’s attention, earning you minutes in the
penalty box.
18
SEGA SPORTS TIP: Check Please.
Check hard. Check often. Keeping your opponent on the
ice will close off their passing lanes and disrupt the rhythm
of their attack.
Defensive Strategies
Zone:The Zone is a conservative coaching strategy.
The defensive zone is divided into five areas. It asks
the defensemen to outplay the opposition in all
1-on-1 situations.

SEGA SPORTS TIP:The rebound
Any time there’s a shot on goal, be wary of a possible
deflection off the goalie’s pads. This is the perfect
opportunity to catch him off-balance and slap the puck into
the back of the net.

SEGA SPORTS TIP: Penalty Killing
Unless you’re down a goal or two in the closing moments
of the game, play it safe; check the attackers and dump the
puck back into their defensive zone (clearing the puck).
Don’t worry, icing is disabled in penalty kill situations.

SEGA SPORTS TIP: Strategize.
Be sure to experiment with all the strategies available and
find the ones that best suit your style of play. It’s also a
good idea to choose your strategy to suit your team’s
strengths and weaknesses.
Line Matchups
From the Choose Uniforms screen you can press the L2
button to set the line matchups. When your opponent goes
to change lines, you can make sure you’re matched up
player for player. In order for Line Matchups to function,
line changes must be set to Auto (see Options Menu).
Importance: Move this slider to the right to keep your lines
matched no matter how fatigued. Move to the left to take a
more conservative approach.
GAME MODES
Exhibition: Exhibition allows you to start a quick game
using a wider array of teams including NHL, All-Star and
International. Playing in an international setting means a
bigger rink, two-line passes and an alternate icing rule.
Season: Do you have what it takes to guide your team
through a grueling NHL season and deep into the playoffs?
Do you have what it takes to win Lord Stanley's Cup?
Season Mode gives you the opportunity to find out.
Franchise: Play season after season and build your team
into a dynasty. You will have to manage everything for
your team: sign your free agents, acquire new players and
manage the budget.
Playoffs: Forget the season and head straight into the
playoffs. The competition will be tough. Will it be your
team hoisting Lord Stanley's cup?

Coaching Strategies
With NHL 2K3 you get to control the offensive and
defensive style of your team. If you want to go for it all
you’ve got to ratchet up your aggressi veness by pressing
the directional button left. If you want to protect a lead
you’ve got to dial back your aggressi veness and play a
more conservative style of play by pressing the directional
button right.
directional button Left + R1 . . More Aggressive
directional button Right + R1. . Less Aggressive
Line Changes
The forwards and defensemen are broken into units called
lines. Teams have certain lines to suit different situations.
There are lines to take advantage of power plays, to kill
penalties, to play strong defense and to play strong offense.
Use the controls listed below to get new players out onto
the ice. Don't call for a line change when the other team is
attacking your goal. You can make adjustments to your
lines via the Rosters / Lines menu. Mix things up to create
the best scoring and defensive setups.
directional button Up. . . . . . . Next Offensive Line
directional button Down . . . . Next Defensi ve Line
SEGA SPORTS TIP: Keep your Lines Fresh
The longer the lines are on the ice, the more fatigued the
players become. Wait for your players to cross center-ice,
then dump the puck into the offensive zone and switch
them out. If you can cycle your lines effectively, you will
maximize your team's chances of success.

GLOSSARY
Assistant Captain:The Assistant Captain wears the letter 'A'
on his jersey and can speak to the referee in regards to
interpretations of the rules when the Captain is not out on the
ice. Traditionally teams have two assistant captains, but
sometimes they have up to four players rotate the duties of
assistant captain throughout the season.
Captain:The leader of the team. The captain wears a
letter 'C' on his jersey and is one of the only players who
can question a referee in regards to an interpretation of
the rules.
Check: Skating into a player who has the puck.
Delayed Penalties: If the team without the puck commits a
penalty, the referee can call a delayed penalty. He will
signify this by raising his hand high in the air. The team
with the puck will pull their goalie to add an extra man on
offense. As soon as the team that committed the penalty
touches the puck, the penalty is called.
Face-Off:At the onset of each period, after a stoppage in
play, after a goal and after a penalty, both teams will square
off in a face-off. The referee will drop the puck between two
opposing players.
Fighting: Sometimes players will “drop the gloves” in order
to stand their ground, however, engaging in fisticuffs will
result in a five-minute penalty.
Forechecking: Checking the player with the puck in his
defensive zone or the neutral zone.
Hooking: When a player uses his stick to impede the
progress of an opponent, he can be called for hooking,
punishable with two minutes in the penalty box.
36
Puck Protection:Toggle between Auto and Manual.
Vibration Feature:Toggle this off or on.
Player Lock Types
Unlocked: Control the player with the puck, or switch to the
player nearest the puck.
Semi-Manual: Similar to Unlocked, despite player controls
not automatically switching if pass is missed.
Manual:You have complete control of player selection.
Full-Lock: Remain locked on Preferred Start Position.
Game Play:This is your game and via the Sega Sports
Game Play Options you can make it just that. With twentythree individual, adjustable options NHL 2K3 will satisfy
even the pickiest of hockey fanatics.
Presentation Options
Change everything in regards to how you view and hear
the game. The exciting presentation and style of ESPN is
going to make the game better than ever. Increase the
play-by-play commentary, adjust the crowd or change the
volume of the sound effects. NHL 2K3 allows you to
change it all.

Icing: Icing occurs when the team passes, shoots or deflects
the puck across the red center line and then past the red
goal line in that team's offensive zone without the puck
being touched by another member of that team. Teams that
are a man short (killing a penalty) are allowed to ice the
puck. In the international game, icing is called as soon as
the puck crosses the goal line.
Interference: Interference occurs when one player impedes
the progress of another player who does not have the puck
and is punishable with a two-minute penalty.
Lines:The group of five players out on the ice. Teams have
different lines for different situations: lines for penalty
killing, power plays, hard defense, extra offense, etc.
Offsides:The puck must precede the offensive team across
the blue line that marks the offensive zone. If the player
crosses the blue line before the puck, offsides is called and
a face-off will occur in the neutral zone.
One Timer: A one-timer occur s when a player tak es a
slapshot on the puck after one of his teammates has passed
it to him. This is much like hitting a baseball that has been
pitched to you. There is no real possession of the puck on
the part of the player being passed to.
Roughing: Roughing is an altercation between two players
that is more than a normal check, but less than an all-out
fight. Roughing is punishable with two minutes in the
penalty box.
Two-Line Pass: A two-line pass is called when a player
makes a pass that crosses the red center line and the blue
line (or vice-versa) without being touched in-between the
two lines by a teammate. Two-Line passing is allowed with
International Rules.
