Xavier Delisle Most of the real-life EA Sports personnel who worked on making the game are available as hidden characters. To access the EA players, go to the create-a-player section and input any EA Sports personnel name, which can be found in the credits section towards the back of the instruction booklet. Most (but not all) of the names exist as hidden players, including several names from the "thanks" list, along with commentator "Jim Hughson", rink announcer "Jon McComb" and Vancouver Canucks coach/NHL 2003 strategist "Marc Crawford". If you play in franchise mode, these players will occasionally appear in the rookie draft for you to sign. Note that the female Christian names have been substituted for viable male alternatives: e.g. Susan Smith is "Steve Smith", and Christine Staples is "Christie Staples". You will have to experiment to work the girls out. If you can be bothered to create enough of the players, you can fill out the EA Blades and EA Storm Custom Teams with actual EA Sports players to give you a further two teams to play with.
At the created player screen, enter various names of real players that do not appear in the rosters (such as "Eric Lindros" ). Their exact profile and face will appear.
Create a player using one of the following names of members of the Bare Naked Ladies: "Jim Creeggan", "Tyler Stewart", "Steven Page", "Ed Robertson", or "Kevin Hearn". The game will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match that band member.
Enter the following as a last name in create a character and the game will say the phrase when you score or get selected for three stars, get a penalty etc.: "The Dude", "Hammer", "The Wall". Remember, the entries with two words are both in the last name field.
Enter "Claw X" as a name to create a player by that same name.
Enter "Wayne Gretzky" as a created player name to unlock him.
Announced created player names
In the create a player option, use common last names (for example, Murray) or last names of players already present to have them announced during the game.
