NHL 94 REWIND

Just in case anyone is wondering, considering that the other 2 guides are written in an unclear style to my taste:

- You can choose any length game, 20 minutes gives more chance to score though, recommended if you have difficulties
- Regular season game is fine
- Choose All Star East against Detroit
- no penalties makes life easier, as there will be no offside
- allow Detroit to take the lead or score an own goal, all that matters is by the last third at 2:59 you should be down by 1 goal. Try to arrive to this point having the puck at your team, behind your own goal.
- at 2:59 3rd period, press menu, change goalie, no goalie, resume game
- watch your goalie to skate to the bench. I followed him with my player with the puck to make sure. Once he left the ice, PAUSE IMMEDIATELY AND RETURN HIM. So change goalie, choose one of them, resume game
- he will come back to the ice, play normally, tie the game, then win in regular or overtime
- so once again, the goalie should not be on the bench until you equalize, just have to leave for a second then he can come back immediately

This would have save me 3 hours of trying just to concede empty net goals in the 57th minute again and again.

The other solutions are not bad, but I recommend this setup, with some tips.

Your team: West All-Stars. Their players are faster overall than the East All-Stars.

Opponent team: New Jersey. For this achievement, what is most important is having an opposing goalie that is easy to score against. Not only is New Jersey a poor team overall, their starting goalie is rated a 46, the lowest in the game. Most goalies are at least 60.

Like everyone else recommends, offsides, penalties, and line changes off.

Once you are under 2:59 in the 3rd, down a goal and pull your goalie, if you shoot and the CPU goalie saves it, immediately crowd their goalie with your player. This will force a face-off in the attacking zone, which is better than allowing the goalie to pass to a player that could shoot or pass towards your empty net. Of course this strategy is most viable if you then win the ensuing face-off.

For scoring with the extra attacker (or any time), don't always just rush the net with your player the first chance you get, unless you get a wide open breakaway. You are usually better off waiting for help to arrive and trying to setup a one-timer. If the one-timer isn't there and you have a clear shot on goal, slapshots can be successful (hold the shoot button instead of tapping it). And sometimes on a rebound you have to just crash the net and pray.

One additional tidbit, if the game goes to overtime, you must score in the overtime period (unless you happened to set the game for playoff instead of regular season). If the overtime period expires and the game is still tied, the game will simply end in a tie. This did not occur to me the first time I successfully forced overtime when attempting this. I just thought it would be like a playoff game where overtime goes on forever until someone scores. Good luck! This can be a frustrating one but with enough practice I'm sure you can knock it out eventually.

This can be done on 5 min periods.
Run down the first two periods by skating or AFK near your goal.
When you get to the third period wait until 3 minutes left, remove the goalie using the pause screen and score an own goal to go 0-1.
You will now need to score without conceding.
Upon scoring to level 1-1 you CAN now get the goalie back, you dont need to play the remainder of the final period goalie-less. This can be done by pressing the pause screen again and choosing the goalie option when the line out changes options appear on the screen AFTER scoring. Once done, resume and choose the line out of your choice and the goalie will be back in goal to protect the lead you will be getting shortly.
Score again and once the game ends and you have successfully won, when you're back at the menu screen, the achievement will pop.
Congrats.

East and West All Stars have a team rating of 92. LA Kings have a rating of 60 so I went with them as the opposition.

WARNING - GAME UPDATED: Some people are reporting the goalie goes to the bench now and on launch it was just glitched, making this way harder in that case. RIP. However maybe you can wait 2 secs and put your goalie back in and it works?

If you're wondering: Your goalie can still be in you; just have to hit 'no goalie' in the menus.

EDIT: re-wrote the guide, added some context for non-hockey people at the bottom.

For this guide you should go into the last 3 minutes of period 3/3 down by a goal (for example losing 0-1 or 2-3, etc...).

I found choosing an All-Star team against Detroit Red Wings or Florida Panthers was easiest (Florida and Detroit have weak teams), in a season game I think its called.

The easiest way to go down just 1 goal, is just not touch the controller and wait for them to shoot it, or pass it to your goalie. Immediately hit , go to SWITCH GOALIES and choose no goalie. Hit to resume the game. Have your goalie keep it to force a whistle, and wait for the AI to score or own goal. Before the AI goal celebration is finished, go back to the goalie option but choose the middle option (should be your best goalie).

If you don't touch your controller the AI couldn't seem to score.

In period 3 when the in-game clock hits 2:59, hit and go to the menu from before where you chose no goalie. Conveniently your goalie will stay in net but the achievement will count. To prevent any whistles don't ice it (shoot it into their zone from behind the redline) and if your goalie gets it make sure to pass it away.

I found 2 ways to score:

1. skate the puck in, then hope that your AI teammates can get in front for a pass that the AI goalie isn't ready for, then one time it. Hold down the pass button to do a harder pass.

2. hope for a breakaway, fake going one way then go the other way. Your right controller stick is where the puck is around you.

Remember to put your goalie back in while your teams goal celebration is ongoing. Now score again before the game ends or more likely in overtime.

For reference: in hockey you can pull your goalie for an extra skater. This is commonly done at the end of a game when you're behind for a better chance at tying the score. For example this video has some exciting times it worked. Obviously the downside is your net is empty so its easier for the other team to score again.


Luckily in this game when you pull your goalie they don't leave until a whistle, so it reduces risk for us going for the achievement.

ESPAÑOL:
Después de sufrir mucho logré hallar una manera para anotar goles relativamente "fácil" y usarla en mi método para sacar este logro:

Configuración del partido:
Play Mode: Regular Season
Team 1: Pittsburgh
Team 2: Detroit
Per. Lenght: 5 Minutes
Goalies: Manual Control
Penalties: Off

1. Juega con Pittsburg e inicia el partido. Presiona y quita al goalie (portero) en Change Goalie, eligiendo "no goalies" con y luego a "Resume Game".

2. Deja que Detroit tome la delantera. Si no pueden, anota en tu propia portería hasta que tengan ventaja por 1 gol o más.

3. Cuando estés en el tercer tiempo (Period) del partido y te queden menos de 3 minutos, presiona y vuelve a poner al portero en Change Goalie, eligiendo al primero de la lista con y luego dale a "Resume Game".

4. En el tiempo que te queda, empata el partido y si puedes, gánale a Detroit. Si se van a tiempo extra por empatar, haz una anotación para ganar el partido.

El logro me tardó un poco en saltar. Abajo dejo un video mostrando cómo hice esto.

NOTA: Si sientes que vas perdiendo y no podrás remontar, puedes presionar y luego darle a "Exit Game" para volver a intentarlo.

CONSEJO PARA ANOTAR GOLES:
Corre con el disco verticalmente y cuando estés cerca de la portería, gira rápido en horizontal mientras mantienes presionado para anotar. También puedes anotar con pases de gol: pasa el disco a otro jugador con y antes de que el disco llegue, presiona para disparar a la meta de inmediato.
INGLÉS:
After suffering a lot I managed to find a way to score relatively "easy" and use it in my method to get this achievement:

Match settings:
Play Mode: Regular Season
Team 1: Pittsburgh
Team 2: Detroit
Per. Lenght: 5 Minutes
Goalies: Manual Control
Penalties: Off

1. Play with Pittsburgh and start the game. Press and remove the goalie in Change Goalie , choosing "no goalies" with and then "Resume Game".

2. Let Detroit take the lead. If they can't, score on your own goal until they have an advantage by 1 or more.

3. When you are in the third Period of the play and you have less than 3 minutes left, press and return the goalie in Change Goalie , choosing the first one on the list with and then hit "Resume Game".

4. In the time you have left, tie the game and if you can, beat Detroit. If you go into overtime for a tie, make a score to win the game.

The achievement took a while to pop for me. Below is a video showing how I did this.

NOTE: If you feel like you're losing and won't be able to come back, you can press and then give it an "Exit Game" to try again.

TIP TO SCORE GOALS:
Run with the puck vertically and when you're close to the goal, turn fast horizontally while holding to score. You can also make one-timers to score: pass the puck to other player with and then press before the puck arrives to deal an instant kick to the goal.

Everything "Jissi" Guide said worked perfectly. Scored on myself with my goalie before the 3 minutes in the 3rd period.
At 2:59 seconds remaining do the following:
Pressed Start
Change Goalie - No Goalie (by pressing "B")
Resume game by pressing start again.
Walk with the goalie to the bench and he will disappear
Press Start
Change Goalie - 36 OR 50 (Personally went with 36 because of the lower jersey number)
Resume game - Waited with the puck, for the goalie to be set.
Tie the game or win. I tied it and went to OT before winning. It popped after naming the 3 game stars.

This is where it differences happen.
Team: All Stars West
Opponent: Ottawa 57 overall.
5 minute quarters
Penalties: Off
Line Changes: Off
That's the only difference between my guide and his. Wrote his guide in case nobody sees his first. Couldn't comment on his guide for whatever reason. Easier to play against Ottawa.

*Edit February 10, 2021* - Fixed grammatical errors.

I'm adding a guide since all the guides are a combination of wrong and confusing

requirements:

- opponent must be CPU
- opponent must be up by at least 1
- 3rd period. 3:00 or less remaining on the clock
- remove your goalie (then put him back in)
- win the game after doing all the above

*THAT'S IT*

You -DO NOT- need to score while you have no goalie.

You just need to remove the goalie and can immediately put him back in.

EA has tinkered with the game's code and its behavior has changed, so guides say different things. As of June 2022, when selecting 'no goalie', the goalie will stay on the ice until a face-off. He will not skate off the ice like some guides say.

After selecting 'no goalie' you can force the goalie off the ice via causing a face-off through icing (hitting the puck from one end of the rink to the other) or out of bounds. You can immediately bring the goalie back in without scoring. Again, the goalie won't reappear until after another face-off. All you have to do after this is win. This is how I got the achievement.

I don't know how lenient this achievement is. I've heard people claim they just had to set 'no goalie', go back to the game, and immediately put the goalie back meaning the goalie never left the ice and the achievement still unlocked.

If you're like me, and the CPU scored on you after removing your goalie, here's a useful trick for this and nearly every other achievement for this game
