Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, insert the disc into your Playstation console while the system is powered off or in standby mode. Because this is a 2006 title, ensure your console’s laser lens is clean to prevent read errors during gameplay. Maintain your game disc by handling it only by the edges and storing it in its original jewel case away from direct sunlight or extreme moisture. When navigating the menus for the first time, it is highly recommended to visit the 'Practice Mode' to familiarize yourself with the specific button mappings for puck handling and checking before diving into a full season or playoff mode.
