The Cheat Cards
Next up are the good old Cheat Cards. These can be played during a game and the duration of each particular cheat is determined by whether or not it’s a bronze, silver, gold and, in some cases, platinum (the last three cards on the following list only come in diamond). For some of the cards, the duration will be in minutes rather than periods.
Bronze - Odds (1/600), Duration (1 Period), Boost (N/A), Re-Sell Value (170 points)
Silver - Odds (1/900), Duration (2 Periods), Boost (N/A), Re-Sell Value (250 points)
Gold - Odds (1/1800), Duration (3 Periods), Boost (N/A), Re-Sell Value (505 points)

#170 Next Goal Wins (makes it sudden death overtime)

The Celebration Cards
One of the all-new features in NHL 2002 is the inclusion of user-controlled celebrations after goals. By pressing the corresponding button, either X, Circle or Triangle, the goal scorer will do the celebration that has been mapped to that button. There are six that are available at the beginner of the game and nine others that are opened up once you get one of the NHL Cards. Unlike the Player Cards and the Cheat Cards, these aren’t used up once you use them.
Diamond - Odds (1/550), Duration (N/A), Boost (N/A), Re-Sell Value (155 points)
#172 Superstar
#173 Fireworks
#174 Raise the Roof
#175 The Rodeo
#176 The Maestro
#177 Home Plate Slide
#178 The Archer
#179 Wildman
#180 The Swordsman
The Easter Egg Cards
Just as the name suggests, these NHL Cards will open up Easter Eggs in the game. And just like the Celebration Cards, they are not per use cards and are available once they are earned — the particular Easter Egg will need to be turned on in the Easter Egg menu if you wish to use it. All of these cards are only available in Diamond.
Diamond - Odds (1/850), Duration (N/A), Boost (N/A), Re-Sell Value (230 points)
#181 Mile Wide Stadium (the rink is wide)
#182 After Hours (lights are out, spotlights on players)

#184 Sumo Hockey (players in colored sumo suits)
#185 Last Man Standing (players stay down once knocked down until whistle)
#186 Shrink ‘n Grow (players get big when you score, shrink when hit)
#187 Deep Voice (deep voices)
#188 Chipmunk (squeaky voices)
#189 Topsy Turvy (reversed controls)
The Tasklist
As mentioned previously, the biggest difference between the Cards in NHL 2002 and the ones in Madden NFL 2002 have to do with the Tasklist and how it’s operated.
