Ever since their coach’s update, if you have a computer generated coach he will switch coaching styles at the beginning of every season in franchise to whatever your original real life coach was. Ffs EA, wtaf

If you push multiple buttons simultaneously, you get different animations. Pushing in your right thumbstick and pressing your left bumper will allow your player to move laterally via the hipcheck animation. Any of the offensive skill moves like the lacrosse require you to use one of these button combos.

Unless, of course, you're using Total Control. If that's the case, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage against most WOC competition because you don't have enough control of your player vs skill stick.

IMO if you really want to get a handle of how you control your player, you should be running hours in free skate with the pass aim visuals turned on. Mess around with the different animations. Try scoring lacrosse goals, through the legs passes, manual saucers and flip dumps. Mess around with different builds and find the ones that you like the feel of.

Great advice, but not in anyway related to what I was complaining about.

Found the problem and fixed it. I had forgotten to turn off skating backwards automatically. Holding down LT to skate backwards while already doing so slowed me down considerably. Atleast it feels that way, haven't tested and timed it. And made my pivots slow as hell. Now i can pick up speed skating forwards and then pivot to face the opponent.

That's something I do every year prior to running a single game along with turning off all commentators and game music. Didn't even consider it.
