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.

Same, just completely forgot about it this year. Thanks for helping out buddy .

Did they update the AhL rosters yet?

 

[russ99]

Got the game at a lower Black Friday price, and it plays a decent game of hockey after some major slider surgery, but one thing I can’t seem to fix, it’s the passing, my controlled team is around 60% and the AI team is always over 90%, any tips?

I also need to figure out which checks are an insta-penalty this year, with the total control having a lot better way to select different types of checks.

I don’t think so, got the game yesterday and there are some glaring omissions in Bakersfield, usually that hits in December.

There was an update yesterday actually. It looks like they fixed the ahl at least.

I have yet to buy the game. I was wondering if Jonathan Toews is a free agent in any of the roster files? Thank you.

Planning to get it for Black Friday.

As I only play Franchise, what are the new features?

Thanks in advance

I actually think the game play is pretty good. The menus are terrible, though. But, all I really care about is the game play.

Ice-Q. Players do really smart stuff like skate past a great pass and lift their leg up to the let the pass go to the opposing player for a breakaway.



EA Sports. It’s in the game!

 

[CutOnDime97]

Did they tune down the edge skating or whatever at some point? Feel like I noticed it more at release.

Yeah, I will say the game has grown on me and imo it's the best NHL game in ten years or so.

My experience with these games are quite different from most peoples though, as I don't play online at all anymore. Instead I only play franchise mode, with position lock, and with my own adjusted sliders.

Gameplay is always most important and usually it's main issue with the game, and I never thought I would say this, but this year what I'm really starting to miss is game presentation. I get that people always tend to skip cut scenes anyways. Especially online. But again, as I play franchise mode, it would be nice to have the option to see some cutscenes every now and then. Without it, I feel the game has no soul.

You wouldn’t happen to be PK from Operation Sports forums would you?

Nope. Only message board I'm on is this one.
