Dude every time I get frustrated because I'm getting totally smoked by opponents all of a sudden I come back and watch one of your vids..9 times out of 10 I win the first game I play after watching a new vid from you..as I did today. There will be no smashing of controllers today because of your tips and strats. Thank you.
This game is not worth smashing controllers, don’t get mad at a game that’s not perfect my dude, this is by far one of the most frustrating nhl games I have ever played.. too many glitches, phantom penalty’s, own goals do to not being able to pick up the puck. I’ve been playing since the sega days…. You will lose games that you deserve to win! Good lucky and have fun
@@clownconyo8126 it’s been maddening lmao, the amount of Times the puck has sat on my goal line and my goalies blocked by the invis wall is ridiculous, only for 3 min game time to go by and your goalie finally touches it knocking it into your net 😂😩😩😩 nhl 23 will be a new year lmao
I’ve been playing NHL for 2 years and noticed how I only win 50% of my online versus games. I’ve been playing defence wrong this whole fucking time. You’re legendary. Thanks for providing such useful tools to play solid defence. I just won 15 straight online games.
Thank you very much Dude.. just started playing rivals and tried my best but always wondered how unbelievably much space the opponents winger had on the other side to just knock it in. I'm sure this video will help me a lot!
The biggest problem is finding someone to play defense against, this game is basically dead a week in. People can't find Champs games, rivals is over a 5min wait sometimes, EASHL is a complete nightmare to find anything drop-in.
Maybe adjust your ping settings? I have mine at 40 ms and I find games hella fast in alberta Canada. Hut Champs could be because everyone already played there games...
Love the videos dude, best NHL content by far... I'm wondering though, did they mess with the tuners sometime after the first week? Gameplay felt so much different (better) to me when the game first launched, but now it's feeling exactly like NHL 21 again with the magnetic puck and dudes just dancing around all game looking for the shortside wrister. Maybe it's just me, but things definitely feel different.
Just wanna say a personal thank you man. I trust your input and have adjusted my sliders and game play style based on some of what you say. This ones helped alot. I am captain destructor in world of chel but that style fucks me in hut. Won 3 in a row playing this way yiu suggested.
I just need to remind myself every game less is more especially on defense. I tend to get impatient and over pressure the puck carrier more often than not leading to easy goals
Skill and speed is the name of the game in hockey lots of pokechecking. Hitting is non-existent. Speed is everything because they want to get back on defense.
Yo dog!! Absolutely love all of your content and have learned from you, but do you think you could incorporate in the future arrows further explaining how things work whilst you're explaining plays? Much love from the states!
I’ve even tried using it to the slot passes but some games it works great some it don’t DO YOU USE THE FLIP METHOD TRYING YO ONE TEE IT IN ? Or just use manual sauce ???
Call it the fußball method, imagine all of your players are linked with a pole and you only have to prioritize who on that pole is closest to being directly infront of the puck (north to south)
EA is getting obnoxious with their daily objectives! Take today’s for example.. you have to go into four different areas of the game just to get one flipping seasons card! Kind of a jerk move if you are also trying to get some Hut champs/rivals or SB games in on top of all of that!
Yes they are really annoying with this daily challenges. Like buy item from market. Why???? I dont want to buy, why EA is forcing. OR play boring hut rush game or the worst one is play totally useless challenge for 200 coins.
@@uroskuzmanovic3317 and those freaking games where you need to score only 1 goal? But spend twice as much time in the menus getting ready? Stupid! I also don’t understand why they did not allow us to receive our leftover coins we earned from NHL 21.. it doesn’t cost EA a cent!
@@mattyork7625 it also seems that their goal is to force us to access three to four areas of the game and spend at least two hours a day playing their game for little reward!
Counter for vision control opponent: body check don't overthink it. Visual control is made to protect puck leading to tripping penalty, off to the box you go.
Looking forward to the goalie video because it really feels like once again goalie ratings mean nothing in this game. Base Hellebuyck has 86 rebound control (and not to mention, great size)...and people just toss it off his pads for cheap garbage on the backdoor. Meanwhile, there's 81ovr goalies that vacuum up everything. EA gonna EA, I guess.
Since I watched this video I have advanced in next division. Sleeves you;re the real professor for NHL games. Thank you man.... Looking forward for offense video....Cheers...
this doesn’t work for me, my players are always either way up in the offensive zone or for some reason they come down way to low into the defensive zone, leaving 1 guy protecting the blue line, causing him to be out of position
Can you tell EA developers to change backround color. Its really hurt my eyes. Specially if you play franchise mode. Its incredible how it is annoying with combination of light green which you cant even see....
I think so assuming you have a decent team already and can be patient with buying the players off the auction house at good/fair prices. Don't bother with the prices of the set players that are price locked unless you can snipe them for a reasonable price.
NO MATTER how hard I defend, I get beat by those broken cross crease one-timers because my defender, that's suppose to be defending the far post, is never there and I'm in the middle protecting the net. They always find a way to sneak it across and it's BS.
I try not to chase with my D in my own zone. I use the centre or winger. This means, if the defensemens D awareness is high enough, they should be in a position to stop those cross crease passes. You also have to look at their abilities, some have better def abilities than others. Always try to use defencemen who are defensive over guys who are offensive defencemen. Also set the strategy to protect the net/collapsing. That should keep the D in better spots. But the real key is not to run around in your zone with the D men at all. Unlike what the video poster says, its not a good idea. So let the A.I control you D when you don't have control in your zone. So if the puck is in your corner, let the ai def chase it and park your center or winger in front of you net to intercept the pass. The poke check will also deflect passes and shots so spam that too when the pass is going cross crease. I've saved tons of goals by doing that and timing the lay down/block pass.. I've watched my brother play this game, he's not bad at it but he always takes control of his D men and he ends up giving up a ton of cross crease goals like that because he is way out of position. Since I've told him what I tried telling you here, he isn't losing by 5 goals online anymore. The games are much closer. My personal problem with this game is I can't seem to protect the puck and have a hard time getting time on attack. It seems most guys I play have perfect poke checking and I can't seem to knock them off the puck or pick up lose pucks. I don't know what Im doing wrong. Even breaking out of my zone, I tend to lose the puck constantly at their blue line. I just can't seem to out skate them or get by their D very easy, yet I see guys doing some weird toe drag moves and burning my D all the time. But for some reason I can't do it back to them. It almost like if they come near my pick carrier, they pick the puck off with ease or bump him off it easy. Yet when I do it, I can't even knock the puck off them after hitting them or if I do, they somehow pick up the puck right away and keep going with it. It drives me crazy.. I absolutely hate the poke check spam in human games.. It way too overpowered
Don't like that strategy in my opinion. I rather do full forecheck (2 guys getting after puck carrier in offensive zone) the puck is your best friend must find way to score goals. Not having puck can lead to opponents wasting time for top and increased penalties because you are going to be impatient.
Yea man. I had the same problem. Sleeves method here works infinitely better. I always defended with the defensive skill stick and closed the gap but simply just poking works a million times better.
If you want buttons and stick skills use hybrid, skill stick is used if you want realism. Nhl 94 should be used if you like simple controls. But practice makes perfect, use skill stick for all dekes. Hit the practice gym in nhl 21 on the ice and go to training, you will receive results, it's the same concept controls as nhl 22, guaranteed. Better idea if you have ea play nhl 21 is at the vault download that it's free no money needed. Controls are the same for nhl 22 as last year.
It's very hard to be f2p, but rarely have success with few players here. If you prefer to have a hard hitting lineup, then f2p is for you because high priced players are skill and speed, especially Connor mcjesus (oh my mcjesus!)

The main thing that good players are looking for is behind the net wraparround goal. And if you chase they will go for one timer.
Just incorporated this and already went up a division. Thanks for the vids!

Hey Sleeveless , how about a video on Face Offs ? It would be nice to know how to stop the set plays and how to do them !!!
People want to skate up the ice a lot (one strategy, change it up) go for the hit or poke check executed correctly.
