This was very solid! The stick lift and tie-up I didn’t know. I miss when EA included a training/tutorial which covered moves, and made you complete them to get the 3 checks. 2019 was the last I’ve seen this. Like the slow mo demos you did and. When to use and not to use.

yeah, NHL really needs a detailed tutorial feature on their games. Even me who is used to playing NHL (very casually) wanted to play some tutorials

Every time I try to make a move defensively it's a penalty or does nothing. But when I have the puck I get flicked in the face or murdered he loses the puck. I'm a new player and don't know how to play and playing career with a useless player. Just a recipe for frustration and anger.

You can get away with so much interference and simultaneously you can’t get away with anything this year it’s crazy. Like I’ve had guys full truculence body check my guys without the puck and nothing but I’m trying to smack a rebound and flicking up causing my guy to smack a player instead of the puck and that’s gonna get a penalty.

Your way of explaining defense is 1 of the best here on u tube

Would say you can also tie up stick in front of the net by holding A (X) but they have to basically not be moving. I've not had much luck with tie up net battles either. Even getting poked from behind when skating it out. And although LB shot block not the best, that was actually how I got my early levels, find it pretty easy to LB bloc, it's been fairly reliable, which is why to goalies, unless there's no defender in front I'd stay standing for the high shot.

The flip clearance hasn’t changed. It’s always been RB/R1 flip up on skill stick. People have been just wristing it in the past. Which hats off to EA cause there’s a difference IRL too.

How i do hip checking on hybrid?

Hi there , I'm Moroccan and I'm a huge NHL fan, i decide to play total controll thanks to u bud !

I need to get my timing down I am like an expert in penalty killing at the moment sometimes in 3 on 5 situations 😂

They are shifting back Toronto sweet 😊

I’ve played 38 games as an offensive defenseman. I have 10 goals and 47 assists. I join the rush sometimes and I always back check. I rarely body check, or stick check. It seems some people when playing 6v6 feel strongly about a dman joining the rush and joining the rush in the neutral zone and then stopping at the blue line on the point. Why is this?

what rooster do you use ?

Great video do u use hybrid Controls or skill stick? I don't know how to use skill stick can u be a good defender with hybrid controls? Thanks for your the info

I personally use skill stick. Honestly, there is not a lot of variation between the two controller settings, just a couple buttons swapped here and there. My best advice for becoming a good defender in NHL (especially 24) is to be patient. Don't over commit to plays, keep your defensive structure with your team and you'll keep getting better!

Great news for the hip checks! Haven't played this game yet but I always considered to be in the minority for using it. It was very effective in 22 and 23 as a D man. I'm assuming it's back to normal. Boards is where you want to use it at most time's. It's fool proof. 1/2 when I want to keep a puck up top near near my half wall, I elected to send them flying mid air to crash into the board's. In the DZ if they're setup and their D man comes down your lane, hip checks in the corner. If someone is going around your net, hip checks them. There's so many places to use it lol.

Best video on D thank you bud

Why can’t I intercept a puck even if I’m literally in the way of it

@yellowsnow19852003

4 ай бұрын

You don't want to have your player in the way of it. You want your stick in the lane, with a minimal need to reach. LT also increases the chance that you will intercept greatly. If you are playing chel with a d guy you will want to have at least high 80s defensive awareness, the squid perk is very helpful also. I also find that taller players are much better at intercepting the puck, my guy is 6'3. I will say that 6'1 is the "meta" but I find the taller 6'3 is more effective for me.

Also you hit a dude hard enough and their teammate will throw gloves with you instantly lol

My defenders just stand and watch. It’s a 2 man rush every time.

Totally agree BAP is trash. XP platform is worthless, so much would love for Dumbass EA would go back to XP platform from 14. Manually put your points where you want.

You’re basically reciting the menu and using common sense. A tip would be to talk about holding B vs tapping B to check. Up in the right stick to shove in front of the net. Tie up is essential for defending in front of the net. Long breakout passes aren’t advisable unless using a perk or using high passing and other stats. We have talked about back skating vs forward skating in the D zone, what handedness you should be for side, position and player you should be watching. Come on bud. Zero tips here. Did I mention gap control? Anyways good presentation but maybe get a little more in depth.
