Make sure your left stick is pointing in the direction of the player you are wanting to deflect the pass. How: Pull back the right analog stick for a slapshot then press the pass button(RT or R2). You’re down by one late in the 3rd and just managed to get offensive zone control – great time to pull your goalie! Of course, pressing start would be a terrible idea in that situation so instead you can just press LB and “select” at the same time. **If you’re using “Hybrid” controls then it is LT and A(L2 and X) With that said, if they figure out that you will always dive out then they will just wait for you to do it and pop it in the empty net so make sure you mix it up!īy the way, if you are allowing so many breakaways in a game that you actually need to try multiple goalie techniques on one opponent then you have bigger defensive issues to deal with! Make sure you check out our Defense Guide, if that’s the case.
Most scorers get right in close to the AI goalie to score, this is what makes the dive out so effective. This can throw them off just enough to mess up their breakaway attempt. Become the goalie for a second to make them think you will dive out, but then swap back to a player letting the AI takeover goalie again. I highly recommend going into the Goalie Practice mode before even attempting this just so you can get familiar with the basic goalie controls.Īnother technique is the fake out. You can do the diving poke check by pushing up on the left analog and pressing the X or Square button. This is useful when you are playing a position that requires you to be away from the puck covering someone. You can press select in order to focus the camera on your player instead of the puck. Most relevant when player locked(EASHL/OTP) If you don’t have possession of it and hold down the player switch button then it will swap to the player closest to your goalie. This applies no matter where the puck is on the ice. Simply hold LT(L2) and you will switch to the last player back. Control Last Player BackĮver been trying to swap to the last defender back while your opponent is on the rush and you seemingly swap to every player EXCEPT the one you want? Yeah you’re not alone.
No idea when that was added into the game but definitely a handy functionality to know.ĭo you already know about them all? Perhaps I’m just a noob still 😀 1. Okay, maybe you might know about some of these but there is a very good chance you don’t know about them all! I actually didn’t even know about the first one until a couple weeks ago and I’ve been playing the EA Sports’ NHL series for over a decade.
