Hey sleeves, phenomenal video and I’m so glad we finally have it, been watching you since nhl 21 and you are the Goat when it comes to this! 😁 look forward to the PP and PK video aswell, keep smashing it 💪
div 1 player here, a lot of these strats i’ve been using and for the lower division players keep grinding and use these strats they are elite, cheers sleeves
Thank you brother! I’ve watched a few other strategies and tips videos from other creators but I’m struggling to steadily win games online.. years prior your content has helped me a lot! Great explanations to everything, love what you do pal!
First of all you got to make sure your center's have high enough face-offs stats at least 80 or above and then I usually go backhand and like a half a second before the puck touches the ice just do a half a rotation to the bottom
@@MTB_FANATIC99that’s horrible advice. There’s literally a counter for that face option, which is forehand, and rotating the stick up, so if you do yours every single time and I do the one I just said, you will lose 100/100 faceoffs
Thanks! You are so good at these videos -- must watch every day. If you're taking votes on priorities for videos, here's a vote for faceoffs. I'm really struggling online and I haven't found a video yet that gets me to 50%
Am I the only one who has played this game back in around 2011 when you could customize and save your own camera angle? Omg it was amazing. Only lasted for 1 year and wish they would bring that back.
Wrote this down last night exactly as you have it and then went a picked up malek for goalie this morning to pair with Kempuer and it's a night/day difference.
There is definitely is a huge difference between online and offline 3v3! If you are offline and can’t get anything going I recommend coming back to the neutral zone even just a little into your zone as well while circling from one side of the ice to the other and then try burning down the wall with a fast player. Doing this will allow the chance to create a breakaway from the side or even a 2 on 1 opportunity. If it doesn’t it should give you new looks and most of the time if you can’t get a good look you will be able to go behind the net and either you will be able to get the short side snipe or the look for the top guy/defenseman to get the 1T. Hope this helps out.
Why are so many people hating on this game? It's not just the rewards, which are getting better. There is a TH-cam page where over 100 people rated the game and it was nothing but the worst negativity I've ever seen. Are they even playing the game. I see it as a huge improvement over past years.
great content, very helpful. Is there a way to lock these in so that they are default settings or each need to be entered before a game? Also can they be adjusted in menu when playing online vs? Thanks
I've always played with auto-back skate off but it seems like this year when you hold l2 to back skate sometimes it's a little glitchy and doesn't turn backwards right away but it's a must to turn off
When defending behind the net crash the net and if EA ever adds shooting umbrella 1-3-1 collapsing staggered contain puck tight point protect net and sometime normal is for these 5 on 5 offensive strategies. As for overload normal collapsing puck side attack high pressure and tight point is more for defending overload.
As a former game developer with EA sports NHL Online past assist should be around the %70 range, with 100 some times but not all the time the pass may hit the nearest person and not the one you intended it for and can create alot of odd man rushes, breakaways, turnovers ect
Hey was wondering if there’s any information about world of chel. The matchmaking is horrific atm spent an hour looking for a game just to not find one. Love the content btw
one thing to point out with "Total control". I don't believe you can offensively tie the puck up on boards holding the puck, only on defence without the puck. Unless switching to using "Skill stick"
Hey sleeves I have an issue where my game is losing connection every other game anywhere between before puck drop to 1 second last in the game and it’s really frustrating losing all progress on challenges I am using a wired connection and I’m at a loss for fixes could you shed any light on this?
The “secret” or base key to this games speed is the strategies, specifically the forecheck. If you find it odd that your players speeds have slowed down in real-time going up the ice. What is happening? The other player is rolling thru their forecheck setting. Test this and tell me i am right or crazy. Don’t comment unless you have tested this
Click square on a player u want to switch then press L1 or R1 to switch to ur offense and defense lineups then press square on the player u want as replacement :)
Can someone explain how to change the Defensive lines in 25? wondering if its the same as 24 and my controller D pad is broken or if its different? Thanks!
I just found out if u place max bid on a item in the auction house it gives u the option to buy it now ...sorry to the person who bidded on the jersey and logo
I agree. Putting your Dmen on their off-hand is fine, since D point one-timers are OP af. But not having your forwards on their opposite side is more beneficial IMO. Cross crease tap ins are deadly too.
Anybody here in favor of more "zoomed-in" cameras ? I personnally really like the defautl "classic" one, it's somehow more immersive to me and, yes, you're sometimes missing information about players way in front or way behind but I find that more often than not it's not insurmontable and forces you to approach the game more like an actual player would, if that makes any sense Anyway, I guess I'm gonna give "overhead" one more try anyways
I used to play with the "Action" camera angle which really brings you "into the action" but I found myself limited on staying a couple steps ahead on my break outs and offensive zone set up
Timeout. You can manually switch players? I have been playing every NHL game for half a decade, didn't know this. How do I control which players I switch to? I thought it was always just the closest to the puck
Two off topic questions. First why hasn’t Power icon MacInnis upgradeable to 85? Second question, is there a list of the annoying nhl arena music songs? The girl singing that annoying something now blah blah meowing song makes me cringe every time!
What about any of that was sassy? Responding? Lmao I was just pointing out you can do the exact same shit on skill stick AND you don’t get stuck in a hit animation. Kiddo.

Where do I find these setting and will they save?
Perfect settings and strategies, it feels like a new game now, much appreciated.
I’m struggling with defence this year, never had a problem in prior games
Bro tell me about! It’s clear EA keeps nerfing D year after year!
Sleeves that auto back skate was so frustrating, I didn’t know you could turn it off, thank god
First thing I turn off every year
Work was well worth it, you didn't disappoint! Great video sleeves!
Worth the wait, learned a few things. Thanks!

Just wana say great job. I know how hard you been working on this
Great job Sleeves, I need that face off tutorial, i’m losing to players with lower skill rating too often

Broke my losing streak after watching this. Scored 11 straight goals in 2 games lol. Great tips. Thanks!
Unreal video, content was so well thought out!
He finally got the video done yahoo
Hallelujah
Amazing vid - learned a few things and going to apply them to my game. Thanks Sleeves!
This is so helpful. Thanks a lot!
I haven’t played since nhl17. This video we super helpful and refreshing. Really appreciate the content.
Good tips on the lineups for PP and PK. I honestly was just throwing people on there randomly. Your way makes more sense
Great video, thanks for the advice!

Hey how do you change the team staregy in game say you want to switch to the 1-4😊
Thanks for the great video. Best strats video. Greatly appreciated.
You are the best Sleeves 👍 thank you so much
This worked right away, I’m a younger player so I sometimes struggle with the strategies but thanks!
Very good settings. Agreed almost across the board
Great stuff Sleeves! I play a lot of Squad Battles, can you go over 3v3 play. I struggle to get anything set up when I go to OT.

Because it's dog shit. It's nothing like real hockey at all
@@Flagg1135 it's dog shit.
Best NHL in history
@@cop1988 such a low bar

THANK. YOU!

so confused with what youre trying to write
As a former game developer with EA sports NHL Online past assist should be around the %70 range, with 100 some times but not all the time the pass may hit the nearest person and not the one you intended it for and can create alot of odd man rushes, breakaways, turnovers ect
On your controller 🎮 hit the up or down pad to view your forecheck, breakout,1-2-2 passive is pretty good.
thanks this video helped a lot
Hey was wondering if there’s any information about world of chel. The matchmaking is horrific atm spent an hour looking for a game just to not find one.
Love the content btw
How do you switch players in the powerplay units/penalty kill? It won't let me switch them out on that screen.
It crazy to hear you say tether being for novice, when most people I run into can’t even play with the teacher on.
one thing to point out with "Total control". I don't believe you can offensively tie the puck up on boards holding the puck, only on defence without the puck. Unless switching to using "Skill stick"
Hey sleeves I have an issue where my game is losing connection every other game anywhere between before puck drop to 1 second last in the game and it’s really frustrating losing all progress on challenges I am using a wired connection and I’m at a loss for fixes could you shed any light on this?
The “secret” or base key to this games speed is the strategies, specifically the forecheck.
If you find it odd that your players speeds have slowed down in real-time going up the ice.
What is happening?
The other player is rolling thru their forecheck setting.
Test this and tell me i am right or crazy.
Don’t comment unless you have tested this
the goat is here
Is anyone else having issues changing line ups in hut? I can't change the players on my powerplay or penalty kill?
It’s finally out let’s goooo
Thank You Sir
i struggle bad with passing is there as setting where i can see where the pass is going and will it work online?
total control
Ty sir got to 10 wins on hut champs with this
how do you put defenders on the power play. my game auto fills them with 5 forwards and doesn’t allow me to put defenders in
Click square on a player u want to switch then press L1 or R1 to switch to ur offense and defense lineups then press square on the player u want as replacement :)
Change your lines in Team Management
I would appreciate if you could show not just what you use, but what all the options are and what they mean.
Can someone explain how to change the Defensive lines in 25? wondering if its the same as 24 and my controller D pad is broken or if its different?
Thanks!
Squere on PS if you are on skill stick
Can you icon pass on Hybrid controls?
Am I the only one that plays on Classic camera? 😂
I rotate between classic, high, and zone.
I do
I play Classic
🙋♂️
Classic is fine too! Just doesnt give the same advantage. Its all personal preference anyways
Can you still manually switch to goalie with total control?
Yup 👍
Wow I had no idea about the R3 player switch, or the directional player switch:
also ping is very important if you are going to play aggressive
How can I change players in powerplay?
hit square (PS5) or X on Xbox then LI/RI to cycle between forward and D choices
My camera angle is dynamic medium is that bad
I just found out if u place max bid on a item in the auction house it gives u the option to buy it now ...sorry to the person who bidded on the jersey and logo
It actually happened!! 😂
Hell ya brother
I made the week 1 fantasy pack but didn’t open it. It now says week 2??? The fuck??
I don´t know about the wingers being on the wrong side. cross crease never goes in that way
If you are only going to cross creases what you doing!?
@@SleevelessGaming not only but they seem to get in in 2-1 attacks much more often.
I agree. Putting your Dmen on their off-hand is fine, since D point one-timers are OP af. But not having your forwards on their opposite side is more beneficial IMO. Cross crease tap ins are deadly too.
Dman on off side is great but I think wingers are better on their proper side rh/rw lh/lw
Took long enough 🎉
The video is real!

In franchise mode ..... Do I really have to edit my strategy every game????
Cant enjoy a game slow like that, puck friction at his all time worst, those devs should go asap
Fantasy hockey ranking? Are you planning on combining week one and two?
Finally
Timeout. You can manually switch players? I have been playing every NHL game for half a decade, didn't know this. How do I control which players I switch to? I thought it was always just the closest to the puck
I continued watching and you answered this. My whole life has changed.

Way to complicated , i miss playing online but im about to get a ps2 and nhl2002 play on allstar n call it a day
🧐
Robin Lehner Daily is easily the worst goalie in the game. He will break your team.
now when do we get the SB strategy video
and don’t use full attack this guys clearly is not good at the game 😂
6th
2:20 no real advantage? You can literally hit with one button 😂😂 and do dekes with one button. lol you wildin bro 😂
If you’re good at skill stick it’s no disadvantage
Pull down and push up on the right stick boss, its not any harder than the one button. You also dont get stuck in the hit animation
@@SleevelessGaming oh you sassy now lol 😂 not when you got someone charging at you holding down one button. Yeah I play skill. I know little buddy 😂
What about any of that was sassy? Responding? Lmao I was just pointing out you can do the exact same shit on skill stick AND you don’t get stuck in a hit animation.
Kiddo.
@@SleevelessGaming lol learn to take a joke little boy 😂😂
