1. Is circle (Shoulder hit) the same as down and up with the analogue stick? 2. With regards to pulling back the stick! If you are hitting a guy on your right for instance do you go Left then Right with the stick? It’s not always Up / Down or Down/Up, right?
Feels so much more satisfying because it actually takes time good position etc you can't just run around w gold truc mindlessly destroying everyone because you can literally just hold your right stick up
@@castonguayjulie1976 It was awful anyone using gold truculance could literally just hold up on their right stick and smoke you because it was lock you on. Hitting was so easy it was broken

@@ThrashHky good to know. Thx. Hopefully soon. They should also cut down the finding teammates time in chel. 3 mins until it begins to search for opponents is way to long.
I can’t stand these controls at all. The fact they don’t give us the option to pick another setting is more frustrating. Might go back to 23’. These controls frustrate me so hard
I disagree honestly - they made a new control system to make it as easy as possible for new players to be able to do anything they wanted What they DIDNT do is have a tutorial explaining everything But if you're a new player, it's never been so easy to be able to pick it up and play any way you want
I disagree too. Finally a New game. We gotta adapt but i like thats its more about timing and speed rather then L2 and hold the puck forever and glitch goals. We got smoked but i see where we are going and it Will be fun when we master the new controls. Love it.
Hitting was never about holding your elbow out unless you plan on only playing rookies and getting penalties. Truthfully hitting always took a lot of skill when playing good players and sweats as there have always been a lot of ways to "avoid" hits by using the inane coding of the game. It got better in 22 when a lot of it was fixed but that caused hitting to become too easy so everyone complained and it got nerfed again in 23. 24 takes it to a whole new level of stupid by removing hybrid controls but thankfully enough people got on EA and now its coming back this month.
Man, so good to know. I jumped back into NHL after not playing a game for a LONG time and just felt like the hitting was weak. Didn't know you had to pull back before pushing up. Excited to try it out tonight.
The best way to throw hip checks on skill stick is to press R3 FIRST and then L1. It will work every single time and you will never accidentally take a knee
Thank you much. Honestly, I'm having way too much fun with this now that I understand it. It's nice to have a range of physicality, a greater risk/reward aspect, and the highlight reels don't suck either. Big improvement, IMO.
Makes sense when hitting someone going up, but do you have to pull up then down if you’re hitting someone going down, or is it always down then up? Or side to side?
I'm really hating the controls. I didn't know I had to treat it like a slap shot. Also the defend the puck has f...Ed me up so bad. I'm so used to holding x which has now been replaced as a counter hit. Then dumping the puck is very weak now.
Thanks for the info. I hust bought NHL 24 and was really disappointed with the hitting mechanics so far. Can't wait to try out your tip. Thanks again for the video.
So when this video was made, hybrid wasnt included in the game - hitting should be either Circle or B - or you can use the sticks like I show in this video
@@bryansimoes1486 I just hopped into practice to test it out to try and help - but I didn't have any issues hitting using either Issue just might be that you have to time it, pull back and right as you're about to make contact push forward - or hold down circle and let go right before you make contact
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Can’t help but feel like ea is stupid for changing a system like that and not putting some kind of tutorial in to explain it. I miss playing the little hockey Canada tutorials
Bro iam glad I found your chnl I was having such a hard time with this was making me not like that part of the game lol but you go into detail so thank you man it’s was very helpful
Thanks so much bro, I’ve been playing for like an hour and was wondering why my guys just keep bouncing off players trying to hit while the other team keeps laying me out lol
anyone else having trouble changing forward lines with total control scheme, the right cursor is unresponsive many times for me, however left cursor for changing d-men is working properly.
Thrasher have you noticed your guys being gassed quicker? I feel like my guys are always gassed quicker than my opponents even when I am playing passive
As a disabled gamer, I relied heavily on the simplified hybrid controls in order to play effectively. I am very disappointed that this was not an option at launch, as I am unable to play as a result.
Yeah totally understandable It'll be back late March - I think it was removed because of all the changes to gameplay, and hybrid wouldn't be able to use majority of them - so now they have to figure that out
This is obviously very late though I got the game late: Do you always pull the stick straight back and straight up? How do you choose direction? Left stick? Otherwise I assume the direction you pull back and forward is relative to the player direction, e.g. if you hit downward in the camera direction you pull up and the down instead. (I have played enough that I should know this but my hits are mainly in the forward direction more or less.)
Seems awesome, I have always wanted this kind of tackling into the game! Every new thing is a plus to the franchise when you have literally learned everything, even the bugs and how the game works, I might have to unretire and buy NHL after 3 year hiatus
Good video. OK, question: I get you load back then explode through the hit as your backing up but what about big hits on guys trying to come around the net? If I load the hit backwards how does that work a the hit direction is already backwards?
When you hit, do you just push down and then up or do you push in the direction of the player you are trying to hit like pushing down and then to to the left to hit a player who is to your left?
I used to be a goalie, but nhl 24 made me quit playing NHL for at least this year. Fighting the control system instead of concentrating on the play in front of me got me to rage quit and im not usually a quitter! Its alright I got more time to go skate now but still very disappointed to lose my friends and league games just because its now a game for 9years old trying to michigan everywhere. I love to hate you EA with such a passion because you never disappoint me on giving me reasons to do so! 😍🥰
So after 2 weeks I hope you see this but why is it that every 2nd time I throw a hit I get a charge but my opponent can come from there side of the ice and never take a charge is there something to I'm doing wrong or is the damn game broken cause it's getting out of control
Kudos to EA for keepin up their reputation of running franchises into the ground, they removed ("changed") one of the few fun things left in the NHL franchise
Anyone know if you can cancel a hit like if im holding O "I'm on ps5" am I able to cancel a hit the way you can cancel a pass? Or do I have to throw a hit on the air to cancel?
I know I’ve done something right cause in my first pre season game in be a pro I injured a guy and was relentlessly booed my the crowd the rest of the night 😂
Thanks for this! I didn’t XFactor edition pre order bc I couldn’t justify the extra $. Really pumped to play tomorrow. Already feel behind in HUT 😂 but we’ll have a blast no matter what.
This game has ruined defensive players compared the hitting is absolutely 10 times worse than it was. And you don't have the auto follow button for covering players with the puck for 7 Seconds automatically on defense
Hello my dear friend. I am your subscriber from Russia. Unfortunately, I do not understand English well, and because of this I have difficulty mastering the material that you present.

after playing for the year I can honestly say I prefer this way of hitting - I could never go back to the old way Took a while to get used to, but it's way more satifying to lay people out now
Now show how to do rebounds without hitting instead.... having both on the same button is insane (constant interference penalties). And no vision control makes no difference.
You remind of a real life Eric Cartman😘 Nice explanation, thank you. When EA switches things up, it pisses me off, I want to kick them squa in tha nutz!
THANKS FOR WATCHING, GUYS!
Any questions??
Your controller is connected with the usb c cable option or the bluetooth?. Which one response faster and has less imput delay?
USB C is typically the better option for less input delay, just like how a wired connection serves better connection than an unwired one
@@BondaleKringleIIXX on ps5, people are saying that it has no difference. Is it true?
With the new hitting feature? Does it take away from the attribute of truculence? Like, in other words, is there no Difference in effect of hitting?

2. With regards to pulling back the stick! If you are hitting a guy on your right for instance do you go Left then Right with the stick? It’s not always Up / Down or Down/Up, right?

You also get a speed boost when you pull back on the right stick
Also hella charging penalties 😅😂

Always up and down
@@ThrashHky so regardless of the direction you’re skating and hitting someone, it’s down then up, like a slap shot
yes, you use the left stick to position yourself@@sakic8819
how do you protect the puck now since the "x" button is reverse hitting?
Hold L3 and move your right stick which way you wanna protect
for skill stick? @@deckednhl8051
I'm really hating the controls. I didn't know I had to treat it like a slap shot. Also the defend the puck has f...Ed me up so bad. I'm so used to holding x which has now been replaced as a counter hit. Then dumping the puck is very weak now.

Would you recommend the new controls or skill stick
K so what about Hybrid?
I used to deck mans before in 3threes eliminator. NHL 24 Im just skating by them? Anyone have an answer, would appreciate it.

(Hybrid) PS5 controllers.
The controls (according to the patch notes) should be the same as last year
Are you using the stick or buttons?

Seems like you can't check with Hybrid?

Thanks so much bro, I’ve been playing for like an hour and was wondering why my guys just keep bouncing off players trying to hit while the other team keeps laying me out lol
I feel like I am not rewarded at all after landing a hit. They just pop right back up. I only get a winded get up like 3% of the time.
the hitting is terrible this year, especially when someone is trying to learn a new control scheme.
New control scheme is a single button (circle)
Hadn't played nhl since 22. Bought 25 yesterday and my god was it frustrating to play when nothing works as before, especially hitting😅
anyone else having trouble changing forward lines with total control scheme, the right cursor is unresponsive many times for me, however left cursor for changing d-men is working properly.
Same here I was going crazy Left one r one change the lines last year this year I couldn't figure out
Thrasher have you noticed your guys being gassed quicker? I feel like my guys are always gassed quicker than my opponents even when I am playing passive
We need NHL 2K back. EA fixed hitting that didn’t need fixed.
They should do this to stick checks lol it’s a joke.
The last NHL game I had before this was NHL20 and I was very confused about the hitting. The game is a lot more enjoyable now tbh

@@ThrashHky that's gonna take some practice. Thanks
I wish they still had hybrid I don’t like shooting with the stick I like the buttons but body checking is weird on it it’s annoying
When you hit, do you just push down and then up or do you push in the direction of the player you are trying to hit like pushing down and then to to the left to hit a player who is to your left?
Down and up always
Left stick to control positioning
Thank you it was driving me nuts not being able to hit properly lol
The reviews in the store says it all about this game. I won't even waste my time trying to sum it up
Does this work with hybrid controls? Ive been stuck having to use the B button when i wanna hit cuz using the stick never seems to hit at all
It does
Anyway of putting protect the puck, back to just clicking x
Thank you. Helped tremendously!!!
👊
Great video,i dont think i will be doing much hip checking as its super rare IRL game.
Do these work with Hybrid control layouts as well?

How do you do the hit where you turn around
So after 2 weeks I hope you see this but why is it that every 2nd time I throw a hit I get a charge but my opponent can come from there side of the ice and never take a charge is there something to I'm doing wrong or is the damn game broken cause it's getting out of control
Glide into your hit, don't skate into it
Kudos to EA for keepin up their reputation of running franchises into the ground, they removed ("changed") one of the few fun things left in the NHL franchise
Does the game have a hit training lessons? Sometimes in practice they might have different skills training
so this must be a different control setting than im using. ill check it when i get home thank you. i thought i had to hit square to check (ps5)
trying to watch this at lunch time in my car so it was harder to see but i see where you went to controls
Yeah this is for BOTH skill stick and total controls@@magmaghost3410
In be a pro, when I want to hit someone, I go on a bench. I don’t know what to do. Can the settings be changed?
Honestly you might have to use a different control setting
I haven't tried BAP this year
This helped but I’m still hoping they bring hybrid back😂😂
A couple weeks they said
Anyone know if you can cancel a hit like if im holding O "I'm on ps5" am I able to cancel a hit the way you can cancel a pass? Or do I have to throw a hit on the air to cancel?
Yeah I think once you press the button, you have to throw it
If you were using the right stick you can cancel by just not flicking up
@Thrash94Gaming ahh thank ya. I guess I will try to throw more hits with the stick instead lmao.
Played nhl 18 for years bought it 24 doesn’t feel as good as I though
So, should you play with skill stick or with the total control?

What camera angle is that?
Zone
I really like the balance so far team play and position is key finally high IQ players are rewarded
I'm enjoying it so far
The fact ppl have to look up how to hit is craziness
The cheese balls are the only ones hitting well
I just poke check. Don’t care for new hitting style so I just don’t do it o well maybe nhl25 or 26 will be better
