3 Tips to GET GOOD at NHL 23!!

[@Gamesoldier68]

Thanks for the video! If possible, illustrate the controller on screen to show us how to do these different moves. Saucer pass for instance, if we don't know how to do this, I know we can look it up, but that is the reason for watching these videos in the first place. Either use a controller on screen to show the different passes and shots or explain what buttons are used for different moves. Thanks again!

[@ratmoneyg]

Completely brand new to any NHL game and this was amazing advice. I don’t know hockey very well in general, but I bought the game to learn, have fun, and try something new. I had to look up a lot of the terminology (“cross-crease”, “saucer pass” etc.) but I feel a lot more confident going forward even as someone so new to the sport. Thanks man I appreciate it

[@mchekk]

Probably the best compliment I could get for a tips video! So happy to help!

[@tomtenak4967]

Glad you’re having fun! Just so you know it’s called a “saucer” pass, not sausage

[@ratmoneyg]

@@tomtenak4967 haha thanks, I corrected it. I’ve been watching the NHL playoff lately and have been playing the game a lot as well. I’m getting pretty into hockey, it’s truly a great sport!!

[@MYNAMEISNUMBER2]

I'm loving how I have 99 speed players And a 85 ovr opponent is catching up and or passing me by?

[@mchekk]

What?! Are you actually finding that?!

[@MYNAMEISNUMBER2]

Yes All the time, really Grinds my gears

[@ronnastasi8503]

Ice tilt is real!

[@Christopher.Charles]

Manage your energy.

[@ronnastasi8503]

From opening faceoff

[@slayermcrx7519]

i like how you noted cross crease goals are very annoying yet effective. i play a lot of be a pro because i cant play online (thanks ps plus) but i really utilize cross crease passes to set up goals. probably explains how i have 30 assists by early december of the season. but yeah cross crease passes and goals are very efficient in maintaining and growing a lead especially if you can beat the defense on the rush.

[@mittinedkitten]

I just started playing this year...and I have to admit last night I broke down and kept asking why "I sucked so badly". I thought I was the only one. Its nice to hear it verbalized by someone who is actually good. Time to go back and practice

[@mchekk]

Keep going. Honestly. These games are a blast!There is a lot you need to learn, but just start on very easy difficulty, and create a bit of a consistent system that puts the puck in! Stick with it, and alter it slightly as AI adjusts. Hit me up whenever you need help!

[@mittinedkitten]

@@mchekk Thank you so much I really appreciate it and I will ask for sure. Part of the problem is I grinded in hut so much, I have a decent team now. Then I try online and having no skill against other amazing players. It's an absolute homicide. But I enjoy it. The fact I can mix past favorites an new ones just gives me so much joy.

[@Gush27]

This franchise is a very brutal grind. It takes a lot of playing to get a real sense of the mechanics. Keep going and have fun

[@matthewminogue3276]

Don't worry bud, i'm god awful aswell. I can smash superstar AI but when it comes to Rivals I struggle in low division 4 and can barely keep the puck with a stack team.

[@mittinedkitten]

@@matthewminogue3276 Thanks, I appreciate it. I seem to always loose it in the 3rd. It doesn't matter how many goals I score. I'll be up 5-0 and still loose 6-5 lol.

[@TheTemp3zt]

I been playing these nhl games since nhl 15, and for some reason, out of all of those games i played, nhl 23 seems by far the most difficult for no reason. I hope this helps me 😂

[@thequestlivetolearntolive.8555]

I started in 2016 and i buy odd number 17 was awesome missed 19 but 21 was awesome and now 23 to many penalties

[@Martz285]

What buttons are you hitting to do the speed move

[@mchekk]

A tap of the saucer pass button!

[@yallbecrazy2352]

I have been grinding for years at the NHL's to beat my cousin at Christmas, we play every year with my family, and I can't even scratch the basement let alone the surface against him. 😭

[@mchekk]

Hahaha! Those games are always the most intense.

[@InteristaS5]

Im a complete noob when it comes to hockey so I started playing NHL 23 and literally had to start by searching “hockey 101” on KZbin 😂😂 now I understand the game but struggle with the terminology. I will try to learn all of this cause i find NHL 23 to be a really fun game. I need to play against real people instead of AI like I have been. The last time I tried to play online I lost like 10-0 lol but now I think I’m ready to try again

[@jalexander5133]

I just started playing today. Thank you 🙏 I’ll take all the tips I can

[@D00NBU66Y]

3 tips 1. 99 speed 2. Skate past goalie as he drops to butterfly for no reason 3. Tuck in goal

[@mchekk]

Great tips!

[@rafaeltorres5548]

First time player I have over 200 hours around 400 score in competitive. I suck! Never played the game but I love it. About to watch my first season ever this October. How can I get better?

[@robchristie4674]

That’s fantastic. Thank you

[@mchekk]

I’m happy it helped! Thank you

[@robchristie4674]

@@mchekk It’s a great video, music, everything. I love the part “If your not good at it, work on it” I’m all for work. Do you give private training? I’m stuck at 10 wins on Champs”, I love the game and should be better than average.

[@Inguskimelis]

Hey! Maybe you can share your opinion on the matter, about AI in NHL23. I totally agree about defensive play being key factor in NHL 23, but in order to play good defence you have to understand the game itself too, like locking off the neutral zone, cutting opponent off at entering your zone etc. What I don`t get is, why in NHL23 AI is making so silly decisions, for example in your video (starting 7:20) you don`t control the player nr.37 for a whle now, and look, !!he starts to skate backwards in defensive zone!!, while his player is full-on charging in the middle to open up in great position. This AI decision could have cost you a game, in this case. It happens so often in NHL23 it`s allmost unbearable.. Maybe you have some advice, how to get rid of these situations or to improve timing for switching players is the only option? Thanks

[@mchekk]

Very good point.. I’m going to look into ai more for sure! It’s a massive issue in this game and can be fixed in future games for sure!

[@jotero2251]

Mike please help. I only play offline. The computer AI is difficult to score against. Does this help vs AI? From what you said about Franchise mode seems to be case

[@mchekk]

what difficulty are you playing on?

[@whiteboyfloyd2073]

Great video,the speed move or glitchy stuff I feel like we all get frustrated with,myself included,is intentionally put in the game by EA bc they know they probably can't make hockey the fastest sport it's justice by trying to make it more real,so we gotta take what they give us and use it against that snobby little kid talking shit crushing your fucking Friday night, Chel is toxic but I love it

[@mchekk]

Wow. What a comment! Lol It’s true. It needs to be a relatively even playing field up and down the ice.. the only time you can TRULY see an unfair advantage is if someone of god awful at manually switching lines, and you can catch them with one of their slowly tired lines, and your using Makar, Mcdavid, or Larkin.. lol I primarily use the bruins and the canes, so next level speed doesn’t exist for me other than self passing with Taylor Hall, or a few hurricane players that are also quite naturally fast. Hut is a different beast of its own though. Unfair all across the board often times.

[@commesdesgarcon8862]

How to do speed move?

[@mchekk]

Lightly tap saucer pass button while skating forward, and keep sprinting into the puck after pressing.

[@mjhout]

What is the name of this track? It is really nice

[@mchekk]

I’m not even sure, all my tracks are used with a website called epidemic sound!

[@indubitably01]

Did they update the game? Cross crease shots seem to be insanely nerfed since '22, I try to never take them. I've had way more luck with slap shots from the point.

[@trevkeenz5655]

I appreciate this man have a good Christmas

[@mchekk]

Thanks so much! I’m glad it helped!!

Video coming soon covering this! I’ll be able to explain it and cover any variables that can alter the move.

Any time!!

[@ryley7787]

I'm on semi-pro in hut & can hold my own now so that's progres lol, tried superstar and got my cheeks clapped like 15-2 🙃🤣

[@mchekk]

It’s a grind hey.. I’ll be straight up. I actually don’t play hut anymore for many reasons, but the theory of making your own team is such a blast! Maybe one day I’ll play it again. I always try it in the start, but find myself losing interest.

[@alexibissonnette4392]

Why i Don't have the retro jersey in nhl23

[@mchekk]

That’s odd! Only thing I can think of would be your game not being updated. Doubt that it’s not though..

[@SuperJasondennis]

K...... any tips on how to beat the AI ON ALL STAR??

[@mchekk]

Absolutely! I can make a quick video on that in the future for sure!

[@SuperJasondennis]

[@videogamesandsidepursuitof4880]

NHL 23 needs cool loving soundtrack or NYSE Winnipeg

[@yurinoworry]

I agree, I like some of the music in NHL 23 but most of it doesn’t sound like it belongs in a sports game. But then again soundtracks today are nothing compared to the quality of the 2000-2010 videogame soundtrack era.

[@dellers72]

I'm finding teams with lower ratings are all over me. When I attack they take the puck off me so easy when I try and poke them it's like I might as not bother as it don't work for me, they pass and shoot like my stick is invisible .

[@mchekk]

Is this while playing the CPU? And what difficulty are you on?

[@Mcjesus97]

No he’s right, in HUT Lower teams always play and beat my TOTY cards but when I face teams that are 98 overall like me I beat them. I literally only lost to 83-85 cards. I think EA does a secret boost to worse teams based on ratings difference.

[@dellers72]

@@mchekk This is online.

[@mchekk]

@@Mcjesus97 hmm.. that’s odd. I’m not sure that’s true, but I have only gotten stomped by better teams in hut lol

[@mchekk]

@@Mcjesus97 if players are very good at saucer passing. You’ll not often be able to intercept the pass. Another thing to note.

[@danhrc]

Im going to delete this game, its so hard. I haven't played since to 90s and those were super fun. I bought this one and i guess video games have just passed me up because this shit is bonkers hard and i can't even score in practice mode let alone a actual game. Like holy shit! This is no fun at all.

[@FejjNagaf]

Hey - turn the music down by half. It's covering up what you are saying.

@@mchekk just trying to help. I watched on my TV with a sound bar and at times, the music kind of drowns out your voice. Good luck! :-)

[@mchekk]

@@FejjNagaf thanks again! I’ll work on that!

[@13uffalonian]

What drives me nuts is accidentally skating myself out of the play cause it switches to the wrong player; or 3 on 1 and I’m trying to pass it to middle guy but the game decides it’s gonna pass it to the far away player on the opposite wing instead so it goes right to the opposing Dman 🤬🤬

[@SalMuh04]

Tight point isn’t a good defend strat leaves the cross crease easy to get by

Why would you want to get better at a shit game? EA rips everyone off every year for shit that can be DLC. In 22 I was top 10 LW in chel, and I hate this game.

You have every right to share your opinion. I still enjoy the game!
