How to Play the Best Defense in NHL 20

[@matthewkelly8864]

Some great videos, relatively new to NHL(haven't played since the 90's.) Your videos have been a great help in improving my hut team and gameplay overall, thanks!!!

[@ihanvarmasti]

Oh cool im doing everything right then. Except when i try to hit ANYBODY i will miss.

[@doneladio6296]

Tää on kyl paha. Itellä sama 😂

[@ihanvarmasti]

@@haivvn10 Started practising hip check. Improved defence 90%

[@ihanvarmasti]

@@haivvn10 google it

[@ihanvarmasti]

@@haivvn10 Lt + R3. Try it. Its beautiful

[@Chosen99]

ihanvarmasti It's something that you need to master. I hear a lot of players always miss and that's usually because your either desperate to get the puck or ur not aiming at the player well enough. Try and face him don't hit him unless you know you have a perfect angle to do so. Best of luck!

[@Jobson85]

I'm more of a passive player on D-zone and I take care of the passing lanes because that is the majority of the goals scored on the game. Honestly I wouldn't go pressure the puck carrier even if the opponent had a "wrongly" handed player free on the slot, because most of the times it doesn't need a correct handness to score, at least I've figured that being open in the slot is enough.

[@imtryggered9746]

I like using the defensive skill stick and clicking in the right stick when I have the chance to poke. I honestly don’t see anyone use it and it is very effective

[@davidnguyen_89]

When i try to defend, in the dZone, i always end up taking a penalty especially tripping 100 percent of the time. So i try to play the body a bit more to separate the player from the puck, can you give me some pointers

[@ZzJ17]

Get in position, ur getting beat too much likely on D in ur neutral or ur blue line.. Stop poke checking in bad spots and its not ur main nor best Defense. Don't poke if someone is protecting the puck or is equal to u or past u. Start learning to use Y to hold , stick lifts with A, skill stick, and definitely holding l2 more than u are so he can't cut to the net All u do vs pokers is defend the puck and skate....ur poke check, if successful once he's by you is going deeper into ur zone. Then you need Y, the skill stick and L2

[@Perellzy]

Lowkey thought you were just going to say “skillzone” when i saw the title lol. Regs is cracked

[@SleevelessGaming]

LOL

[@mikemarchessault860]

Thanks for these tips. I play 3's a lot and my club excels at giving up one t's. We try our best to stay in the passing lanes but more often than not when we leave the dzone it's to head back to center. We've got to get better at the skill stick

[@dandent1975]

I played Regs on a random Hut Chsmps game. I contemplated quitting within the first three seconds when I saw his gamertag but decided to play. He destroyed me 8-1 . Smothering play. It’d be cool to be a billionaire and rent an elite player for 2-3 hrs at a time to help with NHL20 training .

[@robjay7262]

You held him below 10?!?!?!

[@BToledo23]

When im defending a 2 on 1 rush, i always try and block the passing lane, but for some reason my Dman just looks at the puck and the offensive player always gets the one timer. Can you show us how to defend against this.

[@sanity3729]

Ive adapted to it, i hold R1 and get as close as possible to the open man, 9 out of 10 times it will block his shot or hit the puck

[@crillz9660]

hold A or X depending if you're on xbox or ps4, thats gonna do a tie up on the guy that your opponent is trying to do the slot pass to

[@stomachhurts2044]

I naturally do this too learned it watching Hossa and toews play in real life

[@kimmalan7914]

Awesome vid sleeves! Really like the concept of getting tips from the pros. Would be real interesting with a vid about puck possession in the offensive zone from one of the pros that masters this art. Keep up the awesome work!

[@teegee289]

Probably every average players dream is to get a walk through from a pro as to what they're doing and focusing on. How to get out of my zone better. How to forcheck. How much and when to sauce. How to recover when burnt on breakaway. What are the best dekes to use and when. How do top guys move from backhand to forehand so fast and well. Sorry... And THANK YOU

[@AvrahamDiallo]

I mean thanks for the tips. Haven’t played Chel Online that much this year since I didn’t have ps plus so I was wondering why my AI wasn’t defending well

[@tylerhrvatin8285]

Get a strategies and offence video out soon please!!

[@westcoastvibes250]

love the vids so should do videos with some of the esports guys and do collabs nba has a guy who does it with the pros and breaks down builds badges ect you could do that same style with how they play ect

[@hawkeye71980]

Good idea. Maybe just start with some guys from the Icedogs who also play CHEL?

[@22jaybray]

Forecheck strategies and slider settings in strategies menu?

[@kohlhedquist5155]

How do you get the home chants after goals? I’ve tried jerseys, logo and arena

[@stuart_skinhurts_official]

Nashville arena

[@Davidjon1946]

I've learned that holding down left to face player helps a lot

[@joeboe39]

I need help with breakouts. Do u think we could meet and play a few games online. I turn over too much and don’t know where to go from behind my net to breakout

[@ZzJ17]

I noticed the top 500 guys I would lose to, never turned the puck over in their zone and just shut down the blue line

[@joeytorkomian2362]

Plz keep doing these both offense and defense

[@Cavar21]

The backskating during rushes is annoying af.

[@alexkangas7874]

What are his other strats?

[@SebastianLjungkvist]

He uses the standard strats in HUT, just changes defense to collapsing/protect net and sets all lines to behind the net. All other stuff is just as it comes.

[@sealthedealgaming3331]

Sebastian Ljungkvist do you know where I could check this out? Like I a vid where Reg shows his strats or something?

[@Dracobackpacksack22]

Update for 21?

[@STBR247]

I swear to god I will work and cycle and earn a pretty goal, then my opponent just flicks a wrister from past the circle top cheese. It’s so frustrating

[@27mclaren]

This video let me know I'm not crazy. Ridiculous how frustrating this game can be from tuning

[@whitetrashtrucker5785]

Great stuff...so the defensive skills tick is just holding R1?

[@patrickrane7993]

correct :p

[@Bernietube]

excellent video, man...

[@khaoz2555]

Could really use a better pair of thumbs for offense accepting donations

[@gwjjr65]

thank you for sharing ….just watching help me out 100 percent ...need to see more like this video...my game is a lot better now

[@kylestokley91]

Need to know what the top players are using for the rest of their strategies not just collapsing an protect the net

[@shaynecopeland2268]

almost every player in the top 100 uses this on defense, offensively is different

[@kylestokley91]

Shayne Copeland I’m talking about the rest of the settings

[@shaynecopeland2268]

your settings that you use are your own preference, for the camera you should use zone or overhead so you can see the whole zone

[@kylestokley91]

Shayne Copeland nvm

[@shaynecopeland2268]

the other settings really dont matter, offensively alot of people use behind the net or overload.. but its all situational and its all personal preference.. there isnt an end all be all recipe to win.. you just have to understand how to generate offensively and be able to understand how to stop ppl defensively

[@horacesilver5238]

super....super useful video

[@idkmaybe5148]

I play when i’m drunk so that’s why I get pissed off so much

[@legestrom]

Having a 91 tendie doesn’t hurt either.

[@josborne809]

If u like this then you will love "how to do a backflip" by Stephen Hawking

[@SleevelessGaming]

??

[@marke9467]

keys to success in this game with online play. score first somehow (usually some kind of luck involved), then play defense the rest of the game, oh wait and without tripping someone every 5 seconds. defense means just try to get in the way of the puck carrier somehow. should have began and ended with nhl 18, think there is a reason the full game version is $20 now. love hockey but these games suck a$$, they're pretty though

[@traaaaan]

Video starts at 230

[@mellygibbs7011]

Does anyone else think 'animations' have completely ruined sports games?

[@harriporter8044]

Looks like an average finnish HUT player

[@ravensimonyay]

top players are also arrogant and stuck up

[@Chosen99]

OK I'm one of the top players in the world and I don't use protect net and collapse. I think that is the worst thing you can possibly do defensively. And I'll tell you from experience that it never works well because no one is covering anyone. All your doing is covering the net and hope it doesn't go in. Sorry that's a terrible strategy. You want a strong defense to play the strong side of the puck. In other words, puck side attack is my personal favorite. But you kinda need to practice on getting that strategy working. Never and I mean ever! Collapse defense. Play tight point or staggered.
