NHL 19 Online Strategies from a TOP PLAYER!

[@Brianstormed]

The Settings I use together with Strategies: Controller Settings -- Skill Stick Camera -- Zone Auto Backskate -- Off Online Pass Assist Percentage -- 90% The other ones don't matter as much, but I like to have everything large like my Burger King fries. I mean, I have the puck size, highlight, and indicators on large so that it helps me see where the puck is and who has the puck easier.

[@usmanbarak2615]

Didn't you use to use Classic for the camera view?

[@Brianstormed]

Yes I used classic camera when I played on my TV, I have since switched to a monitor where I play a lot closer so I can use a camera setting thats further away and stay focused on the game.

[@Brianstormed]

Hmm that sounds rough. Right now lots of people that are really good from previous years are playing and going through the divisions, so you may have been matched up against them. Hopefully that clears up over the coming weeks. You are always welcome to check out my videos from NHL 18 which may help your gameplay.

[@snc237]

Brianstormed I haven’t dabbled I’m changing the pass assist. You notice a difference at 90?

[@LaneLaine4892]

Where do you change the pass assist?

[@Skurbbz]

Can we make a petition to have the ability to make custom plays again? I used to have my players do these awesome routes and stuff and it made the game so much fun end.

[@RichArleo]

I was 11-10 in online vs and struggling to adjust to the new style in nhl 19.. I watched this vid and now I’m 20-11 in online vs. it’s a completely diff game and the AI players are always where I want them. Thanks a bunch man

[@jimmog52]

Thank you alot, it clarifies alot. I was playing in overload with all my lines but the passing lanes are never there.

[@johnmckenzie9885]

Just started playing NHL again picked up 19 yesterday for 40 bucks Feels Like Home can't wait to build my Ultimate Team got to love that beginning grind

[@pewpface9767]

Or you can be a low life coward and buy $200 worth of packs and buy your team like every other scrub. The build way is much more satisfying

[@Jobson85]

Man! Your such a good amplifier so thanks for that! Will use your strategies except that control breakout I'd put the one where defender waits center to pick up the puck. That's because I have noticed that long passes rarely go threw enemy players. So it's usually easier passing from the neutral zone to the wingers having two options.

[@Brianstormed]

Go for it! Definitely tweak then to your comfort level! Thanks for the compliment :)

[@PhillySports-hb3zk]

I was a good player before with ur old strats (30-3) but these drastically change the game. I blow out Everyone I play now

[@Brianstormed]

Damn to go from 30-3 to blowing everyone out really says something! Glad you found success with these strats!

[@twe8k]

[@iTryhardMC]

how do u set these settings to where they won’t change in game? talking about online versus

[@R0CKtheR3D]

Thank you for this. I started using your strats in 17 and the struggle has been less real since then.

[@xo0p2000]

Thanks a ton for this. I was struggling to adapt a bit this year but I just crushed my first 3 CS games. Behind the net really helps setup the cross crease

[@twe8k]

Man I’ll be honest, I’m 6-0 since watching this video. I kept getting 2 goal leads and blowing it EVERYTIME. Was 3-8-1 in online versus, now I’m 9-8-1 since watching your video last night. Thanks bruh 🙏

[@johnmack2882]

Thanks Brian! I’ve been going through a lot of different strats this year. 1-2-2 aggressive hasn’t been kind. The behind the net is interesting. I’ll def try it. Thanks again

[@jaredjohnson5630]

When I have the puck how do I get my guys to follow me up to the net better

[@caleb5944]

I didn’t play last year but the AI does not seem to be all that passive on defense. It does on the breakout but in the zone they’re on top of their shit.

[@TheAbbott34]

I really appreciate this. I used to be about 490 CR in NHL 18 and with my defensive game with the skill stick and poke I could stifle all these one trick ponies who score one timer after one timer goal. I can never do the one timer at the side of the net or the breakaway deke goal that the better players use constantly. All of my goals are unique. I've even mastered pulling the puck through my legs which I'm sure oohs and aahs my opponents because in over 300 online vs games I've never had one opponent do that move to me. I bought nhl 19 and I started getting 25 penalties a game and have adapted my poke check as best I can to minimize penalties. The stick lift triggers way too many penalty calls in NHL 19 too I wish they would change that somehow. I'm a 360 CR in NHL 19 now because I can't defend these bastards and their one timers at the side of net. It also didn't help that I use Ottawa and they have the worst team in the game it seems now. Anderson can't stop a beach ball in this version. I finally stopped chasing the puck carrier coming in the zone as others suggested and plunk my D right in front to avoid the one timers cross crease one trick pony goal. It's helping bigtime as I've won 6 of 8 now but these suggestions will likely help me even more. It also helps that I stopped using Ottawa and use Washington now THANK YOU

[@JungleHamster]

I was using sleeveless first. These are better. You get the 1 in 1-4 giving the right amount of pressure. And behind the net has helped huge in scoring

[@ericgunzenhauser162]

Also, I've noticed, having dmen set to cycle rather than shoot..helps d not get caught flat footed

[@rickdudley6404]

Thank u so very much I was using sleeveless and I found my team still doing shit.Your strategy is amazing what a change please do nhl 20 right away when it’s released .Again thank u for making this a way more enjoyable game

[@Brianstormed]

Of course not a problem! Ill be sure to make a similar video. I did make some minor changes playing the beta. If the gameplay is the same ill keep those changes heading into 20.

[@westonm768]

Where do I go to do this?

[@LarsReinhardt007]

Do you have a video about how to score goals???

[@Brianstormed]

Here is one on breakaways: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZeVfJqPg7Vgm8U Here are highlights focused on goal scoring which may give you ideas on how I scored goals: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3a7ZqBqq9Gfr6c

[@micah7655]

Thanks for this video. I’ve been wondering why my strats seemed worse this year.

[@MastaDamage]

I've tried everything and I can't get my team to do the 1-4 when the other player has the puck, it only happens when I have the puck moving up ice into the zone. meaning I'm all alone and nobody to pass to.

[@Brianstormed]

Thats bizarre, its a defensive strategy. It should only happen when the opponent has the puck in the neutral zone. Its possible that they were already in that formation when you got the puck back so it takes them a little to get going. Id change the breakouts to be more aggressive so that theres some more kick in their step or move the energy/efficiency slider a few ticks

[@jean-philippegrenier7116]

Thank-you very much for this High Quality content! :D

[@jeffjarjoura219]

I like anything showing game play. I enjoyed the refuse to lose series.

[@ericgunzenhauser162]

Nhlx4xGunz here and I'd like a video of best build attributes and which actually matter. Also does height n stick reach help far more than a shorter lighter guy with small stick reach..do for defense n feds n goalie. Also would like to see you use the new, select any player you want and does it work better than the normal press right trigger button

[@Brianstormed]

You mean for World of Chel? So throughout the beta I've preached the really big build, the largest you could get. A 6'9 Enforcer Dman. Dude wrecked everything, was hard to get the puck off of him, easy to steal pucks, never got injured, etc. With the new updates and tuners he's not as effective anymore. I've been enjoying the dangler, as it has given me a lot more creative room and mobility to do what I want. You hold onto the puck easier and you are more agile. As far as the new controls, I have made a video about that called the new player switching mechanic. thanks for the feedback! :)

[@Snowman8frosty]

Why does the auction house suck? When I bid on a card I have to go to a different screen to bid again? I don’t remember it being this bad! And sorting broken!Also all team have all star teams and I’m playing silver player still lol!

[@Brianstormed]

Sadly it has been this bad haha, I agree though that this part of the auction house Is inefficient. At least they made it load a little faster.

[@danfortuna1984]

I love this series and ur videos are great. I’m just not a competitive player. I just play on pro difficulty so do you think these strategies still would apply?

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah I think most would apply, considering my strategies try to keep everything passive to give you plenty of time to catch the CPU after a turnover, and blocking shots is one of the most important things you could get your AIs to do. If you want, you might be able to get away with Overload as a strategy since the computer won't skill zone you..but it's still a great innovative strategy

[@danfortuna1984]

Brianstormed thanks for the advice look forward to your next videos 👍🏻

[@nico21r]

Behind the net now is a best strategy ?

[@Brianstormed]

From what I saw, yes, because of all the clutter in front of the net.

[@nickl3184]

I really enjoy your videos my man. If you are looking for ideas on videos to make , I could really use help entering the zone and setting up some scoring chances. I can’t for the life of me break the top 1500 in CS. And it’s crushing my soul.

[@Brianstormed]

I'll come up with a video like that in the future!

[@Johnny2Fingers00]

hey brian! love your vids. i'm wondering if after the new patches you've continued to use full energy on your lines still or do you find your lines go into yellow too often? thanks!

[@Brianstormed]

I stuck with it as it doesn't bother me too much. I do see a big different in their energy though compared to pre-patch. If you feel that you need some more energized lines feel free to move the slider to the left

[@nc1969]

What does online pass assist percentage do?

[@Brianstormed]

The game tries to magnetize the puck to the player you were "trying" to pass to. If its at 100% it'll magnetize the most, if its at 0%, where you move the stick is where it'll go. The higher the %, the more likely the pass will go to a person, but it may not be the right person.

Thanks bro, started to win more games Thank u

[@Brianstormed]

Not a problem dude!

[@tennyis28]

any advice for getting control of the puck in the defensive zone? I feel like i'm spending 99% of the game in my one end!

[@Brianstormed]

It's OK if your opponent is spending more time in your zone, as long as they aren't taking quality shots. If they keep taking bad angle shots, let them! It's hard to say specifically what to do, but I just force everything to the outside and when they try to force their way toward the slot for a shot or pass I'm there to shut it down.

[@JulesOcean]

I think Tight Point on Puck side Attack is better than Collapsing. Collapsing leaves the point wide open and Div 1 players will know to use that when you shut down low down. Also collapsing doesn't cover the one time receiving well, not as good as tight point because it's man on man. If you can play decent to good D controlling the player closest to the puck carrier you will find way more success against top end teams with that setting.

[@Brianstormed]

Hmm yeah thats a good reason to go tight point, but I think against most people collapsing is the way to go because of the amount of blocked shots you get. Leaving the point wide open is okay because its hard to score from there with D to D one timers being nerfed.

[@JulesOcean]

Brianstormed That's a good point. I tried your exact strats yesterday for 5 games. It worked well but again my computer D whenever I didn't control them didn't cover the cross crease at all compared to tight point (ironic i know). Also, 2 of the games they ragged my PP and when I asked why it was because I was using 1-4 lol. So I'll avoid that and 1-3-1 so I don't have to deal with that, but otherwise your settings are really good.

[@tylercampbell8773]

Hey Brianstormed do you have the issue of the skater with the puck just start gliding? This is happening to me a ton. The only thing I can do is pass and hope gliding stops. It's kinda weird when the skater getting the pass is also stuck in the glide. I wonder if it's my controller.

[@Brianstormed]

I don't think so, send me a video so I can better understand what you are going through

[@rickdudley6404]

I’m trying these in NHL20 today cause other guys tips are not working for me

[@ultimatepro13]

Anyone know in EASHL if you hope between multiple clubs or even be in more than one at the same time or is their a time limit between leaving and joining stuff like that.

[@Brianstormed]

There shouldn't be, but idk for sure

[@lxmercyxl9982]

I’m sure NHL19 EASHL is like other NHLs EASHL, in the past you could only be on one team at a time but there is like a 30ish minute wait if you leave 2-3 clubs in a short amount of time. You also lose your stats from when you played games when you leave the club I’m pretty sure

[@MastaDamage]

I doubt EA would allow Smurfing.

[@JohnnyTsunamiGG]

Cant wait to tweak some of my strats. I want to be a pretty good player this year but didnt get the greatest start but not bad: 14-2-1 record atm

[@yodapthd007]

Is there any way to set strategies permanently or do you have to change them every game?

[@Brianstormed]

You can change them permanently in HUT and Franchise through the Edit Strategies menu. For Versus you have to change them every game

[@FarewellFix]

So I mainly just play Online Versus, and I started off hot this year, but in my past 15 games+ I can’t score, I can’t hit the net, the other team is ALWAYS in front of my shot, and it’s every team I play, no matter the team and it’s killing my record and my confidence, because most of the time I have the puck, move it around take shots, they miss or are blocked and I don’t know what’s going on. It’s like I don’t know something others do, I’ve lost to some bad players. 1. I need to know if Vision Control is still viable for shooting? 2. Any tips on what I can do to help my shots from sailing over the net all the time or just hitting the goalie in the chest when I do get a lane open? Also, do these settings pair with just Online VS? or more so just HUT? I’d even love to have a game with someone who’s solid at the game on PS4 play me a few times and critique me and tell me what’s going on. Was really loving the game but I just feel defeated now. Thanks.

[@Brianstormed]

Oh man Versus is a rough animal, the players you use have poor accuracy so even if you make the perfect play you won't score like you said. I played a top player in a series when the game first came out and I got crushed on the scoreboard, but I probably had more high scoring opportunities than him. That's what happens when you use the red wings lol. These strategies will definitely work for Versus, but the only shots you should be aiming for are those cross crease shots, rebounds, and maybe close in the slot. If you are going for anything else without using a sniper like Ovi or Laine or Kessel, it's pretty much a low percentage shot. Hope this helps!

[@Brianstormed]

Oh and vision control is definitely still viable.

[@Johnny2Fingers00]

Brianstormed so what would you recommend for line strats for versus? at one point i was ranked as high as ~#2500 at a 536 rating, now i'm down to a 450 rating and ranked ~#36000 a few days after! i keep losing a lot of games just to shitty luck. my defensive skills are better than my offensive skills. when the game is tied or i'm up, the strats work, but when i'm losing, what suggestions do you have when i'm losing? what should i change? also, have you experimented with the sliders so you dump more? is dump and chase viable yet? i love grinder games and i love grinder hockey. i notice even some elite guys have guys on their strong wing but you still have players on weak wing. what's the benefits of that? also what kind of dekes do you find most useful against defenders?

[@noahwhitehawk3405]

FarewellFix fuck bro, same!! I was 127 overall rank. Now I’m fucking 3,300 it’s fucking bullshit. My goalie never stops anything, I can be outshooting the other player 40 shots to 10 and they’ll always have 4 goals

[@cameroncunningham687]

What makes a line switch happen

[@Brianstormed]

It tends to be energy based, once your line is low on energy and the puck is in a favorable position (deep in the opponents zone for in stance) it'll automatically change lines. You can manually change lines as well

[@mattschaefer1278]

Can you make a video comparing the Cycle/Shoot and Carry/Dump all the way on versus all the way off with video gameplay?

[@Brianstormed]

I might look into this in the future.

[@Brianstormed]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@JulesOcean]

When it's on Dump the AI will skate faster when crossing the line in order to be able to retrieve the puck, this will lead to alot of offsides taken by the AI when you are carrying the puck. That is the main reason to have it all the way on Carry. If you have it on Cycle the D will stay along the boards mostly receive passes from forwards on the perimeter, Shoot they will be towards the middle and creep deeper for one timer shots.

new to this game....what about settings in Chel 3v3

[@Brianstormed]

If you are playing with all players, strategies don't matter. With AIs, it's probably best to keep them as defensive and as passive as possible so they don't give up breakaways easily and they are always furthest back. I think maybe on defense they can be a bit more aggressive so that they can pressure the puck carrier.

[@TheAbbott34]

[@jerryl2627]

The gameplay in general is solely programmed around HUT. With EA's sole purpose of tricking you into thinking you need better players to make more money (system's even implemented offline). Meaning, the team with the higher overall (3 overall points or higher generally) is going to have an advantage no matter what. This is where your artificial lag in a game comes from when you are playing a stacked, or better team. It's where lucky goals happen and momentum changes 10 fold. Ever feel like the other team has the upper hand all game? Yep, that's the way the game is designed, intentionally. I'm bringing this up because strategies will have little to no effect on gameplay when playing a better overall team. I enjoy your videos though! Cheers

Whats the best strategy for club?

[@Brianstormed]

How are you playing? Are you doing 3s with two forwards and one AI? Two forwards in 6s? 4 skaters and one AI in 6s? It very much depends on how many AIs and what position they play so its tough to say exactly but I can give a few pointers.

[@RockySenshi23]

Two forwards and that’s it

[@Brianstormed]

Are you doing 3v3s or 6v6s?

[@RockySenshi23]

@@Brianstormed 6v6

[@Brianstormed]

Ah okay. In 3v3 your AI has to be really passive otherwise they'll give up a lot of breakaways. In 6v6s since you have AIs everywhere you just need them to be in the right position. Try this: 1-2-2 Aggressive (Forward helping with forecheck) 1-3-1 Trap/Forecheck 2 from the left, if you aren't getting enough help on forecheck then bump it to the right. Offensive Pressure - Aggressive Defensive Pressure - Puck Side Attack Defensive Strategy - Tight point to have your AIs stick to the opposition. Penalty Kill - Passive Box Powerplay - Overload PP carry - 0 Control Breakout - Strong Side Slant Power Play Breakout - Carry Quick Breakout - Close Support 3 on 3 - Passive Forward Lines - Crash the Net Carry - 0 Cycle/Shoot - 0 Efficiency/Energy - 10 Dont Block/Block - 10 Hold Line - 8 (This will let your defensive AIs push up on the play more) Cycle/Shoot - 0

Cmon man....😥. I love your content but seeing the 1 4 just broke my heart. Its a shame everyone uses this whack strategy setting. I don't hate you for it but thought you'd not fall into the trap scheme.

[@Brianstormed]

Well its either 1-3-1 or 1-4 depending on my opponent, it usually is 1-3-1 but for beginners the 1-4 is best. 1-2-2 Blue and 1-2-2 red are just so bad and really easy to pass through. They would probably only be good against opponents who like to circle back in the NZ.

[@ceezare3039]

I have never used any neutral zone trap during my NHL playing time, I can't stand trap hockey, I'm starting to get the feeling everybody playing nhl 19 now are using the trap as their defensive strategy and some games I play I find it nearly impossible to skate in their zone, let alone dumping and chasing. Another thing I'm noticing as of late is, a lot of the time when I'm in the opponents zone and go for a one time pass, the defender always intercepts it, like his stick is a magnet to the puck, frustrates the shit out of me lol

[@schiavone95able]

I tried this and lost 7 to 2. He had 7 goals on 12 shots. I hate this fucking game. Kids just skate right into my zone and I can barely break in still. I was so good at 18

[@Brianstormed]

Don't expect this to work on your first attempt. You have to buy into the system, understand how your players will act and then make your decisions based on that. At the same time, your opponent could have just been really good and strategies wouldn't have mattered much. Finally, the only strategies that affect your breakout/break into the offensive zone are the quick/control breakouts which I have it set to a far more defensive/passive style so that your players support you incase you lose the puck.

[@schiavone95able]

Can’t count how many games I’ve lost last minute. Seems no matter my strats...they skate past me no problem..and I’ve got a pretty good team already, so they aren’t stiffs. I get poked at their blue line...and the endless SWITCHING off to AI is really pissing me off. Play D your damn self!

Last minute goals are something that you have to try to adjust your gameplay for. Slow it down when you have the puck in the final two or three minutes and only go for the highest quality chances. Otherwise, cycle it around and wear down your opponent.

For strategies or just in general? I do have EASHL Shenanigans recorded, I don't know if it'll be enough content for an episode though.

nhl 18 strategie works better for me

[@Brianstormed]

Mine? It may just be the type of players you played against, against elite players they won't do anything.

[@T2P661]

Brianstormed I used your strat setting from last year and won a lot of games. Until I played an elite player, I couldn’t do anything and I got beat bad 5-1

[@Brianstormed]

Those elite players can shut down any strats, the goal is to learn and adapt!
