NHL 21: OFFENSE AND PUCK CONTROL TIPS!

Wow, hitting x before L2 is a revelation. I had no idea, thanks!

[@coopersusick2465]

L2

Lol I'm ranked top 100 in vs and I'm just finding out about this as well as some other glitch goals. Also have lost my connection 15 times and just recently got good internet!

This is like cheat codes lol. It was the piece of the puzzle I was missing honestly; the X before L2.

[@snc237]

I’m in mid D2 (2080 currently so according to Sleeves I’m a great player) Top 250 in champs every week... I’m just learning now if you protect the puck you can half spin with you back! You know how much I struggle with that for years and it was that damn simple. Faaaack! Haha

[@dudecory080]

Thank you so much man! This has been the most helpful video so far this year! I had no idea about holding A to pivot away from the play. Was trying to figure out how to do that for the longest time. Thank you so much Sleeves!

[@otiscarswell3403]

Bro I'm new to NHL 21 USED TO PLAY BACK IN 90'S LOL but after watching several videos yours had been the most informative and easily broken down. Thank buddy👍🏾 #newsubcriber

[@crosscheck25]

I watched the video, practiced a little bit and won my first game in Superstar Mode (now I've got those 6x 2030 collectibles)! I'm pumped! Thanks man!

[@Hawkissimo]

GREAT video. I'd love to see something to help those of us who play squad battles at lower levels and want/need to improve here as I think that this is one of the ways to get more of us to actually try playing vs other players and/or enjoy the game even more. Thanks!

[@andrewlord4945]

I've watched high level CHEL play to try to figure out what elite players do, but this video kind of decoded all that for me. Super-helpful, five stars, liked and subscribed.

[@frostedflinks]

Hey man i watched this, defensive one and some other and really helped my game. I was already doing some thing like defense on right side but the little tips helped a ton. Im getting like 10+ toa now

[@aaronlopez5566]

Dudeeeeeeeeee! I’ve been using the protect puck before I spin coming into the zone and it helps tremendously. Thank you man, seriously appreciate these videos every year.

[@retiredcodnerd]

THANK YOU! Ive been trying to find info like this and its very hard. Just that first tip is so useful!

[@jerekokko1428]

Jeah me too.

[@RockeyRacoone]

Awesome video. Super, super helpful. More like these pls! Thank you.

[@KarlNorway87]

Omg. L2 and X...... went from div 5 to 3 . This video is so helpful

[@TheManofthehour99]

Simple and a new way to approach the game from a very less than average player thanks.

[@dennisfontler7443]

That half-spin tip has fucking saved me in rivals and made so i don't destroy my contoller in anger. Went 8-2 my last ten games and a LOT of goals with that half-spin!

[@Assassin87995]

Just learned the play along the baords while playing a squad battle game and quickly got them a tripping penanlty and scored on the PP...thanks for the video

[@BRYCEREDSOX]

Turned me into a D2 player From the offensive and defensive tips

[@hazmat6634]

Wow! Wow! Wow! The first ever video of a useful NHL tip. I suck at this game and every video I watch to learn how to improve talks about useless **it that I already know. That tip I did not know. Nice work 👏.

[@alexpayne1364]

The half spin is nerfed so its much slower and less affected. Turn your back the the play the defender will drill you.

[@tonechaser7174]

Great video, very helpful. Subbed and look forward to more. Good shit dude

[@BenSS3]

Thank you so much for the info, I've been wondering why I couldn't utilize backskating without losing the puck everytime. I had a theory that it had something to do with protect puck, but I thought it must've just been a placebo effect, lolol. Really helpful tips, for real though, as for the first time ever, I've been struggling in Div 4 (I've almost always been Div 1 - 2, rarely div 3, but this year is much harder for me, as my strength used to be stick handling / wrist shots), and I've won the last 7 of 9 games I played since watching this video. I was able to implement it immediately into the first game I played without practicing it, but, it definitely is harder that way (I don't tend to get frustrated when trying new things, I find it more fun & in my case, more practical as I tend to retain muscle memory very well, even to a fault if I stay in practice mode too long, lol). Keep us updated on anything else that you can think of, as of course everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, but even providing insight on how you typically practice before playing (as well as what drills/moves used/ways you learned that made it easier or more fun for you) is a tremendous help. I've played since NHL 09', and every year since, but I know personally that it's always been more of "[Get a] Feel for it, don't think about it [at all], and everything will work out" kind of guy, lol. Another big tip guys, ALWAYS PLAY THE FULL 60 MINUTES, even if it's 0-5, I've personally made bigger comebacks (especially this year, where it seems like momentum plays a HUGE role in every puck bounce, lol) by just playing like it was 0-0, telling myself to see how many goals I can get in "x" amount of time. Don't give up until the game ends! This year I've scored GWGs and tying goals with under 0.5 seconds left like no ones business - and it's also happened against me even more times, lol.

[@vashstampede4878]

Yo a quitted game is a lost game. A game that you lose 10-1 is a learning experience. I totally agree, finish every game and take losses as a learning experience. Literally, you CAN'T win em all.

[@frankyaeger675]

I'm always torn between doing what works and what feels like a legit hockey play. I know most of the tricks in the eashl bag but I prefer good hockey plays and some of these tips I have done in real hockey

[@matthieulafontaine3370]

Amazing how I just now learned that X modifies the what side you turn lmao! I'm also far from being terrible at the game. I have no issues reaching elite in clubs year in year out and I play D. Been playing EASHL since day 1 so that's just crazy that I learn this now Thx for that 😊

[@matthieulafontaine3370]

Either I was doing it unconsciously or I've been a lucky mofo for 12 yrs now lol

[@florianidschok]

unpopular opinion: the half spin in the offensive zone shouldn't be a thing. It's not a thing in real life so why should it be in game

Way to ruin it for the rest of us

The half spin is a really good move but it’s kinda easy to counter if you’re an advanced player. Just check them and knock him off the puck.

I hope this helps. I love this game but damnit if I'm not frustrated with sucking. I just want a positive win to loss ratio which I've never had in any nhl game

[@dlusion316]

I find that when I pass the puck my players are always standing still and take forever to get skating and opponents catch and pressure me so fast. I notice this a lot and maybe it’s a conn3ction issue. It’s frustrating as hell

[@NYG1991]

Dude, it’s impossible to try & control the puck in this game. Every time I pass it to one of my teammates it bounces right off of them. I don’t know what to do anymore. How do you do it?!

[@Ant-ct4qk]

Dude how do you stop the defense from taking the puck on all star mode. Litterally can't do anything yet the other team zooms past me when I'm kn defense

How can I do just from left to right with the stick. Like when you do a penalty and skate straight to the goal. Move the stick from left to right?

[@STBR247]

I need help. When cycling the puck in the offensive zone, my winger follows me around closely which is very annoying. I want him to stay mid to create space for a passing lane, but I’ll pass to my defenseman to start the cycle, and my winger just sprints at me... can anybody fix this?

[@nytess2]

Is there anyway to get better at this game using hybrid control? I suck so bad with skill stick :(

[@jeremy745]

PLEASEEEE tell EA to add puck control X button for Hybrid players!!! I wait for this every year and they never add it... Hybrid players shouldn’t be at a disadvantage..

Ive tried it, but it seems a tiny bump n I either lose it or drop the puck. Its not helping my players not being half as good. I wanna be able to play possession but I cant ever seem to improve it
