The Secret to Scoring Goals on Breakaways in NHL 18

[@itsharambe6987]

I like how well you break everything down. Easy to follow. Earned a sub! 👍🏽

[@Brianstormed]

Thanks dude, appreciate it! One of my next videos will be about scoring goals in general so hopefully it will help out as well! =]

[@derekeisenbrei9440]

I use the "approaching from forehand, moving to backhand" move as my go to. I have only had trouble executing it with lower rated players. Since most of my team (and probably everyone else's) is loaded with high stats, this is pretty reliable.

[@derekeisenbrei9440]

Brian, do you have any suggestions on which players I should invest in? I have over half a million coins. Thanks dude!

[@MikeRogers483]

Looking forward to your 18 tuts man. Thanks for putting so much time into these. With your help, one day I will not suck.

[@Brianstormed]

Thanks dude! There is certainly a lot to look forward to. Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll be great at the game :) Remember, if you need any additional help with anything..let me know!

[@underratedlegend6839]

Right left right or vice versa really the only move ya need been the same since 07 :p

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah but it only works in certain situations. Like I said, its best to know a move for each situation.

[@justforsongs1]

Hasn't been working for me and I'm an NHL vet so I don't get it

[@zacharycunningham9305]

It always works I usually right left right tho

[@Fang_Of_Metsudo]

Aka: unrealistic glitch goal

[@marvinikurwa6507]

One thing works for me if you are example left handed shot and coming from right. Just make big cut to middle and shoot puck straight forward to goal. Goalie will go to other way you are shooting. In my opinion its glitch goal, cause its works sometimes even from blueline. Breakaways seems much harder to score in this game.

[@Brianstormed]

Yup! Those are goals scored from the breakout, I talk about those in my "The Secret to Shooting and Scoring Goals" video. I have to disagree about breakaways being harder to score. Your #1 priority should be breakaways, if you can't get those, then you go to the breakout, if you cant get a good chance on the breakout, you go to the cycle.

[@marvinikurwa6507]

Brianstormed Maybe its harder for me because in NHL 18, the deking rating means more than any other NHL game. If you have bad rating you lose the puck. But for me it feels harder than NHL 17. Maybe some training ... And I will score better from breakaways. ;)

[@Brianstormed]

Oh yeah you don't want to deke in NHL 18 unless you are using a 90+ OVR player. Its just not worth having the chance to lose the puck.

[@sonny749]

your videos rocked last year

[@pattymakk1597]

Backhand tuck starting from the forehand is the way to go this year. Unstoppable.

[@Brianstormed]

+iAM Str1ctlyBus1nesS yeah I'm starting to see it's pretty op too.

[@pattymakk1597]

for sure. i put together a video pretty much showing how OP it is if you care to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4bLm3qbd6xofbs

[@jamaltatums]

Does the toe drag not work anymore? It was my go-to every time in prior chels

[@Brianstormed]

+James Tait it exists, it doesn't go in as often, and it's really easy to lose the puck. That's why it's not a recommend breakaway to do. Maybe if you were using a 99 OVR it would be more feasible.

[@jamaltatums]

Damn, that sucks to hear. It worked with literally third pairing defencemen for me last year haha

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah its mostly because of the new deking system. Any dekes you do will cause you to lose the puck if your stats are too low. Thats why I made sure I did this video with a weak player that can't deke well so that you'll have a much easier time with higher rated cards.

[@jamaltatums]

Good to know, thanks brotha

[@CaRnAgE-om2zc]

I still use it often man in hut dependjng in who the tendy is like im finding its not workin on my buddys cujo where it worked on vanbesbrouck and most of his others

[@santan6393]

Backhand forehand backhand always works for me

[@JautraGaming]

Corey Flett nhl 07 xD

[@ReeferChiefer1]

How do u do a reverse wrap around?

[@thecalvenator]

Hey, Brianstormed! Do you have an opinion when on a break away on right-handed goalies versus left-handed goalies? Is one easier than the other? Are there moves that you should do more often on the glove side or the blocker side?

[@Brianstormed]

I've always felt blocker side is much easier because the goalie has to lift up his blocker to make the save and its a little harder to control. BUT, these moves can be done on both sides so its not a big deal. I hope one day we live in a world where the EA game will make each goalie feel different and have their own strengths and weaknesses. (Spoiler alert for NHL 19 Wishlist)

[@blankname6629]

100 percent right about the sweep move. You lose control of the puck with a lower skilled guy pretty much every time

[@User-fl6it]

Nice video keep up the work

[@maxx_2091]

Very good video!

[@Brianstormed]

Thanks

[@kylecampbell4306]

Help! What do you recommend to get a breakaway? This is for the challenges against the computer to get rewards like an evo collectible. I've tried switching up my strategies, trying to get a steal on the pk but nothing that is consistent for when these challenges come out. Especially frustrating against a superstar computer.

[@Brianstormed]

I have a video that can help you complete challenges here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ7bcnuLhst6p7c But if you can go up by a goalie, you can position lock toward the end of the game and sit up top waiting for the puck and shoot at an empty net.

[@GhostKnife13]

On the "pretty" moves, did it take a long time for you to get them down? Also it seems that the start timing on most of the dekes is still between the hashmarks. have you found that to be true?

[@Brianstormed]

It didn't take too long to try them, but getting the right angle and position down did take a few attempts. Even when I'm playing I can find myself being a little too far to one side or doing them a little too early so the goalie has more time to stop it. Best to them as late as you can. Yeah I found between the hashmarks a good indicator for your positioning prior to the dekes. But it would really depend on how fast you can pull them off. I think the sweep deke would be more closer to the goalie, as well.

[@loisarmstrong5810]

how do you do the defensive skill stick

[@Brianstormed]

Hold RB or R1 whlie moving the right stick around.

[@trzym855]

Lets go wings

[@Brianstormed]

LGRW!

[@InQuickWeTrust]

Anyone know what you get in the vintage collections set? What is an exclusive jersey or player item?

[@Brianstormed]

You get either a non-base jersey (Mighty Ducks of Anaheim purple/green jerseys, for instance) or one of the new centennial players which are just a lower OVR version of a really good card.

[@InQuickWeTrust]

Brianstormed thanks man! I was wondering why you would get a centennial player for just 1 collectible but I guess because you're taking a gamble because you might get a jersey lol

[@InQuickWeTrust]

Brianstormed I pulled an 81 Robitaille I wonder what he would sell for

[@Brianstormed]

I can't imagine those guys going for too much unfortunately. Save your collectibles for the sets (imo), only after the promo ends or you don't need the collectibles go for that.

[@InQuickWeTrust]

Brianstormed update: sold for 10k was that too cheap or was that good for an 81?

[@yeetz3508]

Daddy!

[@jenniferverscharen4670]

The Canadian Dude love your channel.

[@corunguneee]

Left to right move that works often is forehand backhand 5hole

[@Brianstormed]

Hmm yeah I could see that working, the 5 hole is just very unpredictable so thats why I don't usually shoot there.

[@collintag73]

So it's possible to get around the backskating defenders for once? in NHL 16 they were so fast it was annoying. That screwed me from getting so many breakaways it was just nuts!

[@Brianstormed]

Its the same as every year, it seems harder this year but honestly you should have been able to do it in NHL 16 and 17. It may be because you didn't have the right strategies set up so that your players are further up to go past your opponent.

[@collintag73]

thx for the reply! I've tried every setup and strategy in 16 (didn't buy 17) and the backskating Dmen move so fast, even 90+ speed wingers can't get around them most of the time. I do get an occasional one but going by the situations I should be getting a lot more. Most of my best chances for a breakaway get screwed over by missing the "seamless" puck pick ups or some sort of phantom slow down that allows the D to catch up. I made a short YT clip about it even. Was hoping they had addressed some of that.

[@DG-dh8yj]

I mean when you have the difficulty setting to rookie it's pretty easy to get past the defenders and the goalie like that

[@Brianstormed]

I play on Superstar against the AIs and get plenty of breakaways, thanks for your concern though.

[@collintag73]

Well still being on NHL16 I turned the acceleration slider for CPU all the way down and for human all the way up and I manage to get SOME breakaways now. But there is this artificial slowdown that happens at the blue line a lot of the time that is insane and I think that is part of the problem. I stole a pass literally 15 seconds into a game and had 5 strides on the d-men...until I hit the blue line. My player slowed dramatically and the d-men both caught me and poked the puck away before I had a chance to shoot. Happened again later in the same game. It's lame. I hope NHL 18 doesn't have that because I really would like to upgrade soon.

[@xEclipsEvox]

Hi there, i have a little problem with forehand backhand. Always when i want to shoot backhand infront of the goalie, the player always shoots forehand,so that he nerver shoots backhand goals. Hope u can help me

[@Brianstormed]

Hmm, it could be your positioning, so if you end up stickhandling to your backhand, but you skate toward your forehand, your stick will look like its on the forehand even though you could bring it back further out. Try to skate toward your backhand and see if the shot will go from the backhand.

[@xEclipsEvox]

Hi, thank you for the quick answer. I got the same problem like this guy here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3OpnYqqnL52sM0 Its really the same. And i dont know why he always shoots with forehand

[@Brianstormed]

Wtf, thats new. My guess is that the right stick returns to the original position causing the player not to properly stickhandle to the backhand. It should be a seamless right left right motion.

[@xEclipsEvox]

Brianstormed Yes, its a little crazy. I try something out. May be i'll find that out. Sometimes it works, it seems that i am doing something wrong....

[@kozlovvsevolod4550]

Thank you:)

[@brodymckerchie1723]

I cant get a backhand forehand backhand and i dont know why

[@Brianstormed]

Try holding the initial backhand for a little longer as you come closer to the goalie, and then quickly go to the forehand and back to the backhand and shoot. Try skating faster or try skating slower. If its not that then maybe its your aiming with the left stick.

[@ImperialRam]

Question: Am I the only one having trouble getting one timers from my players in HUT? My dmens cant shoot a one timer, neither can my forwards and it's a bit annoying

[@Brianstormed]

For forwards, I learned that you either are trying to get 1Ters through breakouts or through cycling. It'll be tough to get both. That is the difference between having your wingers play on their offhands or not play on their offhands.

[@ImperialRam]

Brianstormed so you recommend to have right handed players play on the RW and left handed on the LW

[@Brianstormed]

For breakout 1Ters yes, if you cycle the puck then the opposite.

[@ImperialRam]

Brianstormed thanks for the tips! Just subscribed to your channel so looking forward to good content!!

[@Brianstormed]

Welcome to the Storm :)

[@blakobecwa]

So wait.... did they remove the regular toe drag??

[@Brianstormed]

HH Productions the regular toe drag still exists as a deke, but it is very tough to score on, on a breakaway. In addition to that, it's easy to lose the puck.

[@blakobecwa]

Brianstormed ahhh ic, well I noticed it's tough to score with the toe drag anymore even in NHL17 as well. Must have been after an update. The main deke you showed in the video (backhand forhand backhand from the side) IS the easiest way I find to score on the breakaway almost everytime.

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah thats why I mentioned that move first :)

[@steelo136]

I really cant wait for NHL 18 because I'm preordering the young stars edition. But I think I'm gonna be playing the hell out of 3's lol. Also what mic are you using?

[@Brianstormed]

The game should already be out for you if you preordered young stars, just go and pick it up ;) I use the Audio-Technica 2020USBi

[@1stwxrrior957]

how do you do a one handed shot

[@Brianstormed]

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about the one handed tuck later in the video? You can't actually shoot with one hand.

[@ortsa3430]

Thanks!!!! This helps

[@Brianstormed]

No problem :)

[@danglezwashington6907]

Awesome you can score with Ericsson. But can you score with Mr. rock hands himself, aka Darren Helm?

[@Brianstormed]

Haha, Helm is my bae every year in HUT. They surprisingly give him high deking and handling attributes XD

[@brettshelton9654]

Do they really still have the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena?

[@Brianstormed]

SIA Airport I don't think they were allowed inside the arena prior to the release date. I heard they will update it soon.

[@youtubereaston1684]

when i try to do the between the legs it does not work

[@Brianstormed]

Are you talking about the between the legs shot or the deke?

[@youtubereaston1684]

it works thank for you the help

[@youtubereaston1684]

it was the between the legs shot

[@myChannel-tn3ly]

good video

[@peterchiarelli4326]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, is it just me or when you go forehand then backhand and then shoot on a breakaway, it's slower

[@peterchiarelli4326]

I hope you guys believe this but (I'm not saying I created the technique) I learned to do the backhand, forehand, backhand by myself in practice mode before I saw a video about it

[@Brianstormed]

No problem :).. what part is slower? The shooting? The backhands will always have lower power compared to the forehand shots. I also do know that they slowed down the stickhandling so it wasn't overpowered on breakaways.

[@Brianstormed]

Haha nice! Fun fact: I did the Bacon slapshot before bacon did back in NHL 12 or was it 13? But nobody cared about me ;_;

[@ALEXLEKK]

hey Brianstormed did you do this on superstar?

[@Brianstormed]

I've scored all the breakaway goals on superstar, yes.

[@ALEXLEKK]

Cool your methods look great but do you know how to score a shorthanded goal?

[@Brianstormed]

In general, or are you struggling with scoring one while shorthanded?

[@ALEXLEKK]

How to be shorthanded and the techniques to score while shorthanded. Can you do a video about that?

[@Brianstormed]

I'll be uploading a video about that shortly! :)..the secret is breakaways though.

[@mcnicoll69]

hey nice video... you know want is the perpus of the collector milestone??

[@Brianstormed]

Milestone collectible? you can throw it into a set to get a milestone card..right now they aren't that great though. Wait until like the first day of the season for some great cards!

[@mcnicoll69]

so it a good time to buy them at 2k :)

[@Brianstormed]

I think so, yes! I mentioned this in my 1k to 1m+ series.

[@mcnicoll69]

thank a lot... great video :)

[@habshockeycards6719]

It would be cool if in NHL 19 be a pro mode they made it so if your player is good he can play in the all star game and for team canada in olympics and World Cup and stuff...

[@nicolasaudet6751]

Brianstormed i have a quetion for you, how we control the goalie during a game and how we pull the goalie during a game

[@Brianstormed]

Control the goalie by pressing: LB + A on Xbox (L1+ X on PS4) Pull the goalie by pressing: LB + Select on Xbox (L1 + Touch Pad on PS4 -- I think, someone may need to confirm!)

[@dylanconway1191]

You're right about the goalie pull

[@Brianstormed]

Thank you for confirming :)

[@nicolasaudet6751]

Ok thanks

[@allianceofthesubs6115]

Right left shot

[@WinRing86]

You can go five-hold coming in on the left from your backhand

[@Brianstormed]

I personally hate the five hole just because its very random, but if it works for you.. go for it!

[@InQuickWeTrust]

I can't score on breakaways anymore and it seems like my opponent can't either

[@Brianstormed]

Hopefully with this video your fortune changes!

[@jordanhachey7476]

Why are you so awesome

[@Brianstormed]

+Jordan Hachey my parents Awe and Some had a baby. My brother turned out SomeAwe, and I turned out AweSome ;)

[@chrisputinta8378]

Brianstormed that was pretty gay..

[@Brianstormed]

You are welcome.

[@joejo6969]

Toe drag is the best one

[@Brianstormed]

The toe drag is the best one (well maybe tied with backhand forehand backhand) if you are using like a 90+ OVR player that won't lose the puck easily, for the lower overalls you risk losing the puck before even having a chance to shoot it.

[@CaRnAgE-om2zc]

Toe drags are still great

[@Brianstormed]

They aren't as powerful as last year, but yeah they can still score. The problem with them this year is that with a low OVR player you'll lose the puck trying to do them making them not as effective.

[@michaelbaumann4747]

Never would have took the shot at 3:22. Would have passed it to the guy standing in front of basically an empty net. Nice goal though.

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah I know, it was just for demonstration purposes on that particular breakaway goal. The pass is the better option in a case like that.

[@michaelbaumann4747]

Yeah I hear ya man. Nice goal. Been having so much trouble on breakaways. I can't get a good shot at all. I literally shoot straight all the time or I skate too far and don't even get a shot off. I guess it's about holding the left stick in the direction and getting the shot off just before you get to the goalie (most of the time).

[@skolblues]

bouchard invented that move in shootouts

[@Brianstormed]

Huh, interesting! Didn't know that.

[@skolblues]

Brianstormed great vid tho thanks

[@notsobrainypegasus8661]

Being a easel goalie in feel like NHL 18 made it harder to be a goaltender

[@Brianstormed]

Yeah I can imagine how bad it must be for you guys :/..gotta make sure your defense is doing their job though and being the furthest man back all the time!

[@zombiehunter599]

Forhand backhand forhand backhand like every other one

[@Goopydreams]

Used to be sick at breakaways in 17 all of a sudden I can’t score shit on 18

[@Brianstormed]

I'd say just practice and be patient! Its harder to do some of these moves perfectly in high pressure in-game situations. The more you do them, the more comfortable you will be, and the more you'll score!

[@Brianstormed]

[@tomlapisto2840]

These are really stupid and show me how broken NHL still is. I play 15 on PS3 still and I can't believe that the protect the puck then going forehand move actually works. It's like the developers never watch nhl games, you would never see half these go in in real NHL games or an NHL player even try these moves because there's no deception

[@Syketherapper]

I actually kinda hate these "how to" videos. Why not let noobs be noobs and let everyone learn on their own? Of course you get views but still man :D Every single youtuber should drop these.

Yeah, you are right, I should just do pack openings like everyone else lol

[@jenskrause6968]

[@PurifiedInfiniteChel]

Some people need visual guides. We are lucky to have a top player go through step by step and explain the situations

[@danglezwashington6907]

Why would you want to continually beat up on noobs? And if you're that good at the game you shouldn't be getting matched up with noobs.

[@OhhItsKrafty]

Donny Difference top player? Okay

[@folland34]

This game is a pile of garbage

[@briana.shirts3118]

Holy crap, why do you talk and talk at the beginning. Most people don’t want to hear it. Just jump in and show and then talk. Moving on because of the minute and half of blabbing.

[@Brianstormed]

It's called an introduction to not only the video but the series as well.

[@coopercurti3384]

All this guy is teaching are all the scummy glitch goals that take no skill. Except the skill moves.

[@Brianstormed]

None of these shots have a 100% chance of going in. The only glitch shot you could probably argue is the one used by the top player that I taught, but again, its not 100%.

[@coopercurti3384]

I'm not saying you have to always do what you call the pretty moves I'm just saying it's an easy way out rather than making a real move. Cause with the first five moves I believe, you are taking advantage of the AI goalies programming rather than challenging your abilities.

[@Brianstormed]

Not quite. One of the changes this year (or was it last year?) is that the goalie doesn't "bite" on the first move as often, and it is noticeable because sometimes he does make the save. What would you consider a "real move"? As far as I know, NHLers have done all these breakaway moves. Its not like you are doing something unrealistic.

[@JagsFan95]

NHL 18 is garbage. I'm so glad I didn't waste my money on this crap.

[@gmoney-m6x]

Frank Grimes it's actually really fun - in my opinion anyways.

[@habshockeycards6719]

Gurvir Tiwana yes I think it was quite well done

[@thepittstop6010]

Exploiting glitching

[@Brianstormed]

These aren't glitches, breakaways are meant to be high percentage opportunities and it doesn't matter which of these breakaway moves you do, you won't score 100% of the time.

[@thepittstop6010]

Brianstormed by the looks of you're video you score them 100% of the time it people like you who ruin the game by exploiting glitch goals

[@Brianstormed]

I bet you only saw the first move and thought they were all going to be like that. If you take fatigue, timing, and pressure into consideration you'll end up messing up the move more than you think. That is just under perfect conditions.

[@thepittstop6010]

Brianstormed you keep exploiting glitch goal I hope people like you get banned from ea by exploiting glitch goals

[@Brianstormed]

Its not a glitch goal though. A glitch goal looks like the wrap around where the goalie comes off the post and you can score it 100% of the time. A glitch goal is the Bacon Slapshot (from NHL 13/14 -- not the later ones) where you should have no business scoring from the corner of the ice.

[@islesfan186]

That third way to score is complete garbage and shows just how poorly this game is made. This video should just be called how to score glitch goals

[@ReeferChiefer1]

How do u do a reverse wrap around?
