If you have a clear understanding of the basic controls and have found some success with them then it’s time to take it to the next level. Just like every other aspect of NHL, when you keep your opponent guessing you increase your chance for success. Your opponent can jump on that predictability and take advantage. If your opponent is doing the same thing every draw and you are winning there may not be a need to make changes, but you are probably winning it to the same area, and will become predictable. I have definitely shut some people out on faceoffs, but it was only due to their inability to adjust. If you are getting beat several draws in a row to the same type of faceoff you should try alternating your faceoff type, and timing. The most important factor when starting out is recognizing this, and making adjustments. Every faceoff type has a counter, somewhat like rock, paper, scissors. The most interesting aspect of the faceoff system in nhl is that it is not completely determined by what you are doing, the element of what your opponent is doing is also at play. Even in a severely laggy game a center can adjust their timing and still win draws. I start my faceoff motion just after his hand moves, and adjust to earlier, later, or maintain depending on my success rate. The ref typically looks at both centerman, pauses a moment, his hand moves, and then the puck is dropped. I recommend watching the refs movement to determine the timing needed for success. Lets start off by saying that all faceoff wins require a precise timing. The success rate is determined by your player attributes (strength + faceoff), timing, and opponent’s choice of faceoff type. You can use the RS as a modifier to this win, altering the tie up animation, and holding it longer. Currently, the success rate is extremely low, and mostly when it is won it is usually because you are facing an opponent with very poor timing.īy pressing the LS in any direction it initiates the “tie up”, holding the opposing center in the circle and giving your teammates an opening to come in and grab the puck. Out of the box NHL 11, day 1 I like many others, discovered how effective doing this win and quickly passing cross crease for a tap in can be against both AI and human goalies. This win was so successful and somewhat exploitative that EA dialed back its success rate. You can also hold the LB button while pressing up to “dangle win” the puck through the opponents legs. However, understand that the success rate of this win is low. Anticipating the puck drop will help in successfully executing this type of draw win. Pressing down is not your only option, you can also press up on the RS to shoot the puck down the ice. However aiming towards the LD for a lefty with the LS will send it to him with a backhand win (reverse for righty). If you don’t use the LS it will do the default forehand win. While pressing down on the RS you can aim the direction of the win with the LS, opening up different animations defending on the direction. The classic faceoff system of pressing down is still there in the modern faceoff system, but even this has been updated. We will go over the types, timing, and strategy.involved in faceoffs FACEOFF TYPES In this section we are going to go over the basics of the faceoff system for someone just starting to take the draws. This guide will lay out the intricacies of the revamped NHL faceoff engine. The system is complex and has been mostly unexplained. It stayed this way until NHL 11 when EA added both sticks to the equation, opening up a wide realms of animations based on timing, type of draw, and attributes. Simply pressing down at that key moment was all it took to win a draw.

Historically, faceoffs in the NHL series were heavily weighted on a timing battle. Giving your team the puck right away asserts control, allowing your team to dictate tempo, to increase puck possession time, to run set plays off the draws, and to regain the puck safely on defensive faceoffs. We all know the old adage that the game starts on the puck drop, and that’s why winning faceoffs is so key.
