I find auto back skate kicks in too early when defending and your opponent will just burn past you before you can get a good angle. ***I highly recommend turning OFF auto back skate in your game settings so you have full control over which way your player is facing. Also, when defending inside your zone you can hold vision control to get a better angle on your opponent and keep them to the outside The first two situations(one-timer and tip-in) are only relevant when playing with another human player on the same team or if your player is position locked since otherwise you will always be automatically switched to the puck carrier.ĭefending: When your opponent is on the rush you can manually control when you turn around by using vision control. Hold down vision control then pull back on the right analog stick to wind up the shot and you will be ready to rip it! One-timer: When your buddy has the puck looking to pass and you’re setting up for a one-timer you of course need to be facing the puck. When to: As mentioned above, there are 3 situations where it especially comes in handy. How to: With or without the puck, hold down LT for Xbox One or L2 on Ps4. Especially useful when getting ready for a one-timer, positioning for a tip in, or defending. Vision control makes your player always face the puck. Again, some of this you may already be familiar with in which case you can jump to any section you like using the table of contents to the right. Keep in mind that this will drain your players energy much quicker. Speed burst: Press down the analog stick(元) to use speed burst. Point it in the direction you want to go. How to move your player: The left analog stick controls your players skating. If you can master NHL 17’s movement/skating you will have a very clear advantage over your opponents.įirst off, I’ll just mention the basic controls, which you likely already know: While skating looks pretty straight forward far as just moving your player around goes, it is definitely a much more complex system than it seems.

I will update this within a week or two of the official release with any changes that I notice. Disclaimer: Screenshots are from NHL 16 and information is based off of NHL 17 beta.
