that's not the best advice for all situations...
if you back off and play the pass too much if they are experienced cheesers they will just fire a wrist shot over the goalie's shoulders even from bad angles and and it goes in 90% of the time
you have to kind go towards them enough to make them think their wrist shot isn't the best option. Then you can back off a bit into the passing lane.
My method is I like crowding them and bothering them with the poke check early then kind of timing it to block their pass right as it leaves their stick.

Are there any good videos for deking? I still can't do them.

all you really need to know is there are 5 starting positions to hold you stick
1) neutral
2) backhand
3) forehand
4) forehand curled
5) backhand one handed
once you are holding your stick at any one of these positions using the RS, press and hold LB then flick the right stick in any direction (left, right, up or down)
that does about 95% of them
you don't even need to try the other 5% ever if you need to ask for a video on how to deke at this point...

I know you deke a lot but do others? It feels like it never works out in my favor. They just seem so worthless usually.

I almost fail every 1 on 1 dekes with the LB button. I find the best time to do it is when you're on the rush and do it at the Blue Line when you see a Defenseman trying to go for the hit or poke check. It seems to force an animation lock up on the Defenseman. I've never seen the hop-flip deke work in any situation. I'll sometimes use the Bure twinkle toes deke in shootouts.
I have more success doing the toe drag deke to the inside with just the RS. Viz style of deke is entirely on a different level and for show only

you gotta recognize when to use each of them, start out working with the neutral grip deke to your backhand, you can use that to get you around people when they come to body check you hard especially when entering the O zone.
its all experience and experimenting to find good places to use them, the timing is so tough tho, and this year I seem to get some button lag when i do them most times where it takes an extra second for the deke to start which usually gets me annihilated
btw me noz and swim just saw some new EA garbage. We had a game go to OT, there was a scramble in front of our net and our goalie covered the puck completely for about 2 secs waiting for a freeze then one of their guys does a diving poke check and knocks the puck loose somehow and it goes in the net for a loss... sad stuff

Do you just mean, "moving the right stick to your backhand"? Just curious, because I have a tough time getting out of those situations where I'm about to get wrecked.TheVisualizer said:

just hold LB then flick the RS towards your backhand
its one of the 4 quick dekes they added last year, your guy will do a quick hop to his backhand side which can get around around people trying to bodycheck or hipcheck and it's simple to do
theres a more pronounced version too, you gotta be holding the puck out towards your forehand then hold LB and flick the stick to your backhand. That one is more risk reward, it makes you jump further to the side but it's not always easy to get the puck back as it might go off in a random direction
edit: I'll be back on in about an hour

I was thinking of maybe hopping online in a little bit if anyone else was going to play.
