The D-men that I've played with this GAF crew plays their position well. Not everyone thinks they are Dan Boyle, but when the D takes it to the net we'll usually communicate for the Wingers to drop back at the blue line.

HOW TO WIN FACEOFFS LIKE THE VISUALIZER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRIPS
-the backhand grip one works a lot better against CPU's
-the forehand grip "scoop" works better against humans unless they have a way better faceoff rating
NOTE: your chances of winning the faceoff increase a lot depending on how early you "declare" a grip. As soon as you possibly can you want to set your grip, forehand or backhand, this may give you the slight advantage you need to win if you and your opponent's faceoff ratings are similar and both of you use the correct timings.
NOTE: the forehand grip "scoop" in the defensive zone if done with even average timing pretty much prevents a human opponent from doing the faceoff deke successfully
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMING
NOTE: remember you can aim your faceoff wins. This is especially important in the offensive zone. Don't flick the RS down to win, flick it diagonally down towards which defensemen you want the puck to go to.
-Use the backhand grip to get a puck back to the defenseman standing behind you on your forehand side
-Use the forehand scoop to get a puck back to the defenseman standing behind you on your backhand side
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIMINGS
-you also have to get the timings right, I break it down into 3 possibilities:
1) Early - this is the earliest you can possibly to win the draw, basically you are flicking the RS when the ref moves his hand to drop the puck.
2) Medium - flick the stick right before the puck hits the ice
3) Late - flick the stick after the puck hits the ice
The normal correct timings for each zone are:
Offensive Zone: Early
Center Ice: Late
Defensive Zone: Medium
NOTE: The timings all depend on the network connection, lag and host advantage. I usually start the game trying the regular timings. If they don't seem to be working I'll adjust all of them up or down a notch and try another timing, for example
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR TIMING
NORMAL TIMING
Offensive Zone: Early
Center Ice: Late
Defensive Zone: Medium
-I'll usually try to go one step faster in all 3 zones if the normal timings don't work so I'll try:
FASTER TIMING
Offensive Zone: Early (you can't get any faster)
Center Ice: Medium
Defensive Zone: Early
-if that doesn't work then you go a notch slower on all:
SLOWER TIMING
Offensive Zone: Medium
Center Ice: Late (can't get any slower)
Defensive Zone: Late
NOTE: generally one of the 3 will work, usually the NORMAL or FASTER timings. Once you figure it out you can dominate faceoffs for the rest of the game as long as you remember to focus on which timing is correct on every faceoff
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COUNTERS
-If you can't get the timing or your human opponent has too great an advantage with his faceoff attribute rating you have to rely on the counters (forehand stick lift, backhand stick lift, tieup). You have to check your opponent's grip before trying one though.
-If they use the forehand grip, the tie-up pretty much wont work at all. The forehand stick lift works best followed by the backhand stick lift
-If they use the backhand grip, the forehand stick lift doesn't work. The tie-up works best followed by the backhand stick lift.

ugh.
I'm pretty sure you've pulled that off a few times.
I've noticed that when the opposing team is on a Penalty Kill, they seem to have a higher percentage of faceoff wins.
I'll backhand scoop a lot in Center ice or near the defensive blue line neutral zone. Then I'll tend to do the faceoff deke near the offensive blue line neutral zone.
Forehand scoop seems to take too long to execute and i'll only do that in the offensive zone. I can't figure out how to do the faceoff win where you put your back into the other player and make the pass to the defenseman, but that seems to create a lot of space for that second pass.

is laserbot (snakeswithlasers) coming back for nhl 12??? i know he was my best man at my wedding but i guess we hardly talk anymore.
This sounds fun. I just got into hockey this last post-season after pressure from a friend, but after it was all over I wanted more so I picked up NHL 10 on the cheap. I've been screwing around on that getting the basics down. I suck at scoring so I've been focusing more on defense, and that's been fun so far.
I wouldn't mind joining up to fill any gaps after the initial rush of launch week, while getting familiar in the unranked online games.

He said he preordered the game already so I guess that means he is.Hardyboy1224 said:
