Faceoffs

Hi there, @iason26 

Faceoffs haven't changed in many years. You can find out why you're having trouble with them by turning on the on-ice trainer. 

Are you saying absolutely nothing has changed with faceoffs?  The old chart that was floating around is still valid? 

Can you post an updated chart?

So for example with backhand tie up vs backhand back?  Shouldn't the tie up win?  Its not in NHL 24 or is very low percentage.  

All I'm asking if its changed at all let us know. .

Please clarify and its not my timing as many other centers have noticed this.

Thank you!

I'm playing with hybrid controls and this year faceoffs are just a nightmare for me

I just got the game yesterday and have taken over 100 faceoffs and not won one!!! Even the blind squirrel gets it right once in while. I even tried adjusting the faceoff slider. Nothing! The slider is set at one and I still can't win one. Furthermore I've notice that my saved sliders are reverting to default settings after I've started a game. I was told to check the sliders before the start of a game. I did and had to fix it before starting the game. Then after the game started I checked the faceoff slider again and it was back at 50 not 1. Such a pity. I really like the game play with the sliders I found over at Operation Sports. The only draw back is the faceoff issue. But this is a big issue when you're losing all 25 to 30 faceoffs per game. And I doubt Electronic Arts will fix this. My lesson has been learned. No need to play NHL 24 anymore or purchase this series again.

I mean whenever I’ve played online this year I’ve had difficulty winning faceoffs. It feels more difficult this year even on offline too but that’s just my opinion

Have you tried turning on the on-ice trainer? This will tell you why you're losing faceoffs.
