Hybrid face-off
Not sure if it's just me or what, but I have yet to win any face-offs using hybrid controls after playing about 10 games with different teams. I know when I played NHL 23 I had a way better chance of...

Oh geez, sorry I feel stupid I'm not sure what you mean by grips and counters. I just know I use to just press the (X) or maybe it was the 🕒 button on the PlayStation controller and would win the faceoff depending on my timing of hitting the button when playing NHL 23

Oh ok, I thought i might have I heard that using the right stick is the way to win face-offs and I tried that but still had no luck. So is it left then right with the stick when the puck is dropped or right then left? So I assuming buttons have been removed when doing a faceoff then huh? Thanks by the way for the quick replies 😉👍

It's really not just choosing left or right. You choose either forehand or backhand. This can change depending on the handedness of the player. It's generally a good idea to choose the opposite grip than your opponent. If they are using forehand, you should use backhand. You need to select a grip and then use the right counter. For example, if they go forehand, you should go backhand and use the stick lift. If they are always doing the tie up, you should choose either forehand or backhand and win it straight back. There are several options. This tutorial may help.
Wow that is really confusing and hard and sadly the video didn't help either. Just tried and of course no luck. I'm gonna have to settle not running any face-offs. Reading the comments on the video seems as though I'm not the only one that can't pull off winning a face-off. Thanks allot for the help though 🫤
