Community ManagerYou need to choose a forehand or backhand grip with the right stick before the puck is dropped.
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 🫤

If you're not using to winning them with the right stick, it'll take some getting used to. I never use the Hybrid controls though and the tutorial I mentioned is using either Skill Stick or Total Controls so possibly you want to seek advice from others using Hybrid.
