It is impossible to win a single face off in NHL24.
I have the difficulty settings for face off on the easiest, but I don't win a single face off. This is to difficult.
You have to fix this, or there is no point in playing NHL24 anymore.
Community ManagerI don't have any details on why the controls were changed.
How come you changed the controls
Community ManagerI'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?
Rock paper scissors? How about not changing it at all. I bought the game and deleted it the same day because it infuriated me that EA has this mindset of "What WE want, not what the fans want." It was fine the way it was. Now go back to EA and tell them to fix it. Also, fox the goalies while you're at it. Tired of this chain link fence BB for a puck mechanics. Every shot the computer makes goes in. That's not hockey, that's pure laziness on the part of the horrible developers of this game. Uninstalled it and haven't played it since. No wonder it's free this month for Playstation. You can't sell this game unless you gave it out as free.
Yeah I'm done with nhl 24 and any future nhl games, it has killed my want to play the game I been playing nhl games since I had my first Sega and now nothing it trash, lets make everything stick driven and get rid of hybrid controls, let's change how to do a face off and give no tutorial, let's continue to ignore fans wanting to keep the same player for be a pro, and not make it a continuous growth. But make you start all over from the beginning every year, I don't care that the rookie is playing pond hockey, get some new material, leave the controls alone. The stick control for face offs is stupid and youtube is your answer how about no. HOW ABOUT LEAVING CLASSIC CONTROLS SETTINGS IN THE GAME. Ea done killed it for just like Madden and need for speed. Why do I keep falling into the oh it should be better but ea makes it more difficult to play, but hey the graphics are OK
Community ManagerIt didn't change. Unless you use Hybrid controls since you have to use the right stick now.
The system was fine for what it was. There was no need to change it.
Community ManagerThere are numerous tutorials on YouTube that explain how to win faceoffs. Basically, it's a rock-scissors-paper type mini-game where you need to choose the right counter to your opponent. For example, if you see them use the forehand grip, use the stick lift. If they are tying you up, win the faceoff straight back. If they choose the backhand grip, tying them up will counter it. However, ratings and timing are also factored in.
