Some of the sliders seem like they would be helpful if you cramked them up when in reality if you read the description thoroughly, it says at the end (usually in parenthesis) what affect it will have at maximum and/or minimum. I seriously thought i was making the game easier, and I was doing the opposite. For example there is one for dekes and the way it's labeled, most people would assume you turn it up and you have better dekes and puck control but the higher the value the more likely it is you will lose the puck while attempting a deke.
To hold on to the puck better work on your forehand and backhand glides, it is much more difficult to hit someone if you are holding the puck away from them while coasting, then toe drag to juke over quickly, and your on a breakaway, lol.bCrank up your balance stat, that is what keeps you from stumbling or getting knocked off the puck. Also The zone ability unstoppable force is very helpful.
