Community ManagerPressing down the right stick will body check if you are using the Skill Stick control scheme. If you are using the Hybrid control scheme then the Y button should be used.
Hi Barry,
Thank you for your quick reply. I do use the Skill Stick control scheme. When I try to body check an opposing player, they back up. Do I need to select the player to body check with the right trigger? I know the player is moved using the left stick, but when I move my player toward an opposing player with the left stick they move away before I can use the right stick to body check them. Is there something else I need to know and/or do to effectively check.
Please advise as any additional tips would be appreciated.

Sorry for not being clearer, you need to press the stick down like a button, not pull it back towards yourself.
Hi Ea-Barry,
Thanks again for your quick reply. I did read to body check you should direct the right button toward the opposing player when you get close to him using the left button. So are you saying I need to push down on the right button? I'm sure it's easy to do, but I have been flaying around like a dummy trying to finish my check.
I appreciate all of your help.

With the skill stick control scheme and left stick hitting (available in settings) turned on, skating into the player with the left stick should do it. With left stick hitting off, skate into the player and press up on the right stick when you make contact.
