How do I win a faceoff in nhl 14?

I seem to be missing something fundamental here. I dont have the greatest connection online but its decent enough. I have a 15% faceoff percentage and its absolutely maddening. I want to pull my hair out. 15% faceoff is atrocious. I try pressing various combination of direction on the two thumb sticks. Is there anything I am missing? Is there a trick? My internet connection is no excuse for 15% faceoffs though 40 games.....

    OK, so my center is 6 foot 3, 225lbs. Maxed out on faceoffs, nearly maxed out on strength, maxed out on hand/eye and can not BUY a faceoff even after trying everything I've read on here, online and seen on YouTube. I've tried watching the ref's arm, his head, the puck...nothing is working. I shouldn't be losing faceoffs bya score of, literally, 25 to 2 to someone rated lower than I am. Could this be some sort of calibration issue between large screen TVs and the play station? And if so, what can I do about it? I mean really, 25 to TWO lol

    I picked up the game to play the Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) portion of the game and I have the exact same problem.  Actually more problems than just this 🙂  On Rookie I win almost all faceoffs but bump it up one to Pro and I think I've won one faceoff and I'm 15-5-1.  The difference from Rookie to Pro is unreal.  Even puckhandling.  If I get near an opponent on Pro, they steal the puck instantly but yet I can't do it to them or get called for tripping.
