How to defend and play against this top player????

Filterkungen

So here is a video where I play a guy that is 29 in the world at the time. I won with a huge amount of luck in OT but how would you play against his style of play?

Especially look 3:00 into the video, how does he not get a penalty on my breakaway.
Is he the king of exploits?

I couldnt get hold of the puck, he constantly deked, wiggled and moved the puck behind is back. I tried pokecheck, sticklift tackles and nothing helped it was ridicolous.

And as soon as I got the puck I felt like he was all over me and got the puck so easy.
I got some really good chances but he was really dominationg the entire game. So how to play defense against this and how to get the puck from him?

Appreciate all kind of tips and tricks to further enhance my game.

This is how "top" players play. Puck protect and skill stick exploits offensive players agility so they can turn and shimmy better than a defender can every dream. Basically don't chase. Poke check and play the body when you can otherwise you will keep missing hits and land out of position. These guys feed on your mistakes. Try to not make as many.

Best advice I can give you.

What i have noticed is, that top 100 players always switch away from there nearst defender when I am entering there zone. The ai takes over and the can check you even if you protect the puck. Probably that's the way to play defense against this guys as well. Even if I don't like to let my ai play defense.

Yeah i dont like to play skillzone defense or trap, but here I had to learn to use the AI in the right way but it felt like his AI was on top of me and mine more often out of position when switching players. It´s a really boring way to play, I personally dont think that is anyway near a hockeygame. I tried to pokecheck the living hell out of him like a mad man but there were so many times it hat no effect at all.

I love how he hits Y too which should be an instant penalty... Saves himself from a 2 on 0

Yeah exactly, that is a major glitch and a **** move.
Something ea must fix, would be a easy goal otherwise.

That's been in the game for years now and nobody over there seems to care.

Woah! That's cool as hell! Gotta start using that. Great tip guys

Very tactical and clever playstyle. Thumbs up for this guy. Not many people play this good defense.

I think if the ref calls a 2, it's ok. Not hard to implement, then.

The most alarming thing for me is the guy that dominated every aspect of this game lost and missed the net from obvious scoring positions roughly 20x.

That makes sense an exploit that misses the net is very useful. I watched the video completely BOTH guys played cheesy... The guy that dominated every aspect of the game lost. Thats the main talking point that I get from it.
