cpu taking penalties is probably my biggest issue rn. Like who decided to make that happen at ea?

Whatever you get paid, it's well deserved. Unlike a lot of streamers that literally play games for a living, you are putting in serious time and giving fantastic insight to people that are struggling or good players that need a tune up. Thank you for all you do. You may not be the best player in the world, but I'd argue that you are the best teacher there is, clear, concise, and you do not miss the details that good players forget. You are a great player and I'm not sure how you empathize with crappy players, not unlike myself. It's good to see real talent, putting in long hours of real work, become successful. Thank you for the service you provide! What really impressed me is how you are interviewing the developers of the game, you were getting into the details. Really working instead of trying to find glitch goals to post. which there’s nothing wrong with that but it’s separates the people that want to make a little bit of money and the professionals who do this for for a living.

Total control was a learning curve for me but honestly the charged up hitting is amazing. It took me a few days to get the timing / angles down but man… it’s getting fun. I’m pretty terrible online (0-0-4 in my play-in games) so I’m not as amped to play online but I’m trying to improve

Anyone else have the computer just skate away from the puck? Happens way too much

Just got into hockey a little bit ago and I am learning the game from scratch. Your videos have been very helpful and insightful. Thank you.

Sleeves I hope you see this cause I gotta say, I’ve been watching you for a few years and every year you get better. This video was extremely comprehensive, detailed, and had great explanations. It had a lot to talk about but each thing was brief yet captured the most important points. This was great and I can’t wait for the next more specific videos

Im not sure a more relevant and important video has been made for 24 so far this year!!! Incredible job

Thanks so much for this. I’ve always just played as a filthy casual who just enjoys scoring with no real thought. So this is super helpful looking forward to the rest. I would love to see strategies you use vs ai or are they the same.

One of the best videos ive seen explaining things. Thank you 💪🏼

I would love to see more advanced videos on implementing strategies please! Videos breaking down how Overload/Crash the Net/Behind the net differ and how to play each and how to best defend against each and what to look for

Fantastic video. Just what I needed. I've been playing since NHL 20...am comfortably in D2, but have been frustrated lately, and this video is awesome at fixing foundational errors. Would love to see a video on how and when to hit, as well as how to use Overload. What I will say, is taking my centreman down the middle and letting the AI do the brunt of the work, I'm going for hits less, but when I do they land. Keep up the great work dude. Love vids like these

I love your informative NHL videos. New to hockey, been playing a lot of NHL 24. Really would love to learn the offenses and defenses more.

Man, this video has aged very well. Ive been really struggling with pretty much all the things you mention these strategies will help avoid, and hallelujah. So far so good. Creeping into Div 2 means ive had to try ouf behind the net more, but i couldnt quite get it going and would revert to my ho tos, which becones predictable. Furst couple games with new strays, and ive had much more success. Banger video my man as always and much much appreciated!

super helpful video, thank you! Would love to see another one on particularily effective methods for scoring on AI. Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks for the info man! Appreciate it!!!

Thank you so much for the video. I have played NHL since the beginning and I still always suck. I really appreciate the content you put out.

That helps sooo much! Thanks again!!

Thanks for the video man! i appreciate it

Really informative bro! Helped me realize what I was doing wrong.

This was great! Thanks!

Great video man. I really think this is gonna help me get into div 2. My strats were all jacked and I never thought to put wingers on opposite sides. 🎉

Nice vid dude cant wait for the advanced part 2!

great video again this year man thank you

gonna try this out. tnx sleeveless

Great Videos as always Sleeves big help thanks

This is great. Thank u!

Dawg this is so helpful lol I can’t wait to get home & online game

This is great! Always can use more videos like this…even though I’ve been watching you for years now…😂😅

Excited for the more advanced. Just subscribed

So useful thank you

this completely helped me. i feel like i have more control over my game. Thanks @Sleeveless Gaming

Thanks again. Great video. Can you help with the HUT collectible moments. There’s a few on Superstar and AllStar that I don’t know how average players are supposed to beat

Great vid bro always good content!

It would be awesome if you could do a strategies video for Squad battles. I’m having more trouble scoring this year with how the AI collapses around the net and body checks super aggressively. I win for the most part, but getting +5 goals and 20 shots isn’t a sure thing for me. Dumping the puck seems to help. But sometimes there’s the same feeling as 23 where the computer is going to get the puck no matter what you do. I can’t quite protect the puck like I used to.

Great video as always 😊

I’ve always done the quick breakout the opposite way. If someone is over aggressive I use leaving zone early for odd man rushes and close support for the trap tends to get the opponent(not always) to get more aggressive and opens space. I haven’t bought 24 yet because of total control but maybe I need to give it a shot.

Very good explaining

I just want an option to favour shooting a loose puck in the o zone, rather than hit stick a close player with a loose puck nearby. Why isn't this in the settings yet

How do you control where you’re shots are aimed? Is it just with the sticks? Or is there a specific button to hold while shooting?

Thx for this it help me alot. Do u have some settings about the ai. My teamates take to much pentaly

the first video I never watched of yours was strats back in nhl 18, with piss missiles and the such.

Thanks man I just got this game for Christmas

good video, thank you

Please make more strategy videos they’re very helpful

Thank you!

I tried all these settings and found a huge boost in gameplay in SB. When I went to play rush and played another person, the gameplay and style goes all over the place crazy, and there is no method to the madness. Any recommendations on how to prep for the run all over the place style these quick 4 minute games last?

This helps big time.. please more… MORE!!

Well me playing I’ve always just randomly done these but I’m definitely changing my Strategy stuff

Two things I’m having problems with in the game. First in squad battles I get slashing or tripping penalties on players I’m not even controlling. Second you have said shoot far corner. I shoot but is there a way to aim exactly at high or low with the new controls?

I actually really like the 2-3 forecheck - but you have to manually control the strong-side D to deny the easy breakout up the boards, and leave the F1 and F2 to the AI to create chaos. It's probably not as effective against better opponents who know to reverse the puck behind the net, but against your average/below average opponents, they aren't going to know what to do under pressure with their strong side winger unavailable on the breakout. They're only ever looking/moving forward, and passing behind them/their own net is rarely something they consider.

I have just changed all this up hope it helps I find I can move the puck and everything else but in the offence zone not a lot of points

So my last complaint was in 23 could adjust strategies in FM. Well noticed when I’ve adjust them in the line up screen. It actually changed the strategies in 24

I’m confused When is the last day to complete all hut rush rewards? Will the last day reset rewards or only objectives?

Wait, so i have my Cale makar on the right, can i switch him to the left?

I think the energy affects their acceleration. I tried your 5 spot but lost 2 in a row so I put it on 7 and won. I can see the hustle kick in faster. Have you tried it on 7?

Any chance you know if couch co-op online is ranked again? (Not HUT, normal online)

Is there a way to switch from close Support to leave zone early during game?

Really need some advice on power play set up. Feel a bit lost right now.

is there a way to cancel the big hit windup? Like cancelling a pass

I havnt played much online as I'm building my team offline. 1st game after trying out these settings 5-0... Coincidence? NO!!! great tips. TY

So far strats are keeping me in games I have no business being in lol ty for sharing boss went 3-2 to be in rank 3 about to get slaughtered lol 🤣

Can you make a video showing how to change strategies on the fly or how to adapt to a players strategies? I’m having problems reading the play.

I’m a new player to NHL. Should I use total control or hybrid? I played NHL back in the day and I remember shooting with square. But everyone seems to use total control. Which one do most people use?

More videos on defending, specifically which player you should take control of in different scenarios

Can you please post a video on most realistic game play slider settings and how to keep them saved from reseting everytime thanx

I'm new to NHL. I'm getting allot more goals after just 5 days. Day 1 I couldn't score for Sh**. I don't mind total control but know no difference. Good tips. I'm lost with allot of it. I got NHl24 to up my knowledge of the sport in general.

I don’t like leaving pass assistance to 100 because sometimes the pass locks down to a player I didn’t want to pass to, this often happens if two players are lined very close to each others.

Thks for the info bro…

Sleeves .. are you gonna do a video showing all total control and how to use it?

Anyone know how to make it harder to gain the offensive zone vs the cpu. What sliders would work? Where I would have to dump and chase once in a while?

need more!

Sleeves, by far, my biggest downfall, is winning draws. If I could improve to even a 50/50 rate, I would be golden. What can you provide for advice when it comes to the faceoff circle? If I am losing 70 percent of my faceoffs, what am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance! Love the video.

Completely off topic. But anyone have a tutorial or ideas on how to frame jerseys like he has to his right? I am trying to frame some NFL jerseys in 16x16 shadow boxes and they never come out looking as clean as his are.

Anyone have any advice to make your CPU go for loose pucks? I swear I’ve tried EVERYTHING and they quite literally run away from the puck at times

Strategies have always been my weakest point in these team sports simulator games. Like, I can only control one player at a time; how do I get my teammates to back me up?

I always thought these settings were just for show, now I actually have to apply my hockey brain and read the defense and offense.

Is it worth buying your favorite s factors

Let's go!

I find shooting and holing pass button helps tipping

This is j a lil better than coaching suggestions 😂😂

How to enable shift simulation? Because it’s not very good to wait all the time

Which are good vs. AI? I play a lot of squad battles

not related to hut, but you were talking about AI so it got me thinking. Our AI in EASHL had 6 penalties in a 6v6 game. They are guaranteed for 2 or 3 a game

How do i defend in squad battles im losin every game because i cant defend them

I like total control but I can’t be the only one that hates changing lines on the fly. It’s practically impossible. You have to let go of the trigger so completely stop skating for a second or two in order to get your thumb on the dpad to change lines.

Anyone else having issues changes offense linens in total controls inbetween face offs? Can change d lines no prob but for some reason changing offensive lines it works when it wants to.

Man I gotta say that I played nearly every sports game but NHL is by far the most frustrating to play, like I legit can't score or defend on this game, the controls are also so counter-intuitive that I have to focus super hard to even click the right buttons

Also on defense it’s good to have lefties on right and righties on left side but on offense I disagree. I feel like it’s way easier to score cross crease when there is a right handed shooter on the right side and vise versa. I feel like I’d advise the opposite of what he says for a lot of these settings.

How do you change strategies on the fly during the game ?

My biggest weakness is that I do not play hockey IRL nor do I have any real concept of the offensive strategies. I don't know who should have the puck and who should literally be the point. I just play the game and hope for the best or a shoot out after the ot. I don't give up goals and play smart patient D. I just can't get going when my players are being checked and stiffled by the D.

I constantly lose the pocket online. It doesn’t even look like they poke check but if they get close enough, my players give up the puck all the time . Also, very slow even my fastest players get caught from behind

I never felt any difference while playing different strategy it always feel the exact same with the bad cpu positioning they dont play differently depending on the strategy setting I use... Its dumb I have time to pick up the puck behind my net dangle 2 guys and the CPU is still backchecking toward our DZone so you can't pass it too them cause they'll need to brake before turning around

Anyone know how to turn off the icon passing showing while you maintain R2?

i ran into the Avs in the first round of the playoffs in season 1 of my franchise. holy god is PC controlled mackinnon unstoppable at times...

Does your player not make interception animations in world of chel either?

They got rid of my single player strat of sitting behind the net till the defender attacks then i quickly wrap around and tuck it far side 😢😢

Can't get an answer...why can't I relist cards I bought on the auction?

I'm new to playing NHL, and I'm getting my ass kicked. I've always played Fifa, so I have understanding of opening formations, and goalkeeper but I'm still getting beat by the keeper. Then after get destroyed on the counter-attack....Do you coach people? I want to get better at this game...

Pass assist on 100% is just bad once you are a skilled player. Passes do not go to intended target when players are close together. I have mine on 80/100 and it feels much better. Still get a bad pass here and there but ultimately I’m way more precise with where I’m putting the puck.

How do you control a low vs. High shot?
