Thank you so much for this man seriously. My record was 50-30 stuck in div 6 for the longest time. Now I’m 80-38.....this has made me a way better player. Again thanks man

Nice, glad to see some other folks out there looking into these things. Also, one thing you should all know is that you can go into the tuner settings and get your Coach to make strategy adjustments more frequent for you. This 'can' help you play with the right type of force and strategy depending on a few different variables like how much time, the score, and what type of pressure your opponent is piling on. But you really have to be paying attention or you'll make a massive mistake. The last thing is this, you should be trying to read the offensive playstyle and defensive playstyle and adjusting countermeasures. But more importantly, you don't want to make the change and forget that the AI might adjust to your counter. There is a little back and forth with these settings during the game usually. You just need to be on top of it and keep positioning well.

After switching to these strategies I just destroyed Superstar AI in a squad battle 7-0. Some of it might have had to do with the fact that I also added Johnny Hockey to my team who had 4 goals, 3 of the on the PP, but I'm going to give most of the credit to Brianstormed and these strats. Thanks, bro!!

NoSleeves made a strategy video yesterday and I disagreed with half of it. Mine is almost identical to yours which I believe is the way to go

I just switched to this strategy for franchise mode and let’s just say it’s made the AI really work more and I’m defiantly winning more games Thanks

First of all... thank you very much! It's nice to see that there are some guys out there who share their skills and experience I buyed NHL20 because some of my friend's told me that it's a nice game and i thought why not. My last NHL was the 1998 titel on PS1. I was overwhelmed off all new options by NHL20 in the first place (no suprise at all). Your videos helped me a lot to get better without much try and error experience! Thank you again Sir and keep up the good work. Greets from Switzerland :D

Great video, its a constant reminder not to set your strategies and not do it again until NHL 21. You should constantly be making adjustments as you get different players, encounter different styles (i.e. if you know you're playing CS you should adjust a bit maybe). Great content!

Could you make a video on CPU strategies for World of Chel? I feel that a ton of people would love to see this video

Thanks bro, first time using the strategy won 9-1.

So I'm confused about one thing. Why aren't you sitting on an NHL bench for some team? Incredible video. Can't wait to try these out.

Haven't lost any games before I tested this 😱 I was really lost at offensive zone as i'm get used to play bit different style.. I need to adjust or modify this bit as defense worked liked like a charm

I haven't used them yet but I know they're gonna help. Can't understand why some of my guys are doing weird shit but you basically explained it. Great job, man. Also, I love how you don't care if I like or subscribe. KZfaqrs beg too much. Haha. 👍

I was currently using your strats from last year and now I just updated them with these, keep up the good work

I love turning to a 3 2 at times thru the game with the exact set up here. I will do blue to blue depending if he's on that, and I will keep winger wide depending on him also.

Great vid. Lost a heartbreaker to an 80 OVR (All-Star) Squad Battle Game last night, 3-2. So much sustained pressure from them. Hopefully I can beat them with these strats.

“And that turned into a victory using my strategies, so that’s my take on why you should use my strategies, so now let’s get into my strategies.” Good vid tho

Been trying g to get back into NHL. This channel is a godsend

This is pretty legit other than having the energy bar up to 10. If you are a behind the net kinda guy that might work but if you want to our score your opponent, you have to conserve energy and not be without it all period once your players are worn out.

Okay so basically, here are a few tips from me if you want to have good rush offense and good offensive scoring chances. Though I am not someone who plays online. 1. Do not take your attention off of your opponent's defensive pressure (I will explain why in a moment) 2. When on the rush, if your opponent sends several men after the puck carrier as he begins to cross the opposing blue line... if you dump to the opposite corner of the rink... you should have the advantage in getting the puck because normally your weak-side forward should be hustling. Then the other players rushing in can act as one timers and become viable options in front of the net because not everyone is in position yet. But you can also pass down the boards to your d-men and others. 3. When you've got the offensive zone established: Keep your eye mainly on the opposition, what kind of pressure are they putting on both the puck carrier and your passing options. If they're just sitting in the crease\slot then you do not have to move the puck around. In which case, the lack of pressure allows you to get shots from the point, use this. However, if they are putting between minimal and high pressure, your goal is to move the puck along the boards and keep pushing that puck around so that you drag the defense out of position to chase. *If you begin to notice several defensive players moving towards the puck carrier or they begin waiting near your other passing options... that is typically your best chance to make a b-line to the slot. Especially if it is your point man who has the puck... if the opponent is putting on high pressure and you manage to draw the forward player that is supposed to be covering your point man, you should have an uncontested lane towards the slot with your point man. Or if they are putting high pressure to cut off your point man from receiving a pass then he has pretty much opened up a hole for another forward player to move in to the slot* 4. *Overload* is really good with the first forward line up if they are players who have great deking and passing skills, and if your opponent plays high pressure against them you have a tendency to exploit that, but if your opponent plays really positional against Overload, you should have an easier time shooting from different angles around the slot. *Behind the net* is really good if your players are not the best at passing and deking, and it is good if the opponent likes to play high pressure defense and chase. The idea here is to dump the puck down the boards to the back of the net, allowing sort of a motion of move and pass along the boards. The goal here is to just like before, draw defenders out of position and exploit that to open up areas to move into the slot\crease or get onetimers. *Crash the net* is really good if your opponent's like sitting in the slot\crease, and in this particular case you should have 3 men up high near the blue line cycling the puck and shooting from the point. You should be looking for deflections, screened goals and rebounds depending on where you shoot from. Final notes... if you have the lead and you're in the last period of the game. The opponent team should begin to start taking more risks positionally and defensively, usually this stuff can be exploited in the break out ush and offensive zone and when trying to forecheck. People sometimes confuse this for 'ice tilt' but that is an entirely different thing all together.

In my experience i can't run passive forechecks. Good players will never turn it over on a passive forecheck

Sleeves got me creamed on here before I seen this I went back to ur nhl19 strategy and won 3-4 last night just seen this so going in for some wins now ur videos are the best on here for this game thanks again

Used this strategy and killed some kid 7-1 and made him leave lol

Your strategies are the same as mine except the cycle/shoot for the defensive strategies but great video. Thanks for the explanations on some of these!

Thanks man these strategies are crazy

how do i get my team cpu to get open for a shot. like if im behind the net my cpu just stands around and doesnt move. my team is never where i want them to be on breakaways.

two questions about this: 1) Is there a way to set these strategies as default for online play (and all games in general) so that I don't have to spend 2-3 minutes each time setting them? 2) is there a way to stop the AI coach from changing these strategies around during the game when I don't need them switched?

i use the same strategy it great system for every type of players

1:05 he is from my town.

Passive Forecheck never thought of that i use Vegas

Heavy top line on my expansion team but defensive depth is lacking so hoping this makes them perform a little better.

Played this strategy last night and went 3-0 in my 3 games I played. 3-0 disconnect, and two 2-1 games and the skill stick defence strategy creates no opportunities for your opponent

thanks you so much for this! What's your passing assistant percentage? Keep up the good work!

More great advice, thanks Brianstormed

Subscribbled! Love your videos! Keep em coming.

I've struggled the past two season on how to knock a guy off the puck back checking or when they are free skating. My guys seem to just get close and do nothing. I've tried to use a combo of a bunch of different buttons. Other players seem to just skate up to me and push me off the puck. Can you please help with this much appreciated

Played 11-7 first my first game with this strategy

I almost use the same strats

Love u for this vid!!

Unreal, just tried these and lost 2 games straight. Giving up predetermined goals like crazy 🤬

Efficiency/Energy was all the way in the opposite direction in 19. Was there really such a drastic change or would you have argued for the opposite setting towards the end of 20 as well, when endurance was generally higher? Thanks for the great videos!

What are you thoughts on synergies this year? Do they really help?

Have you tried 1-2-2 aggressive? Seems like that would work good for what you're aiming to do. And you have the slider for energy/efficiency set to energy not efficiency...

Was using your strategies from last year.. till today 😈

Impart your knowledge on me, Brian senpai.

I'm really struggling in the faceoff circle this year it's horrendous... even have issues against the cpu on pro, any advice for that ?

Thanks for the insight. Just curious, if you are down by 1 or 2 goals in the 3rd will you start an very aggressive forecheck with ur D pinching and a full attack? I'd o find it helps me outa bit but I obviously get caught deep in the offensive zone when the other team finally breaks out.

This helped sooooooo much!

Is there a way to save these settings? Or do i have to change them everytime I log on

Can you show some gameplay of this strategy

I need some help, I am beginning to dominate online versus. How do I play in the leagues that are shown in your videos? With all time classic players? Is that under rivals?

that behind the back, through the legs pass that Nuge made on you....L2 button involved in that?

you got a twitter account? never heard of you until recently but im picking up what you're putting down ... and definitely want to improve at HUT, ive always been an EASHL guy but ive gotten really picky as ive gotten older and i dont play unless i trust my teammates, so HUT/SB has been my main thang since 20 came out. keep up the good work... and ive played gren once or twice and when i saw him on tv a little part of me died seeing the face of the kid who spanked me.. lol...

LOL IT'S PAT LAFONTAINE @0:55

Hey mate, quick question to do with Energy/Efficiency slider. I understand having them all set to 10/10 is great for a full depth HUT team, but when it comes to versus, I found last year setting my top 2 lines to about 5/10 and bottom 2 at 10/10 let me keep my better players on the ice 75% of the time. I had great success in local tourbament. Do you think this tradeoff is worth it or would I be better off giving the lesser skilled players more TOI ?

Whats strategy would you sugest/recommand for the Dman ai on 3 vs 3 ? Ty for reading me

Thanks homie❤️

Can you please make a video on how to defend cross crease goals?! I tried everything....

Good info bud ty

Solid video, my guy 🤙🏾

Thanks for this video! Very informative. I do have a ? Though. I’ve watched a bunch of your gameplay on nhl 20 and even though you said what you said for offensive strat. I rarely see you behind the net. Is it not essential to the strategies for it to work?

Thanks so much I’m playing much better

Thanks man ;D

Dumb question - do you have to reset the settings every game or will the system recognize your preferences and save them?

Idk i feel like contain puck makes the a.i. kinda float around and get confused. I've never had success with it. I actually matched up with yung gren and beat him using collapsing and high pressure.

I’m confused at how the AI uses some of these settings, since the settings control specific, “puck carrier” movements. When I play my AI would never carry the puck in or shoot because I would be carrying the puck. Perhaps I’ve missed an important part of the game. Is there a way where I can control players who don’t have the puck while my AI has the puck?

How do you change strategies on the fly either mid game or after whistles on ps4? The advanced strategies not the basic line ones. Thinking like if you need to go from 1-2-2 passive to 2-3.

Best strategy is move to Finland, no need skill.

What strategy would make two ai player come to the puck carrier? I did this and the pressure but it doesnt seem like the pressure as much as my opponent amd it seems like they dont do nesrly as much on offense.

Thank you

Does still apply for online versus play, or is this only for playing against the computer?

Yo Brian I started using ur strats. But my first 2 lines go less then half energy in less then 5 mins of the first period??

What do you put your pass assist at I’m having trouble connecting on passes and going to the player I want it too

The fastest click in the west

I started using your strategies but I’m finding my players running out of energy really quickly even with my 88s+. Any ideas? I even turned energy down to 3/4

When you say "ai" do you mean CPU?? If so, the cpu ALWAYS trys to breakaway on me!! Even with 1-4 they STILL always get in. How do I stop them??

On what controllersettings are you playing? Skillstick?

Does this work for draft champions?

thank you =]

Will these strategies work in just a simple standard VS game?

I still can't figure out my quick breakout

How about strategies for EASHL DEFENSE

This strategy is really bad, none of your players ever play defence and they just leave the defensive zone as soon as your defenceman picks up the puck

Do you still use off hand players on wings and on D Brian???

Do you use saucer passes much? If so when?

tip #1: peel back plastic from game cover and throw directly in dumpster tip #2: light dumpster on fire tip #3: don't buy EA Sports games ever again. Problem Solved!

Tell me please i dont know whether its from your video or no but is it any good to play 1-2-2 aggressive and 1 2 2 blue line full forcheck as well ? Or this one is better one

Is draft Champions worth the time and effort?

What tactick you use online versus?

bad startegy... didnt change the AI in any sort of way idk what is that bs with NHL 2020

Wanna play a series against me I want to practice against a top player

Good video, but i'm looking for something to improve AI in Be a Pro, they are so idiot!

I like your videos, but it bothers me that you pronounce the word Strategy as "Shtrategies"

Thats absolutily nothing for me.... No speed if you go to attack, its static and slow......

Will these work with NHL 19?

Just wondering if you had a reply to my earlier comment thank you

Im not copying these strats you are

The AI in this game are so bad, they Just Stand there and look at us

t. hanks

These strategies are fine until you play kids that rag the puck and sit behind their net and your AI won't chase them and you get an automatic loss.. stupid

The ai in this game is so fucking sad. I don’t understand how you release this game with this bad of ais
