8:54 That was disgusting
That “body in the bayou” line was perfect. Liked immediately after you said that
Really good advice, thanks. I use a Benq competitive monitor it makes a difference. I stopped use my controller wirelessly and it made an improvement.
Thanks to your vids for the first time I completed all my squad battles and the special team on superstar 🔥
Thanks for all the help and videos Brian, you rock!! This is seriously one of the best tips and strategy channels I've ever seen/used for any game. You're doin the lords work bud!!
Thanks dude! I appreciate the feedback!!
You can’t have a good record when you’re internet goes out every 5 minutes
Good video for a refresher, making one think about their play.
You are making me so much better at this game. Thank you!
I've kinda just accepted i'm straight up trash at this game lol It's weird cause you'd think playing 4 years in a row i would improve but nahhh.
Keep going. You are getting better. There is no way you aren't
Yea, practice makes better man. I was garbage at 15 and 16 and last year I almost made Div 1 so I'm hoping this year will be the year I crack it.
I don't think id be able to play the game if i was trash lol that screw with me mentally
Hahaha I was just sayimg I went from real shit to relatively mediocre lol watching the goalie when I shoot rather than my player and my stick has helped.
That's how I felt 3 years ago and just abandoned my season mode and played Be A Pro all the time. Now I finally started playing GM mode and have been trash for a few games but managed to get better as the season unfolded (just now ended a losing streak and it feels good lol) I haven't played online much because my internet sucks unfortunately
Good vid !
I’ll have my Strategy adjustment zero and still my strategies change. I set them and halfway through the game, they’re different. So I gave up and just put strategy adjustment all the way up
If you change them in the game, it will only apply to the line you change it for. And then they’ll reset the next game. If you set them up in the menu before getting an opponent, they should save for your session.
Use lsd immediate 150 percent skill increase 🤯
The God what’s that?
@@MegaPanzer5 acid
The God oh shit you got some?
I second this...
Great video, thank you. Just picking up NHL again for the first time in nearly a decade.... One question for you, or anyone that may know where to point me.... I dont use twitch, I am old lol, who or what channels would you suggest watching to see veteran to top online players play? I would like to glean some advanced info from them before I step out for the first time into online play.... Thank you in advance and thanks again for the video
I like listening to Bruins games on the radio as i play. This week i scored with Pasta at almost the same time as he did IRL
Wow thats awesome! Which one happened first? Maybe you just need to stay with it ;)
Music is the go to when playing competitive. Allows me to “vibe” and feel confident no matter how the game is going. I suggest everyone give it a shot. Put a playlist on shuffle and go to work. No need to chirp your opponent unless after you hand them a tasty rage quitting L hahaha!
I beat no regretzkys by one goal last year but I had no business winning that game lol
Keep up the good work, my guy
Classical music and hockey go well together.
Can u do a strategy video, like in game ones. Also how do u pull a goalie (if u use hybrid) without pausing?
I turn the music completely off but I loooove e sound fx for sure it’s help me focus also your camera settings can determine alooot of how good u are
I wanna know how to counter STUPIDITY?? Lol Good video man looove this game these vids making me a pro promise
Would love to see you do a video about puck control bro
Its coming up!
I'm curious what your honest opinion of this years game is? I feel like it's the same inexplicable inconsistent gameplay that we've had for years,with a few added animations. I could go on about all the problems that I feel make a games outcome not so much skill based as it should be for a competitive game(goalie being in butterfly in perfect position,guy shoots it 5-hole and he inexplicably lifts his leg at the exact moment the puck gets to his pad)
I got here because i am a newbie and the first ranked match i got fired by someone who has 200 hours ingame. The first this guy says is how to beat newbies. Thanks a lot mate
Best video ever.
Just started playing nhl finding the attacking mechanics farely easy, I like poke checking less cheese than being basic and just shoulder charging them any tips that I can use to make defence a bit easier
Ur the man
What forecheck/breakout settings are the best?
I get checked off of the puck SOO easily when entering the offensive zone.... and i cant do the same when my opponent is breaking out. I have good game sense and know how to move the puck well enough but this game has been pretty frustrating so far
Maybe try a dump and chase method. It’ll get the puck past your opponent. And a lot of people struggle picking up the puck and turning it around. Good luck!
I've played actual hockey and roller hockey my whole life I've crushed all other NHL games I've played for any amount of time but I cannot get this NHL 20 down I cant even win offline thanks for the videos im trying to be better
At around 8:30 how do you hold the puck way back like that to shield it? I see you do it when passing too
how do you switch to your goalie like you did when mcdavid scored? thanks
Any idea how to counter people entering the zone skating backwards? You can't poke because penalty and hits don't really bump them off the puck anymore also if they turn forward, you miss.
NoSleeves brought this up last year when the L2 was a real pain in the ass. Best way for me atleast is to keep a distance so they can't spin around you and get between you and your goal (trying to hit and them just bumping around). All of this meanwhile trying to direct them against the boards. They finally need to turn around, or pass.
Anyone have tips for not getting shredded on cross crease passes on a 2-on-1? Is defensive skill stick the best strat?
All I really wanted was to be better playing NHL, not compete online. Now I have to change my tv for a monitor, and buy a pair of headset and listen to lofi hip hop to improve my passing, shot accuracy, deking, breakaway pass, or shot blocking?
WAWOT: what a waste of time, for me at least.
Can you make a video on face off counters
You should make a vid only about face off counters
That is coming up!
I’m not a high level player but I’m not a low level, I’m more in the middle but a problem I have is I will get destroyed one game then the next I’ll beat the next person 7-2. So how can I be more consistent?
Look at how you played in the winning games and try and stick to what you did in that game. Also make sure you're not getting tired as you play.. i seem to start off on a winning streak but if i start getting tired i play a little more sloppy for sure
Also go blues haha big blues fan lets repeat this year!
Change your strategies based off the player you're playing. Counter act their strats and adapt
@@PaPaClutch21 no doubt. LGB! 🎺🎺🎺
How do you counter constant body checking
How do you defend against nerds that only look for cross creases lol I’m staying back and covering the guy but always seems to get open
How do you take away the cross crease one timer consistently? It feels like I’m always in the pass lane but it just gets through easy one-t goal.
Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot else you can do about it. You can pressure the puck carrier or go for a stick lift on the pass receiver but there is quite a bit of risk involved in both plays.
Naturally I'm a God at being bad at NHL 20.....just picked it up last one i played was like 2006.....damn its hard lol
What is the counter to vita vea playing hockey body checking u how do u get up
I'm a top 100 vs player on Xbox but I get really frustrated with the AI D getting lost and not skating. It's really bad this year. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've watched so many replays that just boil down to bad AI.
For defense do you recommend hitting more or poke checking more? Thank you so much!!
Poke checking/defensive skill stick. Hitting can put you out of position
Brianstormed awesome thank you so much!!!
I can't get wide on the rush and I can't go to middle without some video game hit checking my dude to ice and turning over the puck. Whats a good counter for the guys who clog neutral zone preventing me from doing the above.
Look like you are skating into their zone and then turn back, he will chase you and then you can make a pass to someone with momentum to enter the zone
how do i stop the bleeding?
How do I play defense at all? i haven’t played since 13 and it feels almost impossible to break out or hit
How do you counter a person hitting you
Hey Brianstormed, how do you deal with a player who spams stick lift all the time? If there is a video of yours that you discuss this could you please let me know which one it is? Might save me ALOT of grief haha
If thats all they do, you have to try to maintain a small distance between them so that its far enough for a high sticking call. The stick lift is meant to counter puck protection by getting you to let go of the puck, so distancing yourself is key
This guy should have at least 200k
One day my bank account will be that big, one day. Gotta save up a lot first ;)
I’m a beginner and I’m trying to find people to play with any tips
Im a 66 year old new gamer and find NHL2020 frustrating trying to just negotiate thru the differnt rooms...sigh...even to leave is a hassle...not like the early days, in, out, do , go, quit. Easy Peasy EaSports!
Bro in past years me and my friend were terrific in eashl winning many div one titles. Idk what happened but right now we have a negative record in division 8.
well the game has changed
Khal Drogo23 thanks tips
Age. Your reflexes slow down.
chad chrisp I think we just had to figure out the game lol we’re on a 8 game winning streak haha.
Best tip for me is playing against people that are waaaay better than me makes me focus and strategize better
how to counter skill-zone when ur opponet just lets the AI chase u or are just standing in the slot
Blast low shots from the blue line. Your forwards might be able to tip one high.
They fixed the RB push for freezing the A.I.
Thanks! I just learned it and won on superstar for the first time then the next day couldn't win again! So it figures as soon as I got it down it was patched
Sorry I comment as the video goes on but you would think with the technology when making any sports game they use real professional players thoughts for the AI
How do I stop cross creases
Help me win haha I cant score one on ones and how to do u control the puck I just have to pass it cause I get tacked straight away
We always ask who put the body in the bayou. we never ask who IS the body in the bayou :c
I’m good at the game, probably like a “slightly above average” player, but can’t compete with top players. Just played a hut champions game and was up 1-0 after 1 period, then the guy got a random backhand from nowhere with McDavid, then a trickle in off of my defenseman, just like that it’s 2-1 and then he just went off. The game is so frustrating and I’m constantly quitting hut games now because it just pisses me off. Every game it’s something else that’s bs
Forgot that having money to buy packs or having time to work the market. A lot of people lack money and/or time to compete at a high level. You can work the market without spending 100's in packs but it takes soooo much time. People with money and time are always at the top of the boards.
Hey can you do a video /chart that shows the face off counters
Currently have one in the works!
@@Brianstormed nice
How does the oponent in online versus always have faster players and make big hits with no speed or anything... and my AI dont do the same as their AI... basically doesnt do anything and no strategy works... pls help!
Glitch goals are the wrap goals...especially the one where you lt spin behind the net and the goalie doesnt even move
Correct. But think about how many people use the word "glitch goal". They aren't talking about the wraps in division 5 or 6, its just the basic shots that go in more times than not.
@@Brianstormed agreed...played joshfearless twice in the past 2 days and he only did wraps to score...and i mean only wraps
@@Brianstormed for reference i lost to noregretzkys in ot in the 3rd round of gwc last year...he is better than me but he resorts to shortside quite a bit so it wasnt super hard to defend
how do you counter people passing 10 times a second
Block the pass
Go to there house and shoot them
what camera angle is that?
I can score but the defense is so hard for me. Plus my goalie is so unlucky.
What is the monitor you would recommend? Any 144hz will do, or there are some specifics?
I'm not that great with monitor recommendations. You just want one with a small response time. Depending on your budget, the size, brand, and resolution could all play an impact.
Brianstormed thanks! Missed your comment!
I just got myself one gaming screen - it’s an Asus MG248QR 24”
I browsed many reviews and read some blogs, there were similar screens out there as well, still don’t know the code what all those letter mean, but there is an issue - it should be 144hz, but on the Xbox video Settings I am not able to enable Variable Refresh Rate option. Playing the game on 60hz on this monitor is no different than on a TV :(
Were you able to set everything up?
@@Operaatoors you need to hook your monitor up to a pc and the Xbox to the pc
Owen Hall thats very inconvenient, since I don’t own any Windows PC.
Well, I got another Asus monitor, that is meant to be specific for console gaming. Well, I guess, I don’t see too big difference, although - it’s the best experience I had playing the game
I recently went from X Box to Ps4. There's a different feel for ps4. Does anybody have any advice on how I should adjust?
I find ps4 to be a far more sensitive touch on the controller. Hold back from using big motions. It may help.
play a friend who has a really aggressive D and he smokes me with checks constantly. Super difficult to keep possession in his zone. Any tips on this?
I'm no expert on this years title but have you tried changing your strategies on the fly? Use full on neutral zone trap for your own zone and a balanced breakout and you should be able to get skaters around his d men.
Jay Thompson thanks bro. I’ve tried a lot of different things but still not found the key. Never really gone full trap as I ended up giving up too much offense but I’ll give this a spin.
@@chrissteele6382 yeah the idea is to use shorter passes to get up ice. If they try to hit you super aggressive you can try using light R1 saucer passes to streaking forwards to get breakaways and odd man rushes.
I play 3s seasons on world of chel with one of my friends, and almost everytime our defenseman cpu is faced with a defensive 2v1, he’ll do this weird step up animation midway in the d zone where he stops back skating for a second, and the opponents get a free pass across in front of the goalie and a free tap in. Weve tried changing all the cpus settings and nothing seems to help. Obviously we could just play defensive all the time and not let up any 2v1s on our cpu, but then we would lose out on a lot of scoring opportunities. If anyone experiences this same cpu glitch/animation bug and knows how to fix it, please let me know
This happens to me all the time. Have you found a fix?
Logan Thompson nope, ive tried all the different cpu settings and stuff and nothing fixes it
Press b on whistle change from aggressive to passive
What camera view/settings are you using?
Zone is the camera angle
I need some help I cannot hear the commentary at all I can only hear the sfx sounds and the crowd
I just can’t. I suck way too much, I have no confidence and I get angry to the point where I doubt my abilities and literally get depressed.
I just want to know how to get a shot off when a defender is near me. Rather than just lose it of flub it
What camera angle is this?
in your opinion what is the best way t counter the 2 on 1 rush into the zone?
Fake charge at the puck carrier to force an offside but make sure he doesnt get by you
@@Brianstormed interesting, is there any good way to try and block the pass because thats what my friend always goes for
If you charge at him but move in the direction of the passing lane you can intercept it
@@Brianstormed ok good to know thanks for the advice
What visual settings do you use?
I use the Zone camera
Brian what camera angle is this I’ve used overhead for so many years but it kinda sucks this year
zone
And if you change your strategies in game, do they change for future games?
They do not
You have to change your strategies under your team info, those are the starts you'll start off with every game.
Whats your ping when u play?...i think IT is my biggest problem...im from Slovakia and i never go under 40..my internet is good..its the best i Can have ...i usually play with players from. Europe...i dont know where IS problem 🙁
I usually green bar without issues. If I yellow or red bar I quit before the game starts. But yeah, it's probably under 40 most of the time. I can only imagine what you have to deal with playing in Slovakia. I would recommend trying to find other players from Slovakia and form a group that you can play with regularly.
2 things id add
1. Dont be high or drunk when you play
2. A correct amount of caffeine always makes me play better.
I only ever play eashl but when my buddys hop on drunk or even tired it never usually goes to well.
Great video though like i said i never play HUT but these tips can for sure help in EASHL.
Ps you should make a video like this dedicated to EASHL Club.
#1 applies to lightweights
@@Willie-C hey i can handle my own too just saying to help the rookies out there ;)
Haha nice thinking
@Jeff Payne whats ur psn clown
Hey man, what camera angle is this?
zone
What monitor would u recommend?
I'm not that great with monitor recommendations. You just want one with a small response time. Depending on your budget, the size, brand, and resolution could all play an impact.
Brianstormed Thank you
How do you switch to your goalie
LB+A, L1+X depending on console
One rule don't drink too many beers. 😁
What game modes will help me practice and improve the most
I think Best modes to practise are competetives seaosons in HUT and 6v6 eashl.
DannyZedlo thanks bro
Danny provided a solid answer, but it entirely depends on your skill level. If you are new to the game, I'd recommend Versus as the game to practice on. The reason being, you are slowly going to get harder and harder competition. In HUT, there are a lot of variables that come into play such as going up against a better team or not finding a match in your division so it searches outside of your division.
Brianstormed thanks bro, I’ve only played nhl 15,18,19 and 20 so I’m abit behind but I just find it hard keeping the puck in their zone and hard keeping it on a rush
Hey hopefully youll still read this. Im having trouble when opponent is overwhelming with immense pressure...hard forecheck but more importantly insane 1 on 1 and often 2,3 on my 1. Im a good passer so with many can just pass it and it gives me the advantage. BUT, I find myself in games where im getting extreme pressure and all my passing lanes are shut down. My go to is to stay in my zone with defenders and kinda be patient for an opportunity, but then what happens is my d goes somewhere crazy right before i pass and everything just starts falling apart. All my passes then start failing and giving him crazy open drives etc. I just cant figure out what is going on in these games. Sry for writing so much, any help is appreciated
"your dog texting you" ummmmm wut
What controller do you use?
I just use the standard white xbox one controller. I think the next time it breaks I'm going to upgrade to an Elite controller.
What camera angle is the gameplay on?
Zone
What is your camera view?
Zone
My friend keeps passing it across the cress can you help me
Watch his strategies or my personal fav throw ur defense on staggered and rip puck side attack
How does the primetime cards work?
Primetime cards are given out to players who performed well in their real world games, usually because they got many goals or points. When they do so, EA will give them a +2 upgrade for their efforts and that card can be pulled throughout the day (or weekend if its a Friday). Note that this does not replace your base gold card.
Thanks!!
I’ve opened those 30k player packs twice... I’ve pulled a kane, mackinnon and marner between the 2 packs 😂 easy money
Hell yeah it is
Buy stuff so you can get better traits rather than the shittiest ones

what camera view is this? dynamic low?
