Yeah it's definitely important to mix up your directions a bit.

Thank goodness for Operation Sports. I was winning 1 in 20 on Pro and now I win about 65-70% of them! I appreciate everyone taking the time to help those of us who aren't NHL pros at the game out!!

Doing what the coach suggests has helped me so far in those games.

The thing that frustrates me is that there doesn't seem to be a middle ground. One slider click, I'm winning 75 to 80%, one click up, and suddenly it's all reversed.

This happened to me in a game tonight, and I couldn't help but share. Apparently, I'm a little TOO good at faceoffs.

i can't find anyone experiencing the same problem i am with the faceoffs. i play mostly be a pro mode, on all-star difficulty. i've followed all the videos and tutorials i can find, and no matter how i attempt to pre-load the right stick... 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock... 90% of the time my player just starts flailing his stick as if i'm constantly moving the right stick up. but, i don't move it at all. why does this happen? i've tried pre-loading before the ref skates to the ready position, after he does it, as soon as the cutscene ends, prior to the faceoff... everything, and nothing works. does this happen to ANYONE else? i'm about to give up on this game all because of this glitch that only seems to happen to me, in this game. every google search i've performed comes up empty. i registered here just to see if anyone could help me. thanks.
