I asked basically the same questions last year, but couldn't find an answer that actually seemed to work. Eventually traded NHL 13 back halfway through the season, but now here we are again, and having the same problems...
a) When your opponent/cpu plays dump and chase, what's the easiest way to take control of a bouncing puck in the corner (by the way EA, come on...this ain't basketball...puck does bounce, but not like that). Is there a button I should press ? Seems like the CPU has no problem whatsoever, but when my players attenpt to stop the puck, it just bounces above my stick, and the forechecking opponent takes control of it.
b) I play on Superstar, with interceptions set at 4. Now whenever I try to make a pass cross the middle, chances are the CPU will intercept. But whenever the CPU does it, it just goes right through my players (doesn't matter if there 1, 2 or even 3 on my guys in the passing lane). What's the correct way ? I tried timing pokecheck, I tried the so-called intercept button (with the stick flat on the ice), tried to do nothing at all, nothing seems to work.
c) Just like the 2 previous years, pokechecks/lift sticks are driving me insane. The CPU can just skate through my defenders, with perfect control of the puck, whenever I try to poke. Lift stick doesn't work either...I either end-up in penalty box for high-sticking, breaking my opponent sticks, or just swing the air, with my opponent then beating me outside, leading to 2-on-1, or breakaways. So ANY help here, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
