I've been having the same problem, I even made a topic about it. I refuse to change the sliders as I mostly play online where you cannot change the sliders.

I still cannot win faceoffs in this game even after following JMoney's faceoff guide. I spent an hour in the demo purposely icing the puck, then I would pause the game after the computer chose their grip so I could choose the "superior" grip to win. It didn't help at all.

Topic Creator, the only thing that has worked for me is to grip backhand (push the right stick the same way the tip of the hockey stick is facing) and then when the puck is dropped, roll the stick from 9 o clock to 12 o clock (or if the player's backhand is the other way, 3 to 12 o clock).

While this has me winning about 65% of faceoffs, I still have no idea why this works or what in the heck I'm doing.
