If you are having problems mixing it up in the NHL 14 demo, (released this morning), check out the latest video showing you how to fight.

Anyone know how this will work online?

Anyone know how to turtle so that my star players aren't constantly getting jumped after I lay someone out in a clean hit?

Leave it to EA to fix something and break several other things in the process.

I've yet to see a "free skate" fight.

Edit: I have now. I didn't realize you had to instigate a fight for it. I was always forced into them because I was Kronwalling everyone.

I did, however, get one punched. It was awesome.

I'm not sure that you can turtle this time around, unfortunately. I'm not saying I wouldn't want the option, but so far it's been easy to avoid having star players fight in those situations because I'm always given the option to have someone who is more of a fighter jump in and take the fight. It's happened a couple times now...

You can instigate a fight by shooting after a whistle

I was never a fighter in any of the NHL games, but still loving the change. But..

I cant seem to "dodge" or "dodge & counter". Anyone have success timing it?

Oh heck yeah, I love having the guy swing and miss then lay him out.

I had one where he swung and missed and I one punched him with an uppercut. Twas BA

i wouldn't worry about this too much. one of the EA Devs said that they increased the fighting in the demo to showcase it, but it will not be like it is in the release version.

I'm getting my butt kicked every time (20-25 times) except for one, where I instigated with Toews and ended up beating Chara to pieces.
It seems very unresponsive most of the time though.

Can anyone tell me the button for"I'm Jonathan Toews and I don't want to fight Chara"? Is there a turtle button here lol

EDIT - There has to be a turtle some how, I was fighting with Keith vs Bergeron he landed 1 punch then tackled me. I can't find out how

I agree. The CPU crushed my player and I pressed triangle so Lucic came over to fight the guy who hitted my player. But no fights happened so I'm assuming the CPU turtled out even before the fight started. There has to be a turtle button. It was then a 4 on 4 situation.
