I'm sort of clueless as to what is going on here... have you ever noticed anything similar? another thing: has anyone of you ever used precision skating effectively in this game? I'm not talking about vision control, I'm completely aware of what that is and of how L2 is used. my question is about holding the L1 button and then moving your player in any direction. apart from this, I quite like the game. It certainly has its flaws, but they don't justify the amount of rather ridiculous post around the forums... thanks in advance for any thoughts, comments or maybe even help!

The faceoff issue seems to be the game not reading input correctly/faulty thumbstick/user error. I get it sometimes randomly and I've played the game enough to know how to properly hold the stick. I haven't ever really gotten the precision skating to work properly. I've never "held the line" with my Defense and if I'm playing against the cpu they just usually skate up and steal the puck if I try. I just gave up on trying.
