This is the first year I've bought this game and I have a question about faceoffs. From what I see in controls I'm supposed to click on the right analog stick (R3 on PS3) to try to win the faceoff. However, I played a game earlier today and didn't win any faceoffs. Do I understand the control correctly?? Any tips??
Thanks!

you dont click it, you flick it in the direction of your defencemen.. you've probably noticed you guy wasn't even moving his stick.

Thanks...actually it was so fast that I never did notice it..I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I did try moving the stick several times in previous games but it still wasn't clear. Thanks again!

Well, I just played a practice game and was flicking the stick but I still couldn't win any faceoffs. I think at this point it's a timing issue..I'm not flicking at the right time (I'm flicking when I see the puck dropped but proabably a little early or late.)

Yes, you have to flick the stick right when the hand of the ref goes up on it's up and down motion. It also depends on the players faceoff rating.

Aaah OK...thanks! I knew I was still doing something wrong.

On 360 you have to hold the stick down, not flick it, to be successful.
I suppose it is the same on ps3.

But it has very much to do with rating.

Yup..flick stick towards defensemen right when ref hand moves..I usually do multiple clicks fast
