NHL 10: Improving Your On-The-Fly Coaching

Raise your hand if you have ever cursed out an AI teammate in a video game.

*All hands go up*

Keep that hand raised if you have ever cursed out an AI teammate in NHL 10.

*Most hands stay up*

For as much fun as NHL 10 can be, there is nothing more frustrating than watching your AI teammates commit dumb mistakes that lead to easy goals for the other team.

And for gamers not familiar with EA's NHL series or hockey in general, keeping those AI teammates on track can be completely mystifying since the game lacks any sort of tutorial that explains how to manage the on-the-fly coaching options mapped to the D-pad.

So for everyone out there who has no idea what a forecheck is or what separates a 1-2-2 High from a 1-2-2 Low, here is a guide that will help you get the most out of your AI teammates in NHL 10.

Good stuff man.... I always fix this up before game and change it round if I give up a bad breakaway or something. Didnt know 100 percent what the pressures meant tho so its good to have the details.

Very good read.

Good to get a better understanding of how these different strategies make the AI players behave.

Good analysis, just gave me some extra hockey knowledge there. Been playing NHL 10 like crazy the past couple weeks to get me to baseball season.

These kind of things need to either be in the game as a tutorial or in the manual. It's awesome that OS posts these.
