NHL 17 Coaching Strategy Guide

[RaychelSnr]

There's a lot to love about the strategic aspect of NHL 17. In many ways, the game forces you to be a bit more cerebral in how you attack an opponent, which is never a bad thing.

The folks over at Cheltips have put together a pretty expansive guide on the coaching end of things in NHL 17.

Quote:

"I started with research, but appears there is some room for a bit of interpretation on most hockey strategies so I decided that watching the in-game AI would be best way to determine exactly what positions these strategies will be putting them in. In this guide, we will cover Offensive Zone Bias, Forecheck, Offensive Line Strategies, Neutral Zone, Defensive Line Strategies, and finally Defensive Pressure. Breakouts and special teams will have to wait for another day Check out Coaching Strategies Part Two for breakout and special teams strategies."

Be sure to check out the guide as it covers a lot of topics which you will certainly find helpful!

Fantastic guide. Even schooled me on some things I didn't know.

Wanted to stop in and just say that if anyone happens to have any questions on the guide(s) then let me know and I'll answer them best I can.

I think it made me realize that as well while I was testing out the strategies before writing it - glad it helped you out!

I tend to control a winger when on defense and leave it to the defenders to do their thing. Sometimes an opposing player will skate right between my two defensemen and get in clean on my goalie. Is there a setting or strategy which will prevent this or do I need to control a defender?
