Defense help

Two things... checking, i really dont get it, ive tried using heavier guys, bigger guys, 95 checking guys, fast guys, everything... all i do 90% of the time is bump people and they keep going...

Its largley because when i push the stick towards the guy there is a 2 second delay before he actually trys to check him.

Second

Is there a way to increase the chances of poke checks and stick lifts...
like decreasing chances of penalties, im guessing its puck control and diciplin but i wasnt sure.

Yes, the poke check effectiveness and stick check effectiveness sliders.

After you push the stick in the direction of your check, let it go immediately, or at least when you're in position to check. Pushing in the stick in the direction of your check and holding it is basically like priming it, although after a certain amount of time it will go through with animation anyway. Another thing to consider is, you should be off the right stick when going to check. Meaning, you should be gliding and not skating when trying to deliver a check.
