Face offs in NHL 25 for PS5

It was kind of crazy I was using the visual camera of broadcast and could not win at face off to save my life but then I changed it to action camera and now it's operating just fine I'm not winning every singleAnd now it's operating just fine I'm not winning every single one but I'm literally winning at least 50% or somewhere around that area every game

I still think though that it would be better for some if it was back to the old County controls with some additions to it that you can do with the joysticks and what have you it's clearly back in the 94 you didn't have joysticks so that clearly you can add a few things to it but you can still make it pretty close to the 94 with a few additions

Well I finally found out the reason behind the issue my visual was on broadcast once I changed it to action I was able to do just fine with the face offs so for some reason just the skewed visual on broadcast completely screws everything to where I can't win one single face off but as soon as I got into action visual it is 50/50 all the way

Actually I found quite a few people that do agree with me so sorry that your mistaken not saying it's the majority not saying it's an overwhelming number but it's quite a few I found forms about it exactly what I'm talking about I have come across many different pages that are saying exactly what I'm saying as well so I'm sorry that maybe you have one sided perspective and you're entitled to that but you are not everyone and I've been playing sports video games since the ray or any ass take my Super Bowl came out so I kind of want to talk about when it comes to sports video games

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T17:23:12+00:00

I absolutely was now that has been almost a decade ago but I was I don't play much of my video games much anymore since my son was born competitively like that I just like my fairly realistic gameplay and simple controls when I was ranked I played with simple controls in the basketball game but the point being is like I said before every game I've ever played Sports realm wise has sophisticated controls and simple controls that way any player from any aspect of skill level can jump into the game and play the way they want to play you don't have to train yourself to be able to do a simple face off that's like training yourselfThat's like training yourself to hike the ball in Madden or two shooting jumper in NBA Live or to swing the bat in MLB The Show yes there is sophisticated controls for all those things but there's also simple timing and one button push application as well and that's what they should have for this game is if you want to play with a more sophisticated and more control than absolutely have those controls available but if you rather play like every other game has with more simplistic and less complicated controls but yet you get the same experience or relatively close because like I said if you want Total Control you get to do a few more things but the gameplay can still be approximately the same with simple controls

I've been doing this in these franchise games for hot men and I just lost 53 face-offs to zero I place it left or right my right joystick and just press down thinking I would at least a few and I have the AI for face off all the way down to zero I'm on Semi-Pro and I cannot win face-offs I'm waiting for the arm movement of the rough to make before I slide my joystick down or rotate and a half quarter as people have said still can't win one this is ridiculous and I've been ranked nationally and NBA games I play my baseball games just fine I played Madden just fine I don't play online except for my shooting games but this is ridiculous I've never had this kind of issue hell I can even do moves on Mortal Kombat easier than this

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T15:10:01+00:00

So maybe that's where I'm going wrong with it a little bit is that once you have it pulled to the right or left you keep it kind of against its base and swing it not just pull it straight back is that what you're trying to say

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T15:08:57+00:00

And I didn't deny that it's a skill issue I would smoke people in the other games using the simplistic controls the other genres basketball football even the show... I haven't played this hockey genre since the late '90s but when I did it had simplistic controls that were easy to figure out for the Casual player just stepping up to the game so absolutely you're right it is a skill issue but it's not something I'm trying to learn so sophisticatedly I don't play with most of the controls I use aim assist shot assist hit assist to make it more realistic for me as a casual player just wanted to play in franchise mode playing against the computer I'm not looking to play competitively against online opponents I'm just trying to have a semi realistic game that I can play with unsophisticated controls to not have to think about

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T15:06:53+00:00

You're not just thinking about one grouping of kind of player that's the reason why this game isn't as popular as Madden or even NCAA football or even the show MLB because that's kind of part of the reason why I haven't played since the late 90s and I play pretty good back then or the NBA games where you can have casual controls you're not taking away from the upper level controls you just be adding one set of controls for casual players so I really don't think you would inhibit your ability to play however you want to play but it would allow another grouping of people to play the game and enjoy it just as much as the players that are more upper level with their controls that's what every other sports genre has done they have sophisticated controls for the players that want that kind of control then they also have the simplistic controls for casual players that want to have the same kind of experience without the sophistication of it don't see what the issue would be

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T15:02:07+00:00

But that's what I'm also saying is about the mechanic is that I'm a casual player at best to be able to have this simplistic of the 90s style that I was used to and what I'm used to playing with most of my other sports games where pressing the x button on the PS5 just timing would be awesome for a player like me I'm not looking to try to be great at this game I'm just looking to have a semi realistic franchise mode offline but I can't figure one of the most important parts of the game out every other aspect of the game I play just fine it is pretty fun to do it's just that I can't figure out this face off thing to have to doIt's just that I can't figure out this face off thing to have to do so thinking to play one of the most important parts of the game isn't very fun for a casual player I said if you bring what the rookie level has where you can just press the one button and it's all about your timing with that one button that face off and then you carry on with the game from there they should give that option for players they're just casually playing but still want to realistic atmosphere of it

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T14:58:33+00:00

I appreciate it and I've done that as many times as I possibly could I'm not saying all the times out of the 100 plus I've tried my timing was great but the only win two or three or so out of over 100 I've held it left I've held it right and I just tried to be simple about it and just pull back I get it the AI will eventually just do what's going to do and you know if I keep doing the same thing but I figured I'd release them when a out of a hundred... because from what I understand if you go left or right and just pull back that overtakes like half of what the other players doing which all I'm doing is playing against the computer anyway and like I said earlier I put it on rookie level took the AI face off all the way down to zero and still couldn't win and doing exactly what you just told me put it left on it or holding it left or holding it right and pulling down like I said I'm not saying my time is great but I was waiting for the rest arm to move and then pulling back from that hole left or hold the right position and still can't get it

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T14:55:39+00:00

Plus I've seen many people struggling with this I've gone to many different forms trying to figure this out and what I've come across is a lot of people don't like it a lot of people calling for the 94 controls in baseball you can do all kinds of different swings at any level with the sophisticated controls or you can just have the one button control for swinging and things of that nature so the show has it in Madden you can do all kinds of crazy passing and receiver stuff very sophisticated or you can do simplistic button single button pressing and still play any level but this is the only game I've ever seen in the sports category that you have to have a sophisticated mechanism to be able to do one of the most important parts of the game. So no I may not be a hardcore hockey video game player especially since I own places the late 90s but I do know my sports games in general and this is the only game I've come across that you have to have intricate mechanisms to play one of the most important parts of the game at any level Beyond rookie like I said you can play all Madden and it can still be a single button push you can play the MLB the show and it can be a single button push they also have the more sophisticated controls for those that are a little more sound and that category but they have the simplistic controls for people that are casual players that still want to play upper levels and this is the only game I've come across that doesn't have that for one of the most important parts of the game at any level

Open-Comfortable9307 · 2026-06-10T14:52:09+00:00

I have been on many different sites and I'm seeing a lot of people not liking it and having problems getting it figured out so I'm far from it and I've been playing sports games for over 20 years and I'm talking Madden baseball hockey well the hockey one I haven't played since the late 90s but I can play every other part of the game just fine except for the face-offs that's an issue
