 Alright you guys, what is going on? It's about time, it's about time I get into NHL 19. It's been sitting there on my PS4 home screen for a week. Every single day I want to play it, every single day I want to make a video, hopefully I've got the green screen working and we can actually make a nice video out of this. I'm not going to connect to the internet, I'm not going to play anyone online, I'm just going to play my very first game of NHL 19. Now I'm going to read the rule book which I don't have because I didn't buy the game but what I did buy today, I went a little bit overboard, I bought two more. So we've got FIFA which everyone loves, I've played FIFA a lot in the past, not for the last probably six or seven years and NBA which I have played in the past but not a lot. So I've got four EA Sports 19 games right now, we've got Madden, NHL, FIFA and NBA. So today's video as you can see by the title is about NHL. Following that we're going to do FIFA and following that we're going to do NBA. But with all that being said I have been streaming on Twitch so anyone who does go on Twitch at all, follow my Twitch page, it's Jacob McDonald27. I have been made an affiliate so I can actually take donations, I can actually have subscribers which is pretty sweet so if you do want to go over there and follow my channel do that because I will be streaming all four games and I do want to stream all four games which is going to be cool, hopefully that's going to be like a bit of a niche for me, the sports sort of streaming guy. I don't know how many hours of each day I'm going to be able to do it, I don't know what days of the week I'm going to be able to do it but I do need a schedule, that's one thing I know I need. So stay tuned, watch out for a video talking about my Twitch schedule, if you do want to watch me come in and chat. Basically it's just me chatting with mates, honestly it's not watching me play, it's the chat room is where it's at so I can't wait to do that but with that being said today we're just doing NHL. I'm going to play a quick match, I don't even know, honestly I'm excited man, I hope I'm good, I hope I score a goal, it's a goal right? Let's get into it, yes close that, seriously I've been wanting to do this for ages, I just hope you enjoy. My ice hockey videos have been performing really well recently so I feel that this will be received well hopefully. Comment down below how I've gone, on a scale from 1 to 10 comment down below how I go, let's go English. I've got a jug of water, a jug of cold water which is scarce around here in cans, it's quite hot and humid and I don't know if I like it but I've got no choice. Anyways, I'm excited, let's do this. Should I look at the controls or should I just go blind? I don't know, what am I going to do? I am new to sports gaming, I have not played recently, I am experienced. Standard controls and base difficulty, yep. Okay what do we got? Skillstick, use the right stick and left stick for complete control, all actions available. Really? Okay, really? Hmm, hybrid. Combination, all right, combinations, buttons and stick control. NHL 94, shot pass, body check switch player. I'm sure there's some guys out there that would rather that, let's crack up. Okay, recommended, I'll go skillstick. But what was the control? Passes R2, deak modifier, shoot deak move player, what do we got? Okay. Rookie, you're new to the game, yes. Over-the-top arcade action, no rules, classic video game hockey, competitive gameplay on our online default, ultra realistic gameplay. Well we're going to go with the recommended settings. Thank you for setting up your hospitality settings, you can make changes to these at a later time by visiting our setting screen. Okay, look at that snow, I'd love to be there man. I always see pictures of, you know, back in New Zealand and winter time in the snow, snow, it's, there's snow on the mountains for like four or five months of the year. It's amazing. Anyways, am I going to have some volume? Should I? So pass, no, R2 is pass, right stick is shoot and deak, left stick is move player and L2 is change deak. Okay, training camp, all right, they're going to teach me, let's do the training camp. Hi, I'm Tom Rainey, welcome to training camp. Hey Tom. A new feature brought to you by EA Sports NHL and Hockey Canada to deliver tips and tricks that will help improve your hockey skills. Sweet. We want you to enjoy the game as much as we do and it's always important when you're learning and improving. So take advantage of these tips to learn the rules, build your hockey knowledge. Geez, I can't even tell which one's which, real or fake. Good luck and have fun. Hi, this is Ray Ferraro. In conjunction with Hockey Canada, I'm going to teach you both the sport of hockey and how to perform the actions of the game that will help you be more effective. There's six key parts to training camp. Shooting, passing, defense, base off, basic deaking and advanced deaking. If you're new, you'll probably want to learn the basics of the first four training categories. If you're an advanced user, you can jump ahead to advanced deaking if you want. After the interactive training camp, there's a whole suite of videos covering the concepts that are taught to the players at Hockey Canada. Then as you play and enjoy the game, keep an eye out for Hockey Canada videos that the coaching feedback system recommends to you. Those are based on your personal performance. Let's get it on. Let's go, mate. Shooting. Right stick. Okay, let's do this. Let's go. Hey everybody, in shooting training camp, we're going to teach you different kinds of shots and how to use these shots to effectively score goals. Using the NHL skill stick control, the left stick always controls your play, and the right stick controls your hockey stick. To take a bit of shot, just press the right stick forward. The control hint is there to remind you what to do. The best time to shoot is always when the hand goes. Okay. Let's take the eyes of the drivers through yourself. Thank you. I will. Let's do this. Let's do this. Here we go. First try. We're that blue. I've got to wait for the blue little check mark, don't I? Slap shot, wind up. Slap shot's the most powerful shot in hockey. It's your best chance of scoring if you're far from the net. To wind up for a slap shot using skill stick controls, you pull the right stick back. Is that better? You press the right stick forward. Okay. You can't wind up for too long or the puck's going to sail away. They're trying it now. I might enjoy this game, you know. Faked them. Oh, what? I've got to push through with it. Okay. Give me another one. Oh, shit. I'm not pushing through. Get it. I've got to be facing forward. Okay. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this. I don't have to do it. Since the right stick controls your hockey stick, you can use it to position the puck around your body. Prepare for a wrist shot. First you hold the puck out to your forehand side, which for a left shooting player is over to the left. This will cause you to enter into a blind. This will improve your shot power and accuracy. When you're ready to take the wrist shot, press the right stick up. Whoops. We'll try and get one this time. I'm terrible, aren't I? I'm freaking terrible. All right. Aiming. Let's aim a shot right now. To have a better chance of getting the goalie, you have to aim your shots. Use the left stick to aim in an open spot. The shot lane visualization shows which side of the net is open and the goalie grid visualization shows dark blue regions the goalie doesn't have cover. Before shooting, enter a forehand line or a slap shot line up and look at the goalie. Use the left stick to aim in an open spot. When it turns green, you keep the left stick up. Oh my God. Oh my God. So that comes in with any shot, does it? Oh, we'll try and open her up. Put a bit of Ronaldo spin on it. Oh, that was open. Shooting. Done. Passing. Okay. R2. It's pretty cool how you can just use the two sticks to... Well, once you've got it in the putt... Once you've got it in the puck handlers... Player? Puck handler? Press the R2 button and aim your left stick at your team. The pass targeting visualization shows where your left stick is aiming and pass assist will lock onto the target if you're aiming close out. Release the R2 button to launch the pass. Whoops. There's passing and then there's good passing. Passing through around the net. They'll try to keep it from getting in the puck to the slot. So to help your team maintain possession of the puck while looking for good scoring opportunities, skate around the offensive zone and you can pass the puck to open junior. I want to talk Habes, but I need to listen. You can always look around and pass to a player near the point, in the corner, or along the half ball. The pass suggestion visualization helps identify good passes to the open play. Try it now. Okay, get there! Go, son! Yeah, like I was saying, I want to talk to you guys, but I'm really competitive, so I really want to be good at this. And I don't know that that's possible in the first time playing it, but I don't want you guys to think I'm absolutely terrible. So look, I've got to listen. One-timers. And the best way to do that is to pass to an open player who's in position to shoot a one-time shot, to take the one-time shot, pass to a teammate, and then smack it with the right stick. You hold the right stick up to trigger a one-time. Oh, I like that. Go out wide, pass it into the middle, do a one-shot. Whoops, too slow. My brain literally didn't work fast enough for that. Yep, give it here, Matt. Pricy, old price. Is that it? Am I doing it right? Yes! Yeah, that's not a one-timer, is it? Get it! Whoops. Got him. No, I'm not confident. Or a wrist shot. Or a one-time. Okay. Remember to aim your shot and use the on-ice trainer visualizations for assistance. There are many ways to score. The more creative and unpredictable you are, the more successful you'll have. Right, so obviously these these visualizations are not there normally, I assume. Got you. Whoops. Oh, I forgot to press shoot. I would actually love to play the same in real life. Oh, how do I change player? All right, I'm not gonna, I'll take my time. For God's sake. Come on, Pricy. Through there. Oh, I missed it. How do you change player on defense? I keep on thinking R2 is sprint. That's my problem. R2 has changed player. Okay. Right, we're gonna do a... I can't remember what they called it. The one where I pass it and he shoots. Get that! So there is no sprinting. This is quite fun, actually. Once you get the hang of it. Not that I've got the hang of it, but you know. Slap shot! Get the puck, son. He's open. He's going himself. Slap shot. Not quite. Okay, this is not as easy as I thought it would be. Oh, what? Get there, Crosby. Old Croser. Let's go. Let's go. Up the middle. Splits them. Splits them. Splits them. Splits them. How's he got an open man? Yes, he does. I don't know about that shot. For some reason I can't slap it on the full. Get there. Get it. So it's L2 Tackle then, because it's the easy controls. Get it in there. You had some green. Now aim for it. All right. I'm not gonna... I said I'm not gonna panic. That was panicking. Go, Pricy. Oh, I should have shot. It's kind of like soccer really, isn't it? Kind of like FIFA, I mean. Not like soccer, but yeah. Slap it in. Get that puck. Still here, guys? Still here? Oh, shit. I don't want you guys to be here for too long. I want to score. I really do. So you can score long-range goals. Okay. Good to know. Right, passing complete. Defense. Okay. Poke check is a great way to use your stick to knock the puck away from your opponent. To make a poke check, you press the R1 button when the puck is in range of your stick. Try it now. Okay. Let's do it. Dicks of the man. Woop. Body check. In the right situations, you cannot throw it to your opponent with a body check. This is gonna be fun. Using skill stick controls to throw a body check, you use the left stick to skate towards your opponent. Then hold the right stick towards them until you finish the check. Try it now. Sweet. Let's try it. Oh, shit. Okay. That's got to feel good. Great defensive tool to steal the puck from an opponent. This works best when you're alongside your opponent and you're moving in a similar direction. You get more leverage by having your stick underneath theirs so you can lift it more strongly to great technique when you're smaller than your opponent and you can't separate them from the puck using a body check. So you've got poke, stick lift and body check. Okay. So you can go L1 or X when you're close to someone to get the puck. Well, oh, shit. Sorry, coach. Get it in there. Shot pricey. I've really got to time it. Don't know. Let's get under the stick. Under the stick. All right. I'm going to tap it like furiously. Get it under there. Backward skating. Oh, my gosh. A backwards stick lift would be nice. Get it. Go, son. No. Have I been kicked off the field? No. Not the field. The rink. Oh, it's not all over. Defense done. What do we got? Face off? Oh, my gosh. All right. Let's go. Whoops. Keep on pressing pause by accident. Every face off is an opportunity to start on offense instead of defense. It's the first battle of every show. In face off training camp, we're going to learn different ways to beat your opponent in the face off circle. The key to winning face offs is timing. To draw the puck back at the face off, using the skill stick controls, you press the right stick down as soon as the referee drops the puck. You can use the left stick to aim at which teammate you want to win the puck back to. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. All right. I'm going to give it to my three o'clock. Whoops. Too late. To improve the power of your face off draw, you can use a specialized grip. To select a face off grip, hold the right stick out to your forehand or backhand side prior to the draw. For this exercise, let's try winning draws just using the backhand grip. Press the right stick down as soon as the referee drops the puck. I think he'll go backhand. Let's go Crosby. I felt like I went a bit early there, but anyways, I'll take it. The tie up. What's the tie up? Face off tie up won't win the draw cleanly. You're going to need help from a teammate who will have to retrieve the puck for you, but it's the easiest way to win the draw. That's really against an opponent who tries to draw the puck back using the backhand grip. You'll notice the opponent's using the backhand grip with the back of his lower hand is facing you and his top forearm is angled upwards. To tie up your opponent at the face off, you press the left stick up as soon as the wrap drops the puck. Let's do it. Try it now. Okay. I'll try it. Don't want to go backhand. Push him. Hold him there. That's it. Go son. Should I use the backhand grip? I'll try and win it anyway. That's it. Good strength. Well done boys. Stick lift. I love my stick lifts. Lifting the opponent's center stick can be executed through the forehand or backhand grip. It's the best way to beat an opponent who tries to draw the puck back from a forehand grip. You'll notice the opponent is using his forehand grip when the palm of his lower hand is facing and his top forearm is angled downwards. To perform a face off stick lift, choose a grip and then press the right stick up as the wrap drops the puck. Okay. But you can still win more by holding him up. Basic deeking. I'm going to like this. Hang on. I've got to check my phone. Wait up. Welcome to the deeking training camp. Here we're going to show you several deeks you can use to perform during deals. With NHL skillset and your hybrid control, the right stick gives you a full one-to-one control of your player's stick. Through different motions on both the left and right stick, you can manipulate and remove your body and where you send the puck. You can use manual control or basic stick handling. That looks real, man. Ultimately, deagle the goalie. Once you start to get the hang of it, you'll be able to harness dozens of advanced moves such as loose puck deeks. Straighten deeks together all the way to the most advanced highlight real moves. Oh my God. If you saw that in real life, move the right stick side to side. Do this as you approach the goalie to get him out of position. Makes it easier to score. Let's try. So literally just side to side to side. Nothing in front because that's shoot. Toe drag. We're not playing NFL, are we? When you're skating and stick handling towards... This looks complicated. They're going to be using an active stick to try and knock the puck loose. Use a toe drag to move the puck back and around as you pull it over. This extra separation will allow you to avoid an active stick in poke check as you change lanes to avoid them offending. To perform a toe drag, you move the right stick out to the forehand side and roll it under to the backhand side. You can do a similar move from the backhand side as well. Let's try. Let's try. I don't know if I got that. Loose puck deek. Knowing loose puck deeks will allow you to perform moves that you can use when you're in a one-on-one situation against the defender. The L1 button will open up a whole new world for you. By simply tapping the L1 button, you can send the puck in the current direction of your left stick. By timing this right, you'll be able to push the puck past the defender and then leave them in the dust. Try some taps of the L1 button to get past the defender. You didn't give me much of a chance. At least make me do it properly. Now that you've seen the power of the L1 button, combining it with the right stick will allow you to perform even more complex moves. To perform a windmill, press and hold the L1 button. Press the right stick to the left or right to change lanes and collect the puck on the other side. This is awesome. Let's try it now. All right, I think we've done that. Advanced deaking. Last one on the list. I'm going to call it a day there because my first actual, actually not, no, we're going to make another video, my first game. Of course, we're going to do that. No, I don't know if I should be doing this, actually. You learn the fundamentals of both stick handling and loose puck deeks, including the basic window. That's just scratching the surface. We're going to get to a collection of loose puck deeks which you can perform with different starting and end locations on both your left and right sticks. Let's try this concept out and take a crack at the between the legs deep. To perform a between the legs deep, first roll the puck back and hold it on the forehand side. Then press and hold the L1 button to initiate the start of a loose puck deep. From there, pull the right stick through to the direction you want to send the puck. No, I fucked that. Let's go. Let's get out of this. We're going to quit that. I think I've got enough. I'm going to have to rack my brain still to do any good, but let's do this. Let's play a game. The first team that I actually knew of that I told you guys was the Detroit Red Wings. So we're going to go then. I like the white and red. I really like the uniform. And that's the only reason I've got to like a team at this stage. That's me. Okay. Three moats. Right. Be a pro. Franchise. Let's go. Well, we're going to play now. Thanks mate. And I'm going to play the Pittsburgh Penguins because that's the only other team I know. And they're most likely going to beat me, which is not good, but what uniform are we going to do? 1927. Yeah, that's that's that's pretty classic, isn't it? Let's do that. Game settings. Difficulty. Okay. Superstar, Allstar pro, semi pro, rookie. Yeah. Let's go rookie. Let's play it. Turn the volume back up. We really are. Would you look at that? Oh, shit. Go son. How many players are on each team? I actually don't know that. Hustle. That's what I'm talking about. I tried to do a backhand. What's offside? I'm going to have to learn the rules, I think. I'm going to push him up. Good, good, go. Yeah, boy. How do I, how do I smash into him? It's R2, isn't it? Absolutely stoked with that. Oh, bloody hell. Tried some deeps. Didn't work. I'm going to try and give someone a big hit. Well, that wasn't me, by the way. Who sticks on the ground? Now, what do you do when the goalie gets it? That's one thing I was wondering. Whoops. Riff. I see. I see. After, what, 12 minutes? Little of the man. If we can pull off a windmill, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? So a poke check is R1. X is a stick lift. Oh, offside is then. Or one offside. What are you doing, mate? I was meant to take a shot. I'm trying to do a windmill, I reckon. Faceoff shot. So when it's saved, they do a drop. Oh, we got slashed. Jeepers. No, you don't want to slash. That sounds terrible. Oh, no. I don't like the sound of slashing there. We've got a power play to Pittsburgh for some unknown reason. Now, we're going to do an offside, sorry, a backhand. Little backhand flick near to see there. Passed it to the goal. Right, we'll give you a body check. I'll try. That's what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, he has. Shit. Once I get the controls down, I think I might be okay. But it is on rookie. I know, I know. I'm kind of still, I'm just smashing buttons at the moment. What was that? Shot, Howard. Solid work. I want to do this windmill. Oh, no. There is penalties, okay. Hard to tell what the referees might call. Power play chance here. Let's see what happens this time. This power play needs an adjustment. I'm sure the coach is talking to me. Oh, that's how you hold it. I was holding it the wrong way. Because he's probably because he's right-handed, not left-handed. Come on, get that. Let's have a look at this. That looks real, doesn't it? Go backhand. This game I do. Just got to get my head around the controls. Can the goalie not leave that, can the goalie not leave that blue area? Do they have to have one foot in that blue area or something? That would make a lot of sense. Explains a few things. Whoops. That was nearly a slash, wasn't it? Oh, shit. Guys, I, we're actually going to call it, call it a day there. I'm going to go and see my daughter now. It's her birthday today. I've spent the morning with her. Now I've spent a couple hours here doing what I want to do. And I'm going to go back there and spend the evening with her. So, hey, thanks for being here. I had fun. Like I said, I've got these two games as well. So, head over to my Twitch channel if you do want to follow it, jacobmcdonald27.
