Change Skaters Positional: Positional play is a conservative offensive scheme that is the cornerstone of any hockey team. The two forwards will alternately attack the net. While one forward is attacking the net, the other will be holding back and thinking defensively. A button + left trigger . . . . . . . . . . . Change to Goalie X button. . . . . . . . . . .
Overload Slot: A more aggressive style of play is known as overloading the slot. When the first rush is stopped and the follow-up attack does not result in a play on the net, the puck is passed out to the point (defenseman farthest back in the attacking zone). The defensemen then try to score by shooting a hard slap shot. The forwards go to the net and attempt to pick up the rebound. DEFENSE Here's a rundown of the standard defensive controls.
