NHL 24 TOTAL CONTROL SECRETS *TIPS & TRICKS* 

Let me know any questions you have about the controls and I’ll try to answer it👇 Hope this video helped!

Dude I just got nhl 24 as a huge hockey fan but never playing an NHL game. I don't know the controls or anything and can't find any tutorials. I appreciate this so much!!!

The new controls have completely destroyed eashl and hut. It's literally just rampant hip checks and Michigans. Absolutely zero hockey is played. Every one does the same thing this year. Go to corner loop around hope they miss the hit. Cut in front and either aim far side or deal a 1 timer. Goalies put the puck in the net more often than ever or miss what should be a blatantly easy save by diving all over the place or poke checking for zero reason.. The new goalie controls are horrific.

Haven't played NHL in years but love it. Getting back into it, I needed something to to understand the basic mechanics of what EA is offering up in 2024 and I have to say I like what I see. I'm about half a century old and you killed it kid, I don't even need to look for another video and feel confident enough that I can get into this again because of how well this kid articulates what he's talking about. I learned a lot from this RU-vid video in very little time. I wish all videos were this well done. Saves me time and I can just get back into hockey. Thank you.

Bring back road to a shutout please 🙏🏻

been subbed a bit now, and have been playing this since the very beginning, NHL Hockey on the Sega Genesis, being older, the hands don't quite work like they used to so, this video was super helpful to relearn kinda the system. Thanks Nasher!

We could literally fix the controls for EA if they allowed customizable controls... But no, they are just too dumb.

Thank you, very informative. I play casually so I don't need to be the very best, thus I'm playing with new controls and so far I really like them. I really like new hitting way and I do like vision passing despite it being a bit inconsistent and I do have to watch which button I have to click instead of doing it automatically based on where I am on the ice

There were many times in NHL23 that I would find myself pulling in on the pass button so I could get it off when the player got into position so I'm basically use to doing that already. lol Some things I like and some things are frustrating but I've spent all week trying to learn these new controls.Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

I feel like they should add the old controller buttons settings back or let people bind the buttons they want.

I'm so glad for you video. I was understanding everything with the new control besides that back check with the right stick. I feel like it's so touchy and I'm losing good breakaways off of it.

Anyone else feel like poke checks are nerfed

We need Sleevless and Nasher doing the Rostislav Nasherov series together! Be a Pro or Franchise. Would pay for it! Best content on the market! 😎

Maybe theres a way we can get nasher to bring us a franchise mode🙏

Hey thanks for all theses tips! I haven't played since '19 and just got back, so I was totally confused!

Just got the game yesterday been playing chel since 09 i was skating around trying to lay the body and kept brushing guys this helps a ton thanks!

Thanks for the hitting tips! Was driving me nuts 😂 seems to be lots of bugs first drop copies no lie tho

Thanks for the tips I tried the total controls when the game came out and I was honestly super confused 😂

Thanks so much nasher that helped me so much😊

I wish they would just leave the right stick as shoot/dangle and not make it for hitting. The amount of accidental penalties im getting from mistiming the one T and checking someone instead for the interference call is brutal lol since we have hit buttons on the buttons now for defense its not needed. It would probably improve the poke checking mechanic too with the hitting taken off the right stick.

Thanks dude awesome video explained a lot since you can’t practice drills anymore.

They added the Murphy dump. The high puck flip out of the zone is something Larry Murphy would do every game when under pressure. This was back when he played for the Penguins.

My first year watching NHL & my first time playing the game. It’s been an interesting year been to 10+ NHL games. And NHL 24 has been great for my first experience playing.

Love your videos, Nasher

How often do you click/hold speed boost while skating in the zone and how much do you glide?

I’ve played the game for the last 14 years and am not embarrassed to say, have looked forward to at least one game per day when not traveling. Even when others complained, I’ve loved it. Unfortunately, EA has decided to try to reinvent the wheel and in the process, ruined what was once so enjoyable. The skill stick is useless and the reverse check is punishment for anyone with strong hands - as is trying to take a shot if you’re pushing too hard on the right stick (winds up and does not release)…I can’t tell you how many breakaways I’ve had and not released the shot after deking the goalie…the on ice play is truly bizarre, “squishy”, slow and painful. And the controls require the game to be a full time job for anyone that wants to be competitive. I’m more upset about not having this game to look forward to. I’ve tried to fight through it but it’s so unplayable that after a decade and a half, have finally given up. Maybe ‘25 will be an improvement..

Is there a way to do that little chip forward to yourself in 24 or did they take that out completely? It was Right bumper in 23

Cant wait for hybrid controls to come back

Thx for new dump controls RT@RS up. BTW, you can remap RS3 to Dpad down to fix reverse hit issue.

great video as always

Twice now I had a player going for a slap shot gets knocked down and then while laying down hits the slap shot at the net. Didn't know what I was doing but it must have something to do with the glitch you mentioned. Great video by the way have to watch it a few times just bought a play station I couldn't wait any longer for NHL to come on PC

I haven’t played a NHL game in years. I swapped to pc gaming. But since EA won’t release NHL on pc, I finally broke down and got a series x for this game. This video really helped. Lots of great tips!

Nasher... using the Hybrid controls for NHL 24, do I use the right hand stick and simply pull it down for face-offs? I have not won a face-off yet. Never had a problem with NHL 22 or 23. Please help, because losing face-offs in my own end is causing me to lose games. Thanks! (Any tips would help as well)

As some one who just got in the game this really helped me I understand everyone else is mad because it use to take real skill but I love this totally control

This is somthing i wanted to see tricks letss goo

Patition for a nasher franchise mode

For the bigger hits on defense, does your orientation matter? For instance if the player you’re trying to hit is under you on screen do you do the slap shot motion in reverse (up then down) or is it still down then up

Nasher your my fave nhl gamer man, u always make time to dangle and try sick plays. Love your style and content

I like the new controls except the protect puck. I’m willing to get rid of a deke for that to be back to a button

This helps me so much

Hi Nasher I love your videos I’m going to Columbus and trying to see one of your heat games

just made the switch from 94 control to skill stick. Is skill stick harder then total control? Am super confused with total control is it just an add on to skill stick or is it a whole new thing

I really need them to bring back hybrid controls. I’ve been in the game since NHL98 and have been every release. Those new players who use skill stick have no problem with it.

First, Nasher love these vids thanks for helping out the community pumped up for Rusty and HUT I hope you can post more HUT videos and Shoutout challenges are probably one of the best playlists on RU-vid

Hi cool video! Has there been any issues with Season Mode as it seems to crash and freeze at the Play Game screen. It's been a issue the last couple years for me and I can't play any games. Any information you can help with? Thank you

All EA needs to do is allow for controller customization. Problem solved. Also, on that, what about their handicapped players? I just see it as a huge miss. Great vid

all around very happy to see ea has made changes to this game thats been the same for a few years i like the changes for the controllers but that reverse hit has to go i have a scuff remote and i disabled r3 just for that reseon great videos

They decided to rework the controls for some reason? Rather than listen to the community on changes and be a pro is exactly the same lol

GREAT VIDEO 💥💥

They should make it so that if you get body-checked while crouching down to do the Michigan that you get injured 100% of the time. That'll at least prevent people from using it when there's a defender near, because almost no player in the NHL could pull that shot off while being pursued. It mostly works when a player has time and space because the defense doesn't want to flush him out. Making it a one-click shot that scores most of the time leaves it as basically a cheat code, so they should really punish people for using it too much. I'm pretty sure there's never been an NHL game with 3+ Michigans scored.

been 20 years since I played a hockey video game... ready to have some FUN!!

@thenasher61 I absolutely hate it. I can’t play the $75 game at all. It’s frustrating. I’m just going to hold off until the hybrid controls come out at the end of the month. Can you let the people know when that happens?

Nasher never disappoints

This can really help because I just got NHL 24

Definitely somewhere in the middle on this, but I’m enjoying something different and learning something new.

Awesome vid

How do u net battle with the new controls?

How do you hug the boards on offense with the puck on total controls

Hey Nasher. I’m loving playing WoC with the boys, but hot damn, the bugs are badddddddd. I’m hoping this stuff gets fixed.

Yoo do an oilers franchise mode this is gonna be a great vid plsss

Man I havent bought a sports game since NHL 2005. Was inspired to get NHL 24 after an old school video game party with my buds. Honestly it's gonna take some practice but it's fun man

How do you protect puck on the boards with the puck? I have no idea how to start board play.

Love your vids

petition for Nasher to petition EA to give me back hybrid controls. total control makes all my hard work and dedication null and void.

anyone know the name of the song in like the first minute of the video

Great video

Love the vids

How do you just do a normal toe drag with the RS? Not the toe drag shot with square

I notice I get back checked a lot when my back is turned skating into the zone. It seems way too automatic. Is that just a hip check from behind? It’s like they are checking my hands and I can’t do anything to stop it

Agreed, that reverse hit is annoying. Aside from being behind the net, the Michigan is kinda useless, especially in games.

I liked the hybrid in nhl 23 instead of the total control pass and shoot for playstation it would still be x pass and square for shoot but the decks like michigan will be triangle press and hold would be way better

Best RU-vidr this video was a banger

i love you nasher!!

I had no problem with faceoffs in NHL 22 & 23. Now, I can't win a single faceoff in '24 (Except by accident) Can you please show the controller and the exact buttons to use. Is it the same for Hybrid?

Thanks Nasher ,

I struggle with getting goals while I’m front of the net with rebounds you use to be able to hold LT and shoot but now LT does nothing and I keep getting penalties for hitting rather than shooting is there a way to shoot rather that hit in front of the net with traffic

Do this but with skill stick

Nasher,how to enable shift simulation? Because it’s not very goodto wait all the time

Great video, mad informative.

how do you do the micigan ps5

I'm so used to the 94 controls how does this variate from it

i noticed you keep tapping left analog stick while moving. any reason for doing it?

Can't to play this game thanks for all you help nasher

As someone completely new to this, it's like learning a new language. Deke it and toe-drag. I have no idea what it means. I'm having to do actual research just to get a grip on this game. And not to mention face-offs.

As someone new to nhl games no matter how hard i try I can never score any of the skill move shots :(

For the skill stick ?thx

How do you call for the puck/pass?

Are you playing on hybrid controls?

3:59 that’s dope

How do you broad pin yourself with total control

How do you glide and shoot? People online do it so well. I can't figure it out lol

for your next video do a stick review of the bauer proto

NHL 24 actually took back what some players were using for years.

How do you bend down and hit is that hip check

how do you do rebound (without hitting goalie)?

it’s awkward at first you jus have to remember that B (I have an xbox) is to hit someone cause I have pressed B thinking line change and I took a few interference penalties cause of it.

Can you change your skate radius in this game? I want to change my skate radius to 13 inch ones, Not 11's.

How do you go behind the back?

I like them a little challenging but I’m getting better I hit the Michy first try

Had to switch back to skill stick because I kept reverse hitting on accident lol
