You have likely heard of World of Chel by now, it’s a major addition to the NHL series for 19 and is basically an expansion of the EASHL from past iterations. If you or your friends haven’t been using it much, then practice with it now, and they will think you’re a god next time you play them 😀 World of Chel Player Builds I can’t stress enough how beneficial it will be for you all to practice using vision control. You can skate backward towards your opponent, which means you are protecting the puck and if they try to poke check you at all then it will be an instant penalty. The poke-checking and tripping changes for NHL 19 make vision control even more effective.

Hitting and stick lifts are much more relevant in NHL 19. Now, you might be asking well if I can’t spam poke-check then how should I defend? It is almost an automatic penalty.įor the in-depth details on how the logic works check out my NHL 19 poke-checking PSA post, we’ll cover some more examples below though.Īt first it might feel like they went overboard with the tripping penalties, but after a handful of games you will be used to it and can take advantage of all the other players still trying to figure out 😀 Hitting and Stick lifts In short, if your poke-check needs to go through the opponent’s legs AT ALL to get to the puck then do NOT attempt a poke-check. If you played NHL 18 or any of the past few NHL’s you will likely find that in NHL 19 you’re spending a lot of time in the penalty box, you will need to adapt quickly to the new poke-checking and tripping logic.
