NHL 15 Xbox One Cheats and Tips

The most effective way to defend is the poke check. This is basically when you swing your stick at the puck and your opponents stick in an attempt to separate the two. You must be careful though that you don't trip up the oppossing player and pick up penalties as this will lose you the game.

You can adjust your in-game strategies by pressing the left and right directional pads. Learn how to do this proficiently so can easily alter your team's approach based on the situation.

Cross crease passes are a great way to score goals. Try to work the puck into one of the corners or behind the net of your opponents goal and then look for an open teammate for the tap in on the other side of the crease.

Retain possession by cycling the puck and take a shot on goal when the opportunity presents itself. Get your teammates to create traffic in front of goal to confuse the opposition and maybe deflect the puck in.

If you can retain possession and move the puck effectively you will increase your chances of winning the game. Don't go for the low percentage pass up the ice when taking possession of the puck in your own zone as these are easy for the opposition to pick off and counter-attack. Instead look for the open player in your zone and then take advantage of any skating room they may have. Continue to move up ice, always making high percentage passes to gain the blue line.
