Guide: How to Do All Feints in NHL 21
Butcher79
To win beautifully in NHL 21, you need more than just using fast players and shooting at the first opportunity. Breaking through the defenses requires dexterity and skill, as well as a little bit of luck.
Using feints at the right time can help you get past some strong defenders and attackers and help set up a great game. And if you use the right technique at the right time, it can even help you get the puck past the enemy goaltender and into the net.
NHL 21 has a variety of moves and decks that you can perform, from simpler ones like touch or glide, to more complex ones such as lacrosse (or Michigan) or Kucherov (false blow or no blow). If you're new to the NHL, you might be wondering how to perform all of these different feints in NHL 21. We'll cover all the controls you need to know, as well as some tips on when to use them.
Management in NHL 21
First, let's take a look at the two most basic controls you need to know when performing feints. For many moves in NHL 21, you will need to be able to move the puck from left to right and vice versa. To place the puck in front of you, move the RS/Right stick to the right for right-handed shots and vice versa for left-handed shooters. For a lefthander, slide the RS/Right Stick to the left for righties and vice versa for lefties.
With that said, let's take a look at the Deke controls you should know for NHL 21:
