NHL 21 Guide - How to Do Decks, Win Battles & Earn HUT Coins
NHL 21 has a lot of fun and interesting moves to make. Dekes are part of this selection and many new varieties need to be created. First, let's take a look at Nikita Kucherov's Nikita Kucherov's The Kucherov from Tampa Bay Lightning. This is a unique fake, which is also not too difficult to make. Just press L1 / LB and move the left stick to the left or the right stick to the right.
There are also Briefs, Chips and Banks that can help create space, among other things. Use the left plank stick to slide out and press L1 / LB. To receive a chip, hold L1 / LB while skating and press R1 / RB. Take advantage of this when trying to pass a defender on open ice.
The benches allow you to pass the disk with the planks to each other. Ordinary benches can be done close to the boards by holding L1 / LB and pressing R2 / RT. With network banks, make sure you stand behind the goal. Hold L1 / LB and press L2 / LT.
How to start (and win) battles
It wouldn't be hockey without the fight breaking out. Just press Triangle / Y to start a fight. The same prompts can be used to accept a fight. It is of course also possible to start a fight by checking the opponent's body or by firing at the goalkeeper after the shot has been taken.
Before starting the battle, remember the player who is being sent for scrap. Avoid using the best players as they have a five minute break. Also, don't get hit just like that, as this will quickly deplete your stamina. Instead, dodge and block your opponent's attack, find a way out if you are out of breath and untie him. If you successfully win the fight, you will receive energy supply for your team.
How to earn coins on HUT
If you've played Ultimate Team in FIFA or Madden, playing HUT in NHL 21 is quite similar. You earn HUT 21 coins that you can spend on items such as consumables, player items, packs, and so on. Points are bought with real money and also used to purchase packs. To go through the HUT you basically need a steady income in coins, but luckily the tips for earning them are the same.
First you have to go through the different challenges as they are very easy to complete and can offer a large number of packs. Consumables and coins can also be earned this way. Also take part in square battles - these are offline matches against other HUT teams, and they also offer packs and coins if you win.
Online HUT matches are the next step. The number of coins you earn depends on your performance in the match and your score (less coins lose in the net). In addition to currency, match completion is also used to earn cards and packs. Keep an eye on Milestones and HUT Goals, as well as Daily Goals and any special tasks for even more ways to earn NHL 21 Coins. Finally, don't be afraid to look at the Auction House.
As always, you want to find good cards, buy them and turn them over for a chance to win. Wholesale cards are also possible, but not that lucrative. Stick to decent cards and look for opportunities to sell them.
