Icing has something to do with too many of your guys on one side of the ice, while the puck crosses over a line, or touching the puck by your opponent’s goal when the opposite team is on your side of the ice.
I think, but Im not positive. I only learned from NHL 16 a few months ago.
icing is when you send the puck across 2 or more red lines and the opposing team touches it before you, it’s basically you dumping it into their zone from yours and they touch first, this rule is disabled only if your on the penalty kill. anything else you want to know? I play hockey so I know the rules
I actually play nhl 16 as defensemen and goalie. In 16 they were both broken. First the puck might as well be green and say spalding it bounces everywhere it shouldn’t. 5 players can make contact with 1 player and he can still manage to maintain possesion because he shifted his balance and he’s apparently made of rubber. You can glitch goal the goal by holding back your stick and doing a toe drag so he drops to his pads automatically leaving the upper corner open. Its doesn’t matter what build you pick the goalie will drop to his pads on most shots without hitting a button and then the other team will get a goal because he remained standing because you assume hes going to drop. When you move the stick to extend your arm back to your pads you go. Then there’s the one timer pass that magically transports through 3 players skates and sticks. Then theres the shot rebound that always lands directly back on the same players stick no matter where he shoots from. You can now tie up in front of the net so at least there’s a little hope for defense because in 16 it was a penalty which doesn’t make sense because its a legal maneuver. Icing is when you dump the puck behind the other teams net before you’ve reached half ice and they retrieve it first. The play is dead and they get the next faceoff in your zone closest to your goalie on which ever side the puck was dumped. Fix your busted game ea, stop trying to make a new one each year that doesn’t address the problems the last one had.
