basically in each line you have a team of 6 players:

1 keeper
2 defence
3 attackers

(put one man in each box)

There are 4 lines (4 different teams if you can manage it) so they dont get tired.

Also, power play is when the opposition is down to 5 players, box play is when you're down to five players, so those can be used for attacking and defensive plays until the player comes back from the sin bin.

Yeah they've done a great job. I was expecting them to dumb it down and it would say something like, 'Put a player here' sort of rubbish lol, but it looks like us hockey fans have no real tactical advantage. Dam! :)

I didnt have a clue, but it was simple enough. For Power Play, your team are one man up, so it would be necassary to play offensive. Whereas in Box Play you are a man down so you probably have to play defensive due to the oncoming onslaught of the opposing team ;)

OK can someone post a screenshot please as I keep on getting invalid players in line 2/3.

I just put someone in goal, one person in each of the two cirles and one person in each of the three rectangles. I have no clue when it comes to hockey. :rolleyes:

hmm preety simple,

line 1 = 1st , 3 match 20mn
line 2 = 2nd , match 20 min
line 3 = 3rd, match 20 min

game is over

some where in this 3 lines there will be opponent players getting fouled and went out of the rink from penalties letting them to have only 5 players on field with the keeper, this is where <<power play come in place>> put all ur best attacker.

if ur the one losing player its <<box play for you>> defensive stance since ur left with only 5 players on the field u probly want to put ur best defensive players on the field.

Put a player in each of the white areas. Do this in every 'line'. Keeper always stays the same.

Box play is for when you have a player 'sent off'. You can sort out a more defensive tactic for when you're a man down.

Try and use a different group of players for each line, as they get tired. Obviously you can keep your best players on 2 or 3 times.

hockey is weird and confusing as you can beat someone 5-0 and then lose 8-0, it needs to be fixed up fully!!!
