Hands: Deking, hand-eye, and puck control. Passing: The accuracy of your passes and likelihood of them getting through traffic. Skating: Acceleration, speed, agility, balance, and endurance which are said to be the same across the board but again referring back to the height & weight – you will notice differences between the player types. Shooting: Your shooting power and accuracy for both wrist shots and slap shots. You will notice that all players have the same “skating” rating, but the smaller lighter players are faster and the bigger heavier players generally have better stability and hitting – as you would expect. Height & Weight: Not exactly classified as an “attribute” in the game however, both do act as modifiers on attributes such as speed and body checking.

To anyone familiar with hockey you likely already have a general understanding of what each attribute is referring to however, with new players always entering the series I’ll cover each one and what micro-attributes are associated with them based on the actual player info for official players in the game. A team of all snipers may sound pretty great in theory but playing in a 6v6 game against any balanced team, that actually knows what they are doing, you will most likely get crushed(literally and figuratively).įirst, we’ll cover what makes up each player class and then we’ll list out the pros/cons/tips for each one individually. There is no “best” class per se, but there likely is a best class for you so keep your on-ice tendencies in mind as we go through the attributes and each player types pros, cons, and tips.ĭon’t forget, the best team is a balanced one where each player class works to their strengths. I sometimes see people ask “ what is the best player class?”. UPDATE: Check out our new NHL 19 World of Chel and EASHL Player Class Guide! The purpose of this guide is to help you choose the EASHL player class that best suits your play style in NHL 18 and most importantly you have more than 45 seconds to compare them 🙂
