Then on the 4th line they have Brett Ritchie way down at 65 faceoff rating.

Real Team Example: Dallas Stars have Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza, and Cody Eakin as their top 3 centermen – all with 82 faceoff rating. When it comes to the ideal faceoff team in NHL 17, being realistic, you would want at least 1 really good faceoff man(87+) to use in super critical situations, 2 above average faceoff men(80-ish), and then who cares about the 4th one… If you are using your 4th line in any sort of critical situation then you’re doing it wrong. In some cases the average and the median can be the same like in the first example however, the median is less affected by drastically low or high numbers – which is why I’m using it instead of the average. Quick math lesson(things I never thought I’d say) for those who have forgot the difference between median and average or maybe never knew it – don’t worry, no shaming here… unless you think Football is more exciting to watch than Hockey… then GTFO! Which Football? Doesn’t matter.Īnyways, Median can be thought of as the middle value in a set of numbers – wiki If you already know what median means and don’t care why I chose the team’s faceoff median over average then jump ahead to the best faceoff teams section by clicking: JUMP AHEAD To determine the best faceoff team I used the median faceoff rating of all four default centerman and also included the average overall rating of those players as well. *The following stats are based on the official online rosters, which are required for playing Online Versus. While we can’t change the player attributes(in online play), we can choose our Centermen. I want to ensure that the next time you play your buddy you have a clear advantage and they don’t even know it 😉 You may have already read my How to Win Faceoffs in NHL 17 post, if you did then you know one of the major factors in winning or losing a faceoff is the faceoff attribute of the player you are using, which isn’t exactly human controlled. You may not have realized it, but at least once a goal was scored on you directly due to a faceoff loss and many others that could be traced back to a recent faceoff loss and therefore be partially to blame. At one point or another, faceoffs have lost you a game.
