Every play is a shape, not five guys on spots. Watch the animation, then read "How it actually moves" to see who rotates and who fills in.

Roles
We always attack up the screen. Our net is at the bottom, theirs is at the top. Blue = us, red = them.
How to do it
Best used when
Pick your control setting above. Total Control only has one-button dekes, so many moves aren't available in it. The stick path flips when you switch between left and right shot. Every input was checked in November 2026 against EA's NHL 27 controller diagrams, NHL 27 guides, and EA's official control lists from earlier games where NHL 27 doesn't document a move. Moves marked (verify) only have older or player-reported sources.
