The following are general descriptions of the advanced offensive controls.

Probably your best chance for scoring is the One Timer. To perform a One Timer, pass
the puck to an open teammate who is ready to shoot. After passing the puck ( ),
immediately hit the shoot button 

to do a slap shot.. If you time it right, you have a

great scoring chance.

Here the offensive player could take the shot
one on one.

But instead, he gives up the puck to a trailer
down the center of the rink with a quick
pass( ). 

The trailer gets the puck and immediately fires
off a quick shot (tap  ) for the goal.

NHL 2K has three offensive coaching strategies that change the way your players act
on the ice. They cover everything from the way you break out of your own end to the
way you set up around the defense in the offensive zone. The three offensive strategies
are Passive, Normal, and Aggressive.

Passive (Positional Play):  
The Passive coaching strategy (also known as Positional
Play) is a conservative offensive scheme and is the
c o rnerstone of any hockey team. It is a good
choice when you’re trying to protect a lead. The
two forw a rds will alternately attack the net.
While one forw a rd is attacking the net,
the other will be holding back
and thinking defensively.
