How do you reverse hit in NHL 24? The NHL 24 early access period is well underway, and fans playing the game are hard at work, grinding their favorite modes and soaking in the newest features. Front and center for a lot of the biggest changes to the new game, is that of the gameplay itself. And fans who have been on the receiving end of some big hits when skating with the puck, might be curious how they can give the opposing defenders a dose of their own medicine by using the reverse hit control in NHL 24.

With the official NHL 24 release date taking place tomorrow, fans are eager to get a feel for the ins and outs of the new gameplay, particularly with the new physics-based contact feature added to the hitting mechanics this year. And though many enjoy shelling out big hits on defense, others on offense are trying to avoid turning the puck over when taking on body checks, and knowing how to reverse hit in NHL 24 will help with achieving just that.

NHL 24 how to reverse hit

Here’s how to reverse it in NHL 24:

Before you attempt to pull off the reverse hit, there’s a couple of key tips you will want to keep in mind. The first is that the gliding factor is really important to have in place before then tapping R3 to execute the reverse hit. If you’re not gliding on the ice or choose to perform a different type of skating function, the reverse hit control won’t work.

In addition, the Right Stick in NHL 24 has multiple different purposes. So should you not tap down on the R3 control correctly, you will execute a different action and won’t be in position to perform a reverse hit. So as soon as you attempt to complete one, be sure you tap the control.

To top it off, timing your use of the reverse hit function is just as important as hitting the R3 control. If you do so too early or too late, you won’t be applying it properly and will continue to endure tough body checks that will thwart your offensive attacks. So from gliding, to timing, to making sure you tap the control, completing a reverse hit isn’t as easy as it looks and requires some practice.
