Coaching controls allow you to define strategies and lines. The game includes a basic control mode which uses the face buttons for all actions, and an advanced mode which uses the trigger buttons to modify the actions of the face buttons, allowing for a greater variety of movements. The game includes play-by-play commentary from LA Kings announcer Bob Miller.
