Timing a One-Timer

How frustrating is it to whiff a perfectly setup one-timer that would have given you the lead and won you the game? I cant tell you how many times this happen to me and I would slam the controller in frustration. There are two things that can make you miss a one-timer; a bad pass and a late swing. You cant do anything against a bad pass to a one-timer. EA put in bad passes as a way to make the games more interesting and add a little randomness to the mix. Sometimes when making a pass it will just be off target and your player will just whiff it; nothing really you could have done differently. It may be based on your players skill level or whatever; it just happens so let it slide. But what about when your player just stands there without swinging and freezes like an idiot and lets the puck cross right in front of him? This time you can do something about it. The problem was you hit up on the right stick too late. As soon as you pass it, hold the right stick up. It should almost feel like one motion. Pass then immediately hold up on the shoot stick. This doesnt mean you have to aim at the same time you shoot. Aiming registers when your player hits the puck, so you have a second longer to aim your shot.
Be sure to read the post on aiming so that your shots dont end up hitting the glass behind the goal.
