ahh, I get you. Well when you're in a slide, NO braking has an effect, which is why you should threshhold brake if you don't have ABS. But yeah, you're right that if the wheels are locked, engine braking doesn't have an effect - - -of course, the engine isn't braking the wheels at that point anyway because they aren't rolling. Shifting into neutral won't have an effect either.
