Re: Can no longer do slap shots

I did briefly try a slap shot in practice and it seemed to work. I can't remember if it was one of those times where it briefly works after resetting the controller config to default again though.

I am quite familiar with slap shots actually. One timers are a big part of my game. And now I can no longer do them...or really shoot at all. Basically the game is unplayable right now.

Very frustrated!  So far:

- different controller, same issue

- uninstalled/reinstalled the game, same issue

What is left to try?

Can you review your Controller Settings and verify your Controls are set to Skill Stick?  I'm wondering if this setting got changed by accident.

Glad, but not glad, I found this post. I am experiencing the same issue too. Thought it may be my controller, got a new one from GameStop, and still doing the same thing, just as the OP described: it works for a couple of minutes at beginning of the game, but then goes away. You pull back to do a slap shot, and it like 'freezes' and doesn't allow the follow through. It almost 'locks up the player'. The only way I can shoot now is with a wrist shot.

I've also noticed that controller vibrations are stronger since this issue started to happen with slapshots. I've restarted my XBox One and am fully updated on software.

This is happening in franchise mode and signed in btw, if that matters. Haven't tried in other modes yet or as a guest, but will soon. I'll also try and take a video and try to upload it so you can see it in action.

Switching to another profile on my Xbox was my solution. For whatever reason, the slap shot only existed on my main profile.

I only play online head to head games and that is where my issue was/is.
