Re: NHL 22 Controller Vibration Issue

I checked some solution for this and it worked.

I turned my PS4 off, I pluged my controller to the PS4 with USB cable, then I turned it on by PS button and then I ran the NHL. Next, I made sure the vibrations in Accessability > Controller Accessability (Main Menu) are ON and then I saved the Gameplay Preset by giving it a name. Then I made sure (in More > Settings > Controller Settings) the vibrations are ON. And finally, I went to Play Now and ran a game against CPU to check if this works. IT IS! You can unplug the USB cable.

I would say I can enjoy the game with vibrations again (Versus and EASHL mode), but they are noticeably weak. Three times weaker than in NHL 21. My controller barely vibrates when I hit an opponent.

I hope it's helpful for everyone. And I hope the EA team will fix the vibrations soon and will make them stronger like they were in previous NHL games, because they are really weak.

    Hi there, @MiIczar 

    Thanks so much for the suggestion! Hopefully, it helps others with the same issue. I'm going to accept your workaround as a solution and sticky it for better visibility.

    don't use vibration or any sort, cause its drains batteries faster, go out and buy batteries chargers for controllers for PS5 and xbox series x.

  • How can you declare this issue solved?? Still no vibration. Clearly there was minimal testing done by EA if any..

    PLEASE UPDATE THE COMMUNITY  if you are still working on a PERMANENT SOLUTION or have you considered this issue solved? Because it is not.

    The game is honestly un playable until you guys resolve this. For a $100 game that’s just unacceptable.

    The only thing that comes to my mind is unsaved preset. Are you sure you use the saved preset? Or maybe you didn't save it. If not, go to Settings Accessibility, set vibration to ON, press R3, name it, save it.

    Make sure the vibration is ON in Setting Accessibility (main menu, tab FOR YOU), in Settings > Controller Settings (main menu, tab MORE) and then also in WOC/HUT Settings > Controller Settings.

    From the day I set it up (now it's 7th or 8th day I guess), it works for me all the time. For my friends too.

    PS5 playing PS4 version. Vibration in 1 of 5 games…

  • XBox Series X

    Elite series 2 works only when manually:

    1) Start game

    2) During this time disconnect gamepad from system and after connect back

    3) Choose firs one red or second blue...

    4) Done...all works as needed

    Need patch!

    Oh... My guide is for PS4 :/
    I'm sorry.

    @Greyinsi
    Two of my friends play on PS5 and they have vibration without doing anything. But what is funny, they turned the vibration off, because they don't like the haptic thing in dualsense playing NHL.
  • Yesterday after November SX system & Elite Series 2 update....vibration totally is gone on NHL22!

    As usual many ghost controllers when starting game

    And no manual as I write before

    EA....please FIX this for me and us 🙂

    Back to NHL 21 for now

  • I haven’t been playing for over a month because of this bug and I have tried just about everything that I know to do I have series 2 controllers and I’ve tried multiple controllers, I tried turning off my Xbox and turning it back on, I tried restarting my Xbox, I tried plugging in my controller, I checked to see if my controller needed an update, and nothing has worked I’ve been playing NHL for years ever since NHL 12 and I haven’t had an issue like this one time and with all of the other bugs that the game has this is one of the worst NHL games by far 22 has been an absolute joke of a game with how many issues and bugs that it’s had and I really like the game otherwise but there are some pretty big bugs and I know that it takes time to fix these issues and I want is for them to be fixed in a timely manner and that’s not a month plus hopefully this will get fixed sometime soon I love play NHL and this bug has completely ruined my experience playing

    Agree totally

    Same here

    Awaiting patch but EA stay QUIET!

    Terrible...very upset this way 🙂

  • December patch fixes Elite2 vibration/ghost problem?

    Will check later on today 

    Addon: all same - no changes

    Bad feelings

  • Add me to the list of upset EA customers. I truly enjoyed the NHL series since 95 but I gave up on EA Sports before the XBox One came out. I decided to give them a chance with the new XBox Series X/S and they continue disappoint. I walked away from EA before and I will do it again.

    I skipped EA  Battlefield V and BF 2042. I also started buying the EA NHL game on 60% sale in December the last 3 years. Before I always bought it the first day, but its always 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. Some improvements and some new bugs, like this vibration issue.

    @Corrptd1 

    Unfortunately, we don't have any updates on this. I'm assuming that at this point it won't be addressed for 22. If there is any news, that will be relayed here.

  • @EA_Aljo So are you guys offering refunds for the game? It's pretty hard to believe the game has been out for about a year and NO ONE from EA bothered to fix a simple vibration bug. Unacceptable really.

    @Corrptd1 

    If it were that simple, chances are excellent it would have been addressed by now. You can check to see if a refund is possible by contacting the retailer the game was purchased from.

  • I have the same problem, but in nhl 23, how is this kind of thing acceptable from such a game. By the way, I loaded nhl 22 back just to see and it work all fine on this one. That is so dumb from ea to be honest.
