Motion controls on Switch(handheld)

I use a pro controller when on TV, and tabletop which works fine.

the motion controls on joycons(handheld) is the problem.

you need to roll the whole console for horizontal aiming/look instead of yaw that you mostly use in games with motion controls on handheld (take BOTW or Warframe for example)

there are few things which gives problem in aiming as well:

- the aiming is auto-calibrating(?) itself, and i have to readjust my aim every time since it moves by itself (checked the joycons itself, and it only happens on apex)

- small adjustments is very crucial for aiming which the game doesn't have. you need to turn the controllers a lot for the motion control to take effect. a small and slow movement on controller wont be registered as a motion input which makes long range aim hard

- the movement of the motion controls while aiming long range is not smooth its like (. . . . . . .) instead of (-----------) which means it only moves point to point and snaps to that point instead of a "flow" movement

i hope my explanation is somehow clear.

thank you for responding

Same issues I encountered with motion controls. I use pro controller mostly. They way I use motion controls is like something that replaces the right analog stick. most of my camera movements and aim is done through motion control and the stick is just for big turns and 180 degree turns. These are my most problematic issues I am facing:

• For no reason, after you steady after a swing of motion, the camera drifts in different direction. this is problematic for sniping to the point that I can't make a hit on longer distance.
• Aim assist destroys the camera position with motion control. (Splatoon doesn't implement aim assist for this reason, Overwatch has aim assist strength and window size option to minimize intervention with motion control)

• The inputs on gyro especially on look and aimdown sight camera movement on gyro doesn't feel straight. I played a lot of fps on switch with gyro but the input on apex feels like shaking and always goes off track.

Two things disappointed me when I tried Apex Legends: #1 - Blood effects (I made a post about this in the feed "Blood," because I will not be playing Apex at all until there is an option to turn off blood. I'm in my upper teens so this is not just a youngin' talking. I know that's not what this feed is about, but please see my perspective in the feed "Blood"! Thank you.) and #2 - Motion controls for Switch. I accidentally started a feed on this without realizing this had already been started. I would love to see a "yaw" or "tilt" option for motion controls as opposed to the current "roll" motion controls (that is, of course, if blood effects get the option to be turned off and I can play at all, lol.)

The game is really well done in the nintendo switch, even tho I have the chance to play it in ps4 with better graphics and better fps, I dont because of the gyro aiming in the nintendo switch makes generally shooter games a whole diferent experience with a sublime aiming system almost compared personally with a pc mouse aiming. My surprise was huge when I realized that apex legends for switch had it indeed but in a rolling mode instead of jaw motion, I was really hyped with this game and I wished with my life it comes with the gyro aiming, because I'm also more than bad with the joystick, but not this way. Actually. I really tried this wheel aiming but it doesnt feels natural and good at all, I appreciate that respawn considered to include the gyro aiming but I really hope they consider to put the one we are begging for because it would make the game experience just more than perfect to play and I know really much people will be really grateful with it.

I like the game and u made a nice job porting it, it will just close the circle if u include this amazing jaw motion control system.

Thanks for your time.

We making any progress on this?

Like some of the others here I don't even play in handheld but the motion controls are just atrocious. The drift compensation is overzealous and makes any distance aiming impossible. 

I've only played for a few weeks but I'm about to quit despite really liking the game. At least until i get a new pc and use a third party program to get some good motion controls that will actually sense small movement, and not instantly * the aim in the opposite direction of whatever i'm trying to accomplish.

Or just remove the feature entirely if you don't plan in fixing it.

Hello, i wanted to say thank you for hearing us and implemented the jaw gyro mode instead of the wheel one, the game feels way better than before and all I can say is THANK U!

By the other hand, I wish u could do the same with the pro controller cause u just did the change for the portable mode and, to be honest, I'm getting kind of blind of spending so much hours with my eyes on that little screen and, to be realistic, the joycons with those tiny analog sticks are not the best to play a shooter at all.. I know u know what I mean.. 

Dont misunderstand me please, I'm really grateful with the change u did after hearing us and what we needed, but I think the game will be way more fun and practical to play if both, handheld and dock, are able to play in the same best way possible, in this case, both with jaw gyro mode, that would be just perfection and u wont hear about me for a while, I promise 😄.

Thanks for your time people, I became a real fan of your game and your creativity ❤.

Thanks for your time and have a nice day ✌🏽
