Petition to change Spike Ball from button B to button A on Nintendo Switch 2

MADDEN DEVS, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. 
Anyone else, please help this get to the right people.

I've already seen others mention this, but when it comes to the Nintendo Switch 2, the Spike Ball function (which automatically makes the offense go into formation to spike the ball after a play) really should match other platforms and be applied to the right button (A) instead of the bottom button (B). I understand the A is traditionally the select button on Nintendo, but in the case of games like Madden, you need to put it in the location that people are used to on all platforms, which is the right button. And since snapping the ball is in the correct position on Nintendo Switch 2 (B) it makes since to not assign the Spike Ball function to it as well, since most people are used to hitting the B button to hurry up the offense to get to the line and things like that. The amount of times that I have simply pressed the B button once and made my offense go into a Spike Ball formation is very frustrating. I would really appreciate it, if anyone from EA could look into this. Thank you!

  • Please fix the button layout or give us the control to switch the spike ball to another button layout. So frustrating not even fun

  • Thought it was just me. The number of times it spikes and then forces me to burn a timeout is bad...

  • THANK YOU. The Switch's controls are already frustrating, making the bottom button both the hike and the spike button is nonsensical.

    OMG yes. This came up when searching for this exact reason. Horrible button choice. Literally any other button works

  • Spike ball should be something like a shoulder. But, yeah I hit the primary or b button to try to speed up animations and spiked the ball 100 times. I am getting a refund. I hate this game.
