Adjust button pre/post action delay (touch pass / shooting without puck delay)

One touch pass is broken as the pass button can't be pressed before receiving the pass anymore to one touch the puck to another player.

Shooting after your player DOESN'T receive the puck is active for like 6+ seconds now. Ie. if you are receiving a one-timer pass and you're holding up on the right stick to shoot, but the puck is misses your player, your player will still try to shoot the puck when he gets it for way too long after. This should be automatically cancelled much, much earlier (it was maybe 2sec in NHL22 and even that was too long). 

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

  • I wish they would re-work one touch passes/one timers. It shouldn't fire unless you're holding the button, that way there's no confusion on if it should do the one touch/shoot puck. 

    Ex, if the puck is coming your way and you want to one touch pass it, press and hold the pass button. If you're holding the pass button when your player receives the puck, he will one touch pass it. 

    Same with the shot, if you're not holding the shoot button when your player picks up the puck, you shouldn't shoot it

    The problem with holding in the button is that you'd have a fully charged pass. As far as I know, it's still pressure sensitive so you can adjust the speed of the pass.

    I totally agree with you.

    This is really frustrating and also ruining really good scoring opportunities. Puck is already somewhere else and your player is doing shooting animations.

    Same also if you hit players. You see that puck is not coming to that player what you are going to hit and you cancel hitting but still player hitting that oppononent because you did press hit button few seconds ago.

    @EA_Aljo is it even possible to get adjustable somehow if you guys like to keep it this way 👍

    Can't agree more with you on both the one touch pass and the delay after a missed pass on a auto one timer.

    One touch passes are something I use a lot, it worked flawlessly back then. Now sometimes it work, other time, not really...and it really only work half as good as it used to be only if you press the pass button repeatedly before/while/after receiving the puck just in case one or the other doesnt trigger the pass. And yet, it mostly feel like your guy is picking up the puck then pass it swiftly instead of just taping it toward your teammate. It feel off. To me it was already an issue in nhl22 too, not something new to 23.

    As for the one-timer thing, you explained it perfectly. Its so dumb that when a pass is missed the one-timer stay active for so long after.

    Nothing like going in the corner behind the goalie's line after a missed pass and your guy decide to still take a shot with his back hand for no reason instead of taking possession of the puck again.

    From my personal experience, not so many players seem to use the one touch pass (particularly in drop-in), so its no surprise that its not being reported a lot. For poeples using it regularly though, its pretty obvious that it doesnt work as well as before pre NHL22.
