Hey guys,anybody else have issues with the vibration? The controller vibration does not work at all, tried with two controllers same issue for both. Seems like a similar issue to last years issue.
Edit: Seems like an issue with the Elite Controller 2 - works only when during game when I manually disconnect it and connect back. EA needs to fix this.
I'm also having this same issue with the elite controller 2. It was an issue for me in NHL22 as well. Hard resets of the Xbox do not fix the issue, and trying the disconnect and reconnect in the select teams page only changes my controller from player 3 (green) to player 2 (blue) but cannot get to player 1 (red).
I’ve been having this issue since nhl 22 as well with regular series x controllers. Sometimes a hard reboot to my console fixes it, but most of the time there’s no vibration at all. I thought this was a known issue so I assumed a fix was being worked on, but here we are in 23 and it’s still an issue
I'm also having issues with the Elite 2 controller. Same issue as last year.
It seems that it's easily reproducible after playing the game and you put the console to sleep for a bit, come back (e.g. next day) and fire up the game again. Even closing the game instead of the Xbox quick resume doesn't seem to fix it.
Seems like the issue is when the controller is reconnecting back after sleep, the game thinks it's another controller connecting. Usually I'd see Player 1 and 2 (red and blue) available on the screen but my controller is selected as Player 3 (green).
Fix in the past has been to shut the console down altogether and then reconnect the controller upon starting up. Not always consistent of a fix which is pretty frustrating. I have a feeling NHL 23 is reusing code from NHL 22 so I'll see if I can do that fix tomorrow.
I’ve been troubleshooting Xbox One and NHL 23 controller settings and it’s not the settings or battery.
This has been an issue since NHL 22 and instances in 21 I’ve heard of.
EA has still not patched this bug. Controller still vibrates for NHL 19 when shooting and hitting etc.
Is this going to be fixed or do we just have to deal with it? Seems like some folks with this problem in ‘22 said EA never bothered or planned on fixing this bug.
NHL 23 just came out yesterday though, so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
Community ManagerHey, @crossbar19
You had posted this in the NHL 22 forum so I moved it to the NHL 23 thread on this issue. I have reported it to the dev team and will relay any details I get here. Thanks!
@Initialize_0789 it seems only the red one (team selection) has vibration?
ahhh the blue one too, the others not... when i play with a friend couchcoop its a mess, i dont get red and blue ☹️ sometimes we have yellow or purple or green with no vibration at all... what is this??? we live in 2022 and EA releases a game with more bugs than new content?! Every problem/bug/missing content posted here or in the general forum i have too. It´s crazy, this is beta state... and this for a game that is simply the same a last years... Madden was a mess but now we have it on NHL too? wow wtf

@xRixx666x
Yes only the red one has vibration.
Is this issue only happening on Xbox One's and not Playstations?
Update: able to reproduce the problem and come up with a fairly consistent fix. Which sort of points to the problem already (surprised the devs haven't figured this out?)
Fix (seems to work for me - need more testing to see how consistent)
1. Restart of console (not "turn off console". It seems that the XB Series X "turn off console" is more of a sleep mode unless you actually pull the power plug)
2. Start NHL 23
3. In the game, when it comes to the controller selection, resync the controller (press the connect button on the console and controller).
4. After resyncing, your controller is finally the red controller.
I did this last year for NHL 22 and it seemed to work. So I'm pretty certain it's the devs reusing code.
EA, please make it a priority to patch the game for the controller issue! It's been over a year already!
Edit: for Devs, I have the latest game updates, latest firmware, latest console updates. Everything's been updated. Every other game works fine EXCEPT NHL 22 and NHL 23. No problem on other EA games using Frostbite either (e.g. Battlefield 2042) - I don't have FIFA or Madden so I can't check either.
