Re: Controller vibration not working.

I've never tried it with two controllers. I only have one Elite Controller 2.

I was able to reproduce the problem where I did the whole restart + resync fix, then I turn off the console, then turn it back on with quick resume. It switches me then to blue controller and vibration is gone.

At least for one controller, the consistent fix is doing the restarts + resync and that forces it to select the main controller (red). It'll start showing up blue and green for me after the resync which might also be part of the problem in the code. (Seems like it detects there are other controllers present?)

For the Devs reading, it doesn't seem to be quick resume as the issue because I can restart the console, then go back into the game with quick resume, resync and it seems to work. It seems like the restarting clears some sort of memory cache for the controller and then resyncing forces it to be cleared.

I’m having browser issues, so I’m replying directly to a comment so it gets here

Just Uninstalling/reinstalling won’t fix the issue, nor will a regular restart.

Need to

1. Uninstall

2. Remove any profile from account (other than main, includes guests)

3. Go to settings->general->sleepmode and startup->full shut-down

4. Unplug xbox completely for 5-10 minutes

5.  Restart console and reconnect controller manually as if it was a brand new controller.

6. Reinstall Game

Any of the other methods/half methods seem to work temporarily and then revert back

last year they said they were looking into it and never answered after that. 

a week ago they said they were able to replicate it and they were looking into it --- now crickets. 

@legionfuller 

This is going to take time. It's also a lower priority when compared to bigger issues so I can't guarantee this is going to be addressed in 23.

What takes time is loading up the game, quitting the game, restarting my console, loading into free skate, and finally plugging in and unplugging my controller before vibration works. 

I dealt with this for the entirety of NHL 22. 

As much as I love the series, I can't spend any more money on it until a basic function like controller vibration is addressed. 

I get that the devs have other priorities, but that's not an acceptable excuse anymore considering all the other issues that have carried over year over year. 

See you on Game Pass.

@EA_AljoThis is a horrendous response to an issue thats over a year old. This game should have something as simple as controller vibration, any random indie $10 dollar game in the shop has working vibration.

And this seems to be one of the most constantly talked about issues, there are 4 topics on this forum alone filled with people asking for this to be addressed.

Its also worth noting, the glitch itself isn’t just a vibration issue, its directly related to the phantom controller issue which is causing many other in-game problems.  They need to fix the phantom controller issue asap. 

@thenarddog01 

The phantom controller issue is also being investigated. 

good lord, we are almost in 2023 and we are hoping that a multimillion dollar franchise is able (or willing) to fix a bug like this... :D crazy

That is pathetic.

What fixes it for me is plugging the controller into the xbox while I'm playing (sometimes have to do it twice). The controller vibrations will be back and then you can even disconnect and they'll stay fixed for a while. Eventually they glitch out again. I find it's also accompanied with button lag (when the vibration isn't there)

@Lemanski83 

Are you saying there is no lag when the controller is plugged in and vibration is working?

can anyone confirm if this is just an issue with the elite 2 controller or is there no vibration in regular controllers also ? 

would like to know before i go buy a regular controller

@legionfullerVibration works on my older controllers with no issue

Series Elite 2 is my problem as well

@Dangler6196 

Thanks for the update. Appreciate it 👍

@EA_Aljo To add to this; when this happens (lose vibrations + button delay), I would go into something like ProAM, plug the controller in and it usually comes back. SOMETIMES it doesn't and I notice that in those cases the controller selection shows me as the blue controller (with a red one there as well). I only have 1 controller on. When it does work, it'll just show me the red controller. 

@Lemanski83 

Thanks for the additional details. 

The only work around for now  to get vibration for me to work was,

I go into Play now, right when you select your teams i hold the xbox button to disconnect the controller,

then turn on controller it and now the red controller becomes the 1st one and vibration works.
