Re: Skater freezes when he gets possession of the puck

Thank you for the feedback. I know you're right, that's exactly what's happening.

Still it would be nice if EA Sports would do something about it software-side, buffing the effect of the right stick drift instead of just having players buy new controllers for their specific game. I'm a développer myself and I know it could be done, but they won't bother.

There are so many simple fixes they could do to make NHL good again but I doubt they care since they have no competition. Game killing bugs are just one of them.

Thanks for community answers. Not so much to EA.

I understand you but it's hard to blame EA on that one for cheap products from other compagnies, its up to Microsoft and Sony to make conttrolers drifting-less, it's ridiculous the amounts of controllers I'm going through lol.

Yeah I guess the only way to avoid this to happen again is to give some slack to the right stick sensibily so the drift doesn't trigger as easily. It happened more this year to me than any previous years combined though, so maybe they changed something that create this issues to happen more often. Hope they can find out a solution just like with the ''can't pass the puck anymore'' bug.

Cheers!

I'm glad you figured out what was causing this. I really don't see how we are to blame when the issue is actually with the controller. Building a feature to counteract this is good in theory, but I would imagine it's not as simple as it seems. It's also something that affects only those with a broken controller who will most likely get it repaired or replaced since this would be happening with every game and app so is it worth all the time and resources it would take to build and test this? Regardless, I'm glad the cause has been determined. Please reach out again if you have any other issues.
