2 years agoThere is a desperation clear. Tap up twice on the right stick.

@EA_Aljo The desperation controls only work if you are being bumped as it happens. By that same regard, you can also desperation shoot too as a forward so again I say this shouldn't be changed. The desperation controls are ONLY ACTIVE when you are in a bumped state. The exception to this being practice mode where it does what I think it should do in game and can be activated from anywhere on the ice.
- hiperay2 years agoNew Ace@EA_Aljo If you have control of the puck it is no longer a desperation move then, it is just a wrist shot in a certain direction. I thought the desperation moves were in relation to the last chance puck movement introduced in last years game since thats when these controls were added to the controls tab... am I missing something here?

It's considered a desperation because it's immediately being shot down the ice. Like I said, you can see this listed in the controller settings. Just give it a try and let me know what you think. It's worked very well for clearing the zone on the PK for me.
- hiperay2 years agoNew Ace@EA_Aljo yeah I know where the controller listing is for it as I knew it was added to the tab only last year with the introduction to last chance puck movement. What I don't get is where this is "activated" at because it looks no different from when you hit up once on the stick to trigger the wrist shot out of the zone. Hitting up a second time during that animation doesn't change anything from what I saw in testing when in control of the puck.

Yep. That's my mistake. I was messing around with it some more and you're right. Apologies for that. I just noticed it recently and have been using this to clear the zone. It felt like it was giving more length to my clears, but it must have just been a placebo effect. At any rate, we're aware of the feedback on clearing the puck. It's possible changes could be made in a future update.
