Community ManagerHi there, @D1SCOFEVER
Thanks for all the feedback. Regarding cancelling the shot animation, can you give me some more details on this? It's pretty uncommon that I have a shot go off that I wasn't intending. This was a much bigger issue in previous games, but changes were made with 24 to make this a lot less likely. How frequently is this happening to you?
@EA_Aljo I think as far as cancelling shot animations, they mean when you go to hit a rebound but it ricochets into a different direction. As you go to skate towards it, the game remembered you were trying to shoot and as soon as you pick the puck up it shoots a backhand shovel shot from behind the net.
For me, cancelling shots would be more along the lines of faking slapshots into short range passes. Currently the slap pass has to be very far distance away for the player to pick up and cannot be corralled within an offensive zone pass. You can also try the one touch pass which sometimes makes the animation but it seems to be random or at least very situational. This is something often used in the NHL within the powerplay to fake a shot and pass it back door or back to the point for a One timer. It would be nice to see a slap pass that you don't only have the option of redirecting, but one that could be passed to another player for the finish.

That's what I thought about canceling shot animations. In 24, I've rarely had an issue with it. It was very annoying in previous games though. Regardless, I'll pass on your feedback.
I also use one touch passes very frequently. Although, I prefer how they worked in previous games. I like the new slap pass-ish version of them, but obviously, these need to be aimed very well. I've also had them accidentally go off when I don't intend them to. I'd love to see this improved, but it's very possibly more an issue with me.
For slap passes in general, I agree it would be good to have one that didn't always result in a redirect.
Thanks for the feedback.
