NHL25 Controls
Hi, I have played NHL since 2006. The skill stick was the best part of the game, and last year in NHL24 they completely ruined it by making puck protect holding left/right on the right stick. And on ...
there was that issue too. however it was easy to avoid because i remapped my controls too.
my problem was really during stickhandling that my player would go into the protect puck animation. this was a widespread issue.
online, you could see that people were doing it all the time. it had nothing to do with accidentally clicking in the stick, since i had remapped that button.
seems like for some reason, when your skater has too much speed, they were unable to stickhandle. it makes the game totally unplayable in my opinion. I know many people that stopped playing because of this new way to engage “protect puck”. and im sure you guys were able to see the drop off if you are following user playing stats
if you would like to get in touch with me privately, i would be happy to do a call to show you the exact issue.
it is worth noting that the issue i witnessed seems to be the exact same issue as the original posted in this thread.
you say that user complained that the old protect puck became an exploit. - just remove it from the game, please dont force people to protect puck when all they want to do is stickhandle
