Please allow us to remove the reverse hit from R3. It is a terrible experience... I have seen so many instances of breakaways ending in a guy hitting the air.

Just use my newly bought ps4 controller and the reverse hit was constantly activated. The R3 was so sensible that it activated constantly....Wish there is an option to disable the reverse hit like in the new patch with the controls for goalies...

Hey, @fordisthebest12 I'm very happy to report that reverse hit has been removed from R3 for NHL 25 🙂

Hey, everyone. This is an issue we're looking in to. We'll provide an update when we have some news.

@EA_AljoThats the very thing about it Aljo, you should NOT need to remap your L3 at all, even yourself is admiting it is highly annoying...L3 was perfectly fine and they decided, all of a sudden, to impose that dumb change on us without asking the players and without a single alternative to who ever prefer the previous controls.Since bringing it back to a face button with proper tuning is a supposedly impossible mission, add a disable option, just that, it cant be that hard to make and you wont hear of me anymore.Why cant they just follow the L3 standard ...Move+Running/speed boost, thats it. Instead of changing something that wasnt broken. jeez..I dont get that obsession of ''you play under my terms'' and nothing else. Giving more customisation is always welcome, not one person will ever complains agaisnt that. More enable/disable option added for such things as protect puck, reverse hit, pressure meter appearance on the ice, smart passes (dont remember the real name) icons, different type of players icons AKA circle or the good old triangle above the head, etc...I'm not even one that complain a lot actually, I can live with most issue in the game and all the RNG....But when it come to the very most important aspect of the game, the controls, I cant just wipe it aside, full control of our guy and hands mean everything in this game... I cant tell loud enough how annoying it is particularly one on one with the goalie, going for a rather simple left and right dekes and that obnoxious protect puck trigger to screw up everything just because I accidentally pressed the stick a little too hard.. Rest in Peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. 😥

Never had this problem eith thr old leg kick/fake shots; would love to be able to remap this

As far as I know, the controls haven't changed otherwise. I'm pretty sure we don't want to bring back protecting the puck and backskating (LT'ing) like we had previous to NHL 24. That was a huge complaint from those in the community not abusing that mechanic since it allowed for some pretty unrealistic skating.

@EA_Aljo is this a optional change? I personally didn't mind the reverse hit on R3.
