Protecting the puck while skating
How do you protect the puck in NHL 24? In NHL 23 the X button worked. With NHL 24 the X button protects the puck but the player releases the puck once I let go of the X button. Especially helpful ...

It's not particularly hard but weird for sure but for one, it's pretty bad for the stick itself to hold it down while moving it around. Next time your stick start drifting, don't question yourself on how it happened, it's right there. And secondly, my actual problem with it is on too many occasions it use protect puck instead of the skill stick when you go for a push around a player or near the net and thats pretty annoying.
X-box player here. The A button was for protecting the puck, for years. Suddenly, it's gone and old habits die hard, especially for a 60 year old man. At least give us the option to map the controls. I prefer NHL23 over this game that was $70. Can't get updated rosters for that. I've been a faithful user of this product since it's inception, played many different formats. PC, PS, and X-box. Each year is more disappointing than the previous year, yet I keep buying it. I guess one of these years I'll stop.
