Remapping Elite 2 Is Controller for NHL
Just purchased a new Xbox Elite 2 controller in the hope it lasts longer than a few months. It's always the left stick that gets stick drift and I'm putting it down to constantly clicking it playing ...

Nice thing is you can unmap buttons as well. I got sick of the stupid reverse check going off when trying to shoot, so...umapped the right thumbstick click down option and now it no longer goes off. I just quickly switch to a separate profile using a simple push of the profile button on the controller when I need to use that right thumbstick click to say, view player stats in the UI. Only thing it cant do is map button combos, which would have been super nice.
@dv8Maker Mappin button combos would be effectively using a macro ie. cheating, no?
the game uses button combos already, so that would really just be reassigning those combo buttons to different options (I'm not suggesting taking the combos and turning them into a single button - though that's precisely what EA did with the total controls, so again, is it really a macro if EA is already doing it?). So for example, instead f holding LB and pushing down on the right stick, how about hitting LB and X. Technically you can do that by reassigning the right click to the X button on the elite, but with the current functionality that would change all of the right click functions, and I would like the option to just assign each skill a unique reassignment or combo.
that being said, I did make hip checking on skill stick a LOT easier by mapping the LB and the right click buttons to a couple paddles, so now to hip check I just have to click the two paddles after lining up a check. However, it would be much more ideal for us to be able to map the controller any way we see fit for our preferred gameplay. Not sure why EA has hard coded the buttons in the manner they did.
