Stick Handling
@EA_Aljo In NHL24, maneuvering the stick, particularly on breakaways or 1v1 situations, is less fluid and much more prone to unintended results than in years past. I understand puck protect is now ...

I am in the same boat. My teammates use stride dekes and toe drags in close proximity, and I'm more of a quick L/R deke guy, so they aren't having the same issues I am. I'm sure I've annoyed them to hell and back with my questions and complaints regarding the R stick up close, so I appreciate that others who play similarly are having the same issues. At the very least, it helps me confirm it's not just me.

Community ManagerI think it's a combination of how I play as well as changes to the controls. I really don't know if changes are coming to improve this. There already were updates to this so that clicking down on the right stick doesn't trigger as often as before, but it's still an issue for me, but at least it's improved. I'm just going to keep trying to adapt to the changes for now.

Turbo/protect has been mapped to a paddle underneath for me for the past 3 years, so that isn't an issue for me. Although he does continue the protect mechanic longer than I'm holding it, on the replay he's clearly protecting it but I have let go several secs earlier.
i would record a clip but it would only be helpful if that feature that showed which buttons were being pressed was still available. Then you could see 100% certainty that protect was not being held. But the movements with the stick feel as if it is

I would love for the controller overlay to return. This needs to be rebuilt for the Frostbite engine. There just have been bigger priorities to handle so hopefully, we'll have this back in a future game.
