Why are shots so wonky in nhl 24???
I'll walk in on a breakaway, make a dele, and then shoot only to have my guy flub the puck. Also slap shots rarely happen anymore. I've been playing nhl since inception and the shooting just seems so...

@eom01tqfrl3k The answer to this is such: they've made it so that you can now dump the puck by holding the pass button down and shooting. Therefore, if you're a skilled player who is always holding down the pass button just in case an opportunity arises to do so and then decide to shoot, you'll get a "dump shot" instead of a normal wrister/snap shot.
I figured this out after having the same issues as you.

I always hold down the pass button when I have the puck, because it gives you slightly quicker stick handling.
Are you saying that if i attack the net while holding down pass and then shoot my breakaway, it is not doing a regular shot?
can the community manager confirm this, please

Yes. You get a harder dump when holding in the pass button.

And this is a new feature?
So, we now have to remember to release turbo/hustle before attempting a breakaway and, on top of that, also have to release the pass button...
I don't get why none of this was communicated in any way prior to or at release. There are countless posts about protect puck/turbo being an issue. If this was laid out ahead of time, we would know what to expect. I know there many people still figuring out that protect puck is activating while stick handling if also using hustle; they're wondering why their dekeing feels awkward, and they'll continue to make posts about it.
Many of us have spent hours trying to figure out why certain things feel awkward. I'm just saying that addressing major changes to controls ahead of time would help us all out , and you as well.

As far as I know, it's new.
We did have the community playtest with these same controls. We could have done a better job of relaying those though. Thanks for the feedback.
