Community ManagerThank you for the feedback. It's absolutely appreciated. I too am very disappointed with moving controls to clicking down on the sticks. It's had a dramatic impact on my own gameplay. I'm trying to develop a lighter touch, but it's been a challenge for sure. I definitely like that abusing LT isn't happening, but unfortunate it comes at the expense of adding these controls. I hope a better solution can be found in the future.
Edit: One thing I can't agree with is returning puck protect to A/X. Well, unless it received some tuning so it couldn't be used with backskating as it was previously. That was one of the biggest complaints we had for the last few years. Removing this ability has been well received, but of course many are unhappy with moving it to its current location. I'd prefer to have the option to disable that altogether since I don't see myself getting used to using it by clicking down on the stick. It's just awkward and as I mentioned, I'm hitting it too frequently by accident.
@EA_Aljo
Just noticed the ''edit'' part. I'm no expert in that kind of stuff but, what make clicking on a stick any different than clicking on A/X? serious question.
Isnt just a different button assignment at the end of the day? Yet they have the same purpose, right?
I'm honestly not sure to understand the difference.
Just like you, I'm quite unhappy with it and your idea of literally have the option to disable it would be perfectly fine with me, I barely remember the last time I made use of it.
@EA_Aljo
Yes I know but what I meant to ask is, isnt holding down L3 the same as holding down A? Different button same result, no? Guess it has something to do with the need to use right stick to actually use protect puck.
Or couldnt they make it that if you hold down A it deativate the use of L2 for the time being. Just so you can't use both button at the same time...@EA_Aljo
Definitly harder but not impossible. As far as I know though, the puck protect activate when you press L3 but the animation only happen if you use your right stick now unlike before it was always ''on'' depending on the direction you were going. Oh well.
Anyway just hope they can come up with an alternative way to use it or like you said maybe the possibility to disable it. ✌
Edit: Oh and if they can't manage a way to move reverse hit from R3, the option to disable it too would be nice. Why would I need reverse hit on a 120lbs all wet sniper heh.
