Forehand Stickhandling Accidentally Taking a Fake Shot

Product: NHL 24
Platform:Xbox Series X
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Grimmer9
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have seen a Reddit form with other people with this issue, and they even have a video to show what's happening; https://www.reddit.com/r/NHLHUT/comments/170dxco/just_doing_a_simple_leftright_move_and_it_looks/
What happens when the bug occurs? Every time my character has the puck and I push the right stick to the left my character ends up performing a fake shot. I am not pushing the right stick in, but only to the left (9 o'clock). It doesn't matter where I am on the ice or what the situation is, when I push my right stick to try and stickhandle towards my forehand the game decides to fake a shot. I have tried different controllers on my Xbox, and I had a friend come over and try using my controller to see if maybe I am accidentally pushing in the right stick, but he was having the same issues. Pushing the right stick to the left = fake shot for my WoC character during any 6v6 club game. This also occurs in any WoC 6v6 drop-in game.
What do you expect to see? Pushing the right stick to the left should just put the puck on my character's forehand (lefty), and not perform a fake shot.

  • Hi there, @Grimmer9 

    Unfortunately, this isn't a bug. It's part of the changes to the skill stick controls since the fake shot was moved to clicking down on the right stick. It's incredibly annoying. The best I can advise is to go into the controller settings on your Xbox and disable right stick clicking. Personally, I have an Elite Pro controller and have moved the right stick click to use one of the paddles. That has resolved this and stick handling is fine. I really wish this were a bug because I miss the old controls.

  • Thank you for the quick reply, I guess I'm still a little confused because I'm not clicking down on the right stick for the fake shot. All I'm doing is just moving the right stick to the left and it will perform a fake shot. Also, moving the right stick to the right is just fine and no issues. I'm using the same skill stick controls as NHL 23 and it didn't give me this issue then. Unless you're saying that maybe the right stick is a little too sensitive to just move to the left and it's registering a push in?

    What you're most likely doing is accidentally clicking down on the right stick. What you could try doing as a test is disabling right stick clicking in the controller settings as I mentioned. If it stops occurring, that's what is happening.

  • I switched my buttons over and it seemed to have worked, no more fake shots. Unfortunately I had to switch it with one of the D-pad keys since I do not have paddles, but it’ll do until they add a full disable feature for Xbox controller buttons. Thank you for your help!
