Intermittent Passing Error

HI there, @dannythetemp 

I'm not seeing other reports of this. Can you get me some video? Also, have you tried using a different controller?

@dannythetemp 

If you could somehow get your controller in the video showing you're hitting the button and passing not working, that would be ideal. I've seen reports of passes not working when holding in RT and stickhandling. Is that when it's happening?

@EA_Aljoso let me get this straight.....if I can "somehow" get a camera angle that includes both the screen and the underside of my controller where the R2 button lives....that would be ideal?

I guess "ideal" is the right word, but I'm not sure that's "feasible" or "a realistic request"


Generally not while holding, no.
It's more when I'm trying to do a quick pass. I'll press it, let out an audible WTF, press it again twice quickly, by then my play is dead and I'm going offside because my pass target is too stupid to stop at the line...or maybe he too is so flabbergasted that the easy and obvious pass just didn't take place that he just kept gliding.

I've had games where I've just given up on R2 entirely and went full saucer mode but that's not a solution, that's just trying to make the best of a neutering situation

This is multiple releases I've had this happen, and obviously on multiple controllers. Maybe even multiple systems with 22
It's in the game

We get very few reports of this happening so it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue. Which makes it a lot harder to troubleshoot. It's also not something we can reproduce. That's where video makes a big difference so we can see exactly what's happening on screen in case there's something else combined with passing that is causing this. If you want to just get game video and tell me when you're trying to pass, that will work.

Just to be clear, when you say you're using a quick pass, I assume you mean you're just tapping R2 and you're not stickhandling at all?

@EA_AljoIt would obviously be specific to the context of the individual play but generally yes aiming the pass towards my target and pressing the button...and then wondering why it didn't work

I just did one where I'm racing to a loose puck and knowing that the AI opponent is going to immediately cream me or strip me clean so I'm trying to time it so the pass gets off as soon as I get possession... Worked like a charm exactly how I wanted it to but I was actually shocked because it's generally a coin toss

@dannythetemp 

This could be related to the lag issue you mentioned in the other thread. Let me know if you want to go through some troubleshooting.

Here I just encountered the same thing only with L1/ block. Hedman just stands there like an idiot. If he braces that block then the puck bounces out to a safe area, instead the SS-AI on this 70ovr team gets a goal...

@dannythetemp 

I'll watch for more reports of this. Again, buttons not responding could be due to the lag issue you previously mentioned.
