The colors are missing from the keys of the icon passing player. Xbox is this system so and nhl24 was also ps5. It would be easier to enter if the icons had a color.

Hi EA_Aljo is there any expectation to fix this? Using the icon passing in PS5 is a detriment to use now. With the way each player changes its icon with no way to predict what it could be next, having a gray blob above their head isn't very helpful. On the contrary, they more now just get in the way.Without seeing any colour to the icons above their heads, you have to really focus hard to distinguish whether it's a circle or a square icon. Not everyone has the biggest 4k monitor to play on, or the best eyesight. Chalk this one up to an accessibility feature if it'll get it more attention to be fixed. Just because Sony took away the colours from their buttons doesn't mean you have to eliminate the discerning features of your game to match.

It would still be nice if it were possible to play in color. The user could choose which one to play with.

There is no good reason not to have them coloured, even if the intention is to match the controller buttons. Without the color it is near impossible to easily identify what the button icon is without completely direction your focus to see what the icon actual is. If your monitor isn't huge then you're at a severe disadvantage. This is the biggest pain I have with the game this year. Last year it was the R3 being tied to reverse check with the total controls and thankfully they realized how dumb that was.

They were there last, year gone this year. Must be a bug. Also, It would be nice if there was a way to have icons assigned to players instead of positions. That way Blue can be Circle for the whole game, etc

This is really a shame, because of a simple detail and ridiculous aesthetics, those who play on the PS5 are harmed, as it is a delay having to look at icon by icon when passing and not being able to use peripheral vision, which the colored buttons would allow us!

X, square, triangle, circle is black/white only. There are no colors like the xbox version.
I would really appreciate it if you could fix it.

Please leave it as it is or a option to not have them coloured looks so much better on ps5 not to have colours all over the ice
