Icon passing not working in club games
Since patch icon passing was to be fixed, in quick play it works but in club games it doesn’t work.

So far, I've never experienced this. If my pass goes in a wrong direction, it's because I accidentally aimed there. It's very uncommon my pass goes where I don't intend it to. However, I've also never used icon passing and have always used manual passing. If you're newer and used to icon passing, less accurate manual passes might happen more frequently.
As far as icon passing goes, it still works. They just don't show up. I understand the frustration with this. It might be good to practice manual passing for this situations where you can't rely on knowing which player is which button.
The R2 passing can be very inconsistent at times in WOC, to say the least. To say it never happens and solely depends on which way you’re facing the joystick is not correct. I’ve primarily played defense since EASHL was first introduced over 15 years ago in like NHL 09, so I’ve made quite a few passes and outlet passes up the ice over the years to be able to distinguish when it seems that something isn’t working the way it should. Maybe it is dependent on other factors I’m not aware of, like stamina remaining, but I have definitely had many erratic passes when aiming the exact same way I just did previously for a pass that was perfectly clean right to my teammate.
I also get that icon passing “still works,” but that’s not the point, and isn’t acceptable for a bug like this to still persist this many months later. I don’t think it’s much to ask for a feature that is supposed to be in the game to work the way it should?

Community ManagerI've been playing D in EASHL since day one back with NHL 09 as well. So, I've made a few passes. Back when we had the controller overlay, I could always see where my aim was off. Unfortunately, we don't have that now so we can definitively tell. It's been my personal experience that the vast majority of my passes hit their target. When they don't, I can tell my aim was a little off.
Your passing rating helps with accuracy. You also can adjust the online pass assist setting. That should be at 100% otherwise there's a bigger margin for error.
I don't have any updates on icon passing at the moment. We'll have to wait for a future update to see if it's addressed.
