Icon Passing

This idea that the game is unplayable because of icon passing being disabled is nonsense. This is a recently introduced feature and prior games were playable before it was added. Manual passing is actually superior in many ways. Try making an indirect pass off the boards or a manual sauce through pass. It's also much easier to change the passing angle by dekeing on the RS before releasing the pass. How is auto aim a good thing in the first place? Seems like no one wants this to be a skill based game.

  • Totally agree icon passing doesnt belong in a competitive hockey game at all and it should be removed.  It is just disturbing and a really bad idea . I have stopped playing this game but If they remove icon passing and bring back the old hitting system we had for over 10 or 15 years before they ruined it in nhl 24 i will  buy this game and start playing again , and many others will too

    It's not unplayable, it's just that people got used to playing one way and are having to readjust.

    I personally don't think the old assisted hitting should be in the game and am very happy with the increased skill gap that the current hitting provides. 

    I'm not a fan of icon passing either and feel it lessens the skill gap, but I don't really have a problem with it. Someone good at passing is going to have successful passes regardless of using manual or icons. Icon passing is a feature of the game and should be usable. It will be as soon as we get it fixed.

    I use both, sometimes I don't need Icon passing but there are times I like using it because I trust it more than Manual in certain situations...  As long as both are equal and icon passing isn't superior to Manual passing than why make a post ? Lol
