Option to switch Left stick speed boost

Can we get a button option for speed boost outside of pushing and holding in the left stick. I can’t tell you how many controllers this feature destroys. Standard and pro controllers. 

maybe a feature like the further up you hold the stick the faster your skater will skate or just a simple button swap feature. Like for someone like myself. I don’t use the quick deke LB button. I should be able to have the option to switch to “hustle mode” by simply holding down the LB button and I can throw quick deke to the left stick push in. 

theres other buttons that aren’t commonly used across the board as well like Y for lacrosse, A for reverse hit, B between the legs or the auto toe drag which is horrible anyway lol. I understand why they are there as everyone has their limitations and not everyone can use the controller the same way. Even the pro controllers have paddles on the bottom. Maybe let the ones who have that switch to one of those paddle buttons to where they can use the speed boost hustle on a paddle instead of pushing in the right stick. 

it’s not even just the fact that pushing in the stick almost constantly kills the controller. Sometimes when you’re all the way up or all the way down it doesn’t even register if you’re pushing in the stick. Sure that’s a fault of the controller… But options for this scenario would be nice.  I am sorry I don’t have a video of my thumb sticks.

    It took a bit for me, but wasn't long before it became second nature. I originally made the change when we switch the Skill Stick controls so that clicking down it was the fake shot. Or reverse hit. I forget which was which. One was on the right stick. I kept accidentally triggering those moves and they drove me crazy. I actually think I prefer hustle being on the left paddle now though.

    This is the correct answer.  The Gamesir G7 SE or HE is the way to go.  Yes they are wired but they are feature packed and amazing.  Had my SE over a year and still have zero drift or problems and I game on Apex, NHL, FIFA, Street Fighter.  All intense stick type games.   Now coming this spring they are making a wireless G7 Pro for Xbox.

    I personally need wireless. Tv is kind of far off and with the dog and cat they will be walking across the wire.

    No. this does not solve the problem. then the icon passing system breaks down. The controls need to be redone, with fast and slow speeds.

    It doesn’t affect icon passing at all if you have a controller with back paddles like the Xbox elite controller. I just put a left paddle in and made it do what pushing in the left stick normally does. 

    so right now until I get used to it left stick in and left paddle down are assigned as hustle mode. I am glad this was suggested and i gave it a shot. The left paddle down is so much more responsive than pushing in the left stick. (My left stick is also probably on its way out) but its a huge difference and I don’t think I’ll be getting as much stick drift or the infamous dead stick lol
