Trying to do the objective for the XP season 4 week one Toe Drag shots with any player. I use skill stick and do the bottom half rotate half a circle to do toe drags and then shoot but they aren’t registering as a toe drag shot, 3 games in I am 0 registered. Even in the list of button commands under offense controls all it shows is toe drag right stick half circle. I know if I switch to total control and just hold x and flip up on the RS i am pretty sure that will register. Just curious as to if anyone has encountered this or if I am doing toe drags shot shots on skill stick wrong… I don’t like using the X button to drag shots because 90% of the times you miss the net completely.

I posted a similar complaint regarding toe drag shots. I had over a dozen not registered. Just gave up trying. Why I asked in my post if anyone else was experiencing this. And obviously by your post. I am not alone in my irritation.

But are you doing it right? YOu fake shot, (press the right stick) then pull back your RS (down on right stick) right away, the puck has to hit the goalie, if another player or stick hits the puck before the goalie it wont count

Controller layout doesn’t say that. It shows the half circle on the RS for a tow drag

Try this. Click in the right stick, then right stick down and right stick up. Like winding up for a slapshot with clicking in the right stick.

Damm you can play? Ever since the lady update it hasn't let me play hut and keeps saying check your connections I thought the server was down for everyone

You probably just need to restart. Power cycle your modem/router by unplugging it for a couple of minutes. Also, hard restart your console by holding down the power button until it turns off.

If you're on Xbox, if you see NHL 25 under Quick Resume, remove it from there also. Let me know how it goes.

It happens to me too since that update. Just close game and restart. Hopefully that helps

Awesome. Just keep that in mind for the future if it happens again. As always though, reach out again if anything else comes up. Good luck and have fun!

Do the backhand toe drag shot.
