Still no controller vibration Xbox NHL25

All my controllers have vibration in NHL24 and all other of my games installed on my series X. But still after reinstalling NHL25 and playing a week no patch? It works on my ps5 but I prefer playing NHL with an Xbox controller. Can EA please patch this for Xbox. Getting annoying to play without vibration function that I have paid for being able to use in the game. 

Update 17 October: After EA rolled out a big hotfix patch this week this is still not patched. I will not play the game anymore after this. And I will never buy NHL or any other EA game after this. I am amazed by how they treat  their customers. 

  • Came here to say I’ve also been with no vibration all week. This is terrible.

    it’s such an amazing game this year and I can’t even enjoy it properly.

    its always something. I hope this is given more consideration asap.

     

    I understand there’s only so many things that can be fixed at once.

    but this is one of the most critical and fundemental pieces of the game. 

  • this has been an issue in past games so im not hopeful that there will be a patch, just them reviewing our complaints

    Hey there. We normally don't put out a patch during early release. This particular issue is logged and the team is reviewing it. We'll have to wait and see if it's addressed in an update so keep an eye on future patch notes. Thanks!

      Wow this has been an issue for years in NHL games. EA is just awful

        Its been an issue on the last four launches of this game. Would love to know how this keeps happening. Only sports game out there with this issue- and I'm including arcade ones too

      Okay but is this a bug on every Xbox or what? Because it is working fine when I play NHL25 on my PS5 as I mentioned above. 

  • I still have no vibration as well (Xbox series S).

    I purchased the early access version over a week ago and I’m really debating if I should get a refund since it doesn’t look like this will be fixed anytime soon.

      I got my refund. Im done with it. EA says they are “looking into it” aka they wont update it until December at best. Its been a plaguing issue since NHL 22 so the likelihood of them figuring it out now is low

        Where were you able to talk to someone to get a refund? I’d like to do the same.

        Getting a refund. How many weeks does it take to fix a minor, yet gamebreaking issue?

    Still not fixed with the new patch they rolled out this week. Wow!!

  • There is a a way to get the vibration working but need two controllers, one is plugged via USB and the 2nd controller is wireless one, i went into play now to test, got only controller one working that is wireless with vibration, i exit play now to test training and still vibration only on one controller. Sometimes you need to turn it off and on while in game and should work.

      Yeah I know but that is only working in play now mode on the opposite controller. Not in any other mode for me. Also this is in my opinion not acceptable when paying over 100 bucks for a game of this magnitude. I have it on my PS5 too with a friend’s account and on the PS5 the vibration is perfect. Even better with the haptic feedback. But I am more used to play NHL on Xbox controller. But will play it on my PS5 until EA patches it on Xbox. I wouldn’t have bought it on Xbox if I knew this tbh. Very disappointed.

        I agree with this sentiment. Pretty pitiful that this is only 'being looked into". It should have been fixed immediately.

    Having the same issue but on PS5. I have vibration on every other game for single period, then it’s gone…
