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.

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

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.

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

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

That is an absolutely unacceptable response to a consumer. You have an obligation to release whatever patch to address a concern. Gaslighting that person because you find their request annoying or inconvenient to your status quo is completely unacceptable. Any person that is not given the controller vibration is not only entitled to an immediate fix, they should be refunded for the game and given compensation as a thank you for their support and patience. Your complete lack of any care for consumers is evident and cannot be tolerated any longer.

Still no controller vibration Xbox NHL25

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!

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.

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 totally get the frustration! Unfortunately, the reality is that fixes aren't immediate. It takes time to create a fix, test it and release it. We also have to wait for a future patch. We don't do a single update for one issue. It will be part of a bigger patch that resolves multiple issues.
