Fix passing!

Hello again

Please fix passing.  Not sure what sorts of things are important over there in Burnaby.  But it would be great if they'd fix passing.  It has occurred to me that since the inception of icon passing that the regular passing has flaws now.  They weren't there prior to icon passing in NHL 24.  I'm all for icon passing, it's fun, unique and a bit of a breath of fresh air.  But that's only if it doesn't wreck the game, which it seems to have done so.  Yes, i know that low player overalls, and fatigue, and offensive awareness, all sorts of things go in to every second of the game that effect these things.  That's not it.  The game has errors.  There is no way that ANY player in this game cannot complete a pass from the side boards to the dman 10' away.  Puck soooo often just goes down the ice. It's awesome!  you spend 10-15 seconds going back to retrieve the puck that you just had, and then start over.  I beg you to fix it.  Please either fix it or remove icon passing altogether.  There's no reason they need to make a 2K game.  Stick to EA please.

    Hello. We're aware of the reports with passing. This is being investigated.

  • Okay, thanks Aljo.  This is good news.  I'm sorry for so many messages lately.  I'm trying to keep them either positive, or if negative, then constructive.  There's just a lot going on so far this edition, it seems.  Thanks for the reply

      Thank you. I can't tell you how much being constructive is appreciated. It helps tremendously.

    Agreed for some reason the passing this week is worst than last week. Has been more frustrating this week.

      I, firmly, believe that these passing errors came in with the introduction of icon passing.  For some reason it seems more noticeable in 25 (perhaps the lower player overalls have exacerbated it), but it was certainly there in 24 as well, imo.  Heck, even icon passing isn't flawless.  Often you push a button and the puck goes in the opposite direction.

      There have been no changes to passing since launch.

        This week in particular with the WildCard moments being 3v3 Arcade.. you can really notice an issue with passing, especially when attempting to pass back up to the point.   You almost always miss your target and send a laser beam all the way down the ice.
