Loving NHL 26, but no vibration on shots? (xbox series x)

First off, I want to give props to the dev team the improvements to the AI, sound, and goalie play are really noticeable, and the game feels way less bulky and smoother overall. It’s a big step forward. For someone who's played every edition since 03' and been critical of copy/paste updates over the past decade hats off the game went from a 7 to an 8/10 for me. That said, I’ve noticed something odd that may prevent me from buying if this is end result with no patch. I only get controller vibration on hits but not shots. For me, that’s always been a big part of the feel and immersion of the game, so it feels like something’s missing. Is anyone else running into this? Or is it just me/my setup? Thanks!

    Vibration has been working on Series X, but it's pretty light. Is there no vibration at all? 

    Are you using a standard Xbox controller or is it a 3rd party one?

  • Same thing here. A very light, inconsistent vibration. XBox series X. 

    I am using a standard Xbox controller

    EA_Aljo​ Any way to return the game to EA? Two months in and sounds like there's no update coming for this whatsoever. All my xbox series x friends have the same issue and it seriously ruins the game experience for me. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to have a toggle in game settings players could adjust.

    Hitting currently feels 20/100 vibration

    Shooting 5/100 (not noticeable at all)

    You would need to contact the retailer the game was purchased from to see if you qualify for a refund.

    We're aware of the issue with vibration. Hopefully, it'll be turned up in the future. I don't have any updates on this at the moment.
