BAP - Line Change triggering when I shoot

This does not happen every time but I am adding here for reference and check to see if others have seen same issue.  Sometimes when I am playing BAP and I am shooting, the game seems to think I hit the line change button and automatically skates me off the ice.  It happens more frequently when I do a one-timer shot.  This only happens on my PS5 and not my Xbox.  I have seen some references on Reddit where it happens to others.

    Hi there. Which controller setting are you using? Skill Stick, Total Control or Hybrid?

    Skill stick

    Btw, this happened in NHL25 too so it’s not a recent thing.

    Check to see if the firmware is up to date for your controller.

    (One correction, I am using Total Control controller setting. )

    Yes, in fact it happens with 3 different controllers and 2 different PSVs.  Just happened again this morning.

    In the scheme of things, it’s not a huge deal since I just line change early in BAP.  It’s definitely a bug though.

    Does it happen if you use Total Control? I'm not seeing any other reports of this so I'm inclined to believe it's an issue with your controller or game install. Which console are you on?

    My bad, I was using Total Control.

    Like I mentioned previously, this happens on two different PS5s and with 3 different controllers.  I know it sounds loopy but it will happen at least once per time I play.  Only seems to trigger when I shoot high as well.

    It’s probably not reproducible enough to get fixed but I wanted to register it happens. :).

    Does it also happen on Skill Stick? I recently started using Total Control, but I was using Skill Stick. Neither of which caused line changes when hitting up and this is the only report of it I've seen. Are you using official controllers or are they from 3rd parties?

    I will try Skill Stick.  Note: I only play BAP (I don’t believe you do based on other comments by you.).   All three of the controllers are official Sony controllers. 

    Also, seems to only happen when I shoot aiming top of net.  Seems to mostly happen when attempting a one timer.

    Yeah, I pretty much just play WoC with the occasional Online Versus game. I'll watch for other reports of this. So far, yours is the only one so I'm inclined to think there's something going on with your hardware or game. Something else you can try is deleting the personal saved data for NHL 26 with the below steps. However, it's possible you could lose any offline saves and changes to settings. Normally, that doesn't happen though as they are downloaded from the cloud, but I can't guarantee this.

    1. Go to Settings/Storage/System storage/Saved Data
    2. Locate NHL 26 and delete the saved data

    Let me know if that helps or not.
