Wild slap shots - anyone else experiencing this?

Post the last patch has anyone experienced your player (when skating towards the net or stationary) taking a slap shop and having it go wildly away from the net?  Slice or hook in golf terms.  Occasionally if another player happens to be in the path, they will try to deflect it towards the net.  But it's more like bumper pool at that point.  Thanks!

    Hello again EA_Aljo.  Well I reapplied the firmware twice and recalibrated the new controller twice.  Then I played a game of NHL 26.  Here's a screenshot (from a video) of my Oakland Seals player taking a slap shot after receiving a pass near the blue line.  Very odd.  I'll guess I'll try another new controller.  Maybe this one (even though it's brand new) is defective.  Just came directly from Microsoft though.  :(  I tried to upload the video but it wasn't allowed so I uploaded the video to YouTube (link below).  The screenshot shows multiple images (sorry) but you can see how wildly off the shot goes.

    Here's the YouTube link for the video:

    Hello.  Thanks for the speedy reply!  OK.  Well, the controller I'm using is brand new so I'd be surprised if that was the issue.  Could be though I guess.  I'll try to troubleshoot it.  Maybe it needs to have the firmware installed again.  Those installs can hiccup (I installed an update when I started using it).   I'll let you know if I have any further issues after I try to do that.  Or at least look at my options within the setup section.  :)

    Hi there. I haven't seen other reports of this and I'm not noticing it in my own games. I'll keep an eye out for it. Have you also tried using a different controller or tested the one you use for any issues?
