So all of the sudden on my Xbox One NHL 19 I can't do slap shots (and therefore one timers) in NHL 19. It only lets me do a quick wrist shot. I tried an almost new controller to see if it was the issue and it's the same thing. Occasionally if I go into controller configuration and set up a new profile, then switch back to default it will fix it but it only lasts a couple mins. Other times doing that does nothing to help. Any thoughts? Help please!
NHL TeamHey @maxiewoxy,
This is very strange. I haven't heard of an issue like this from anyone else and I haven't experienced it myself either. Can you play around in practice mode and try it out? I'm wondering if it's how you're taking the slap shot or one timer. Assuming you're using the default control style, the right stick needs to be pressed almost perfectly straight up (12:00 on an analog clock). If you're off center, it might turn into a wrist shot.
I did briefly try a slap shot in practice and it seemed to work. I can't remember if it was one of those times where it briefly works after resetting the controller config to default again though.
I am quite familiar with slap shots actually. One timers are a big part of my game. And now I can no longer do them...or really shoot at all. Basically the game is unplayable right now.
Very frustrated! So far:
- different controller, same issue
- uninstalled/reinstalled the game, same issue
What is left to try?
NHL TeamCan you review your Controller Settings and verify your Controls are set to Skill Stick? I'm wondering if this setting got changed by accident.
Glad, but not glad, I found this post. I am experiencing the same issue too. Thought it may be my controller, got a new one from GameStop, and still doing the same thing, just as the OP described: it works for a couple of minutes at beginning of the game, but then goes away. You pull back to do a slap shot, and it like 'freezes' and doesn't allow the follow through. It almost 'locks up the player'. The only way I can shoot now is with a wrist shot.
I've also noticed that controller vibrations are stronger since this issue started to happen with slapshots. I've restarted my XBox One and am fully updated on software.
This is happening in franchise mode and signed in btw, if that matters. Haven't tried in other modes yet or as a guest, but will soon. I'll also try and take a video and try to upload it so you can see it in action.
Switching to another profile on my Xbox was my solution. For whatever reason, the slap shot only existed on my main profile.
I only play online head to head games and that is where my issue was/is.
This is happening to me too. It's also happening w wrist shots. I use the hybrid controller setup and I cant use the buttons to shoot anymore. However, I can still use the button to pass the puck. The only way I can shoot is w the skill stick and I cant figure out why. I've come to the opinion that there may be a glitch in the game.
