Product: NHL 17Platform:Microsoft XBOX OneSummarize your bug: Major Bug with the hybrid controls. When passing up ice using the A button the player more often than not passes it again to no one when you move the player with the left joystick. It never did that in NHL 16. Makes NHL 17 very frustrating to play if you like using the hybrid controls. HELP!!!!!!How often does the bug occur?: Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: 1. Set controller to Hybrid. 2. Pass up ice using the A button. 3. Moving player with left joystick quickly and he passes the puck to no one.What happens when the bug occurs?: Passes the buck to no one and causes frequent icing calls. Slows down gameplay dramatically.What do you expect to see?: The player should take the pass and begin skating.No files.

Sometimes when I'm skating down the boards the player I'm controlling passes the puck on his own most of the time icing the puck before I can reach the redline. Sometimes the passes connect to another player and passes in multiple succession. I've tried different controllers, different difficulties, and played around with the sliders. Nothing is working and it's become very frustrating. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks

I would like to add that this only seems to happen when I choose hybrid controls
