NHL 22 Controller Vibration Issue

I’m having the same exact problems. Vibrations don’t work in any mode but the controller vibrates fine in other games. It says I have the controller vibrations on within the game but nothing happens. There must be some sort of interference between the controller and the game. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know it would be very much appreciated.

  • I checked some solution for this and it worked.

    I turned my PS4 off, I pluged my controller to the PS4 with USB cable, then I turned it on by PS button and then I ran the NHL. Next, I made sure the vibrations in Accessability > Controller Accessability (Main Menu) are ON and then I saved the Gameplay Preset by giving it a name. Then I made sure (in More > Settings > Controller Settings) the vibrations are ON. And finally, I went to Play Now and ran a game against CPU to check if this works. IT IS! You can unplug the USB cable.

    I would say I can enjoy the game with vibrations again (Versus and EASHL mode), but they are noticeably weak. Three times weaker than in NHL 21. My controller barely vibrates when I hit an opponent.

    I hope it's helpful for everyone. And I hope the EA team will fix the vibrations soon and will make them stronger like they were in previous NHL games, because they are really weak.

    @Corrptd1 

    Unfortunately, we don't have any updates on this. I'm assuming that at this point it won't be addressed for 22. If there is any news, that will be relayed here.

  • @EA_Aljo So are you guys offering refunds for the game? It's pretty hard to believe the game has been out for about a year and NO ONE from EA bothered to fix a simple vibration bug. Unacceptable really.

    If it were that simple, chances are excellent it would have been addressed by now. You can check to see if a refund is possible by contacting the retailer the game was purchased from.

  • I have the same problem, but in nhl 23, how is this kind of thing acceptable from such a game. By the way, I loaded nhl 22 back just to see and it work all fine on this one. That is so dumb from ea to be honest.

    Hey, @Ed2xChamp 

    I'm not seeing other reports of vibration not working in NHL 23. Can you post this in the bug reports section here? Thanks!

  • On test now NHL-23 10 hours trial with my old Elite2

    Same problems as in 22-nd

    Same no vibro and too many ghosts

    1) Need start game then quit quickly

    2) restart console

    3) start Pratcice

    4) During loading turn off quickly gamepad

    5) then on and u will first one red and all works good

    Funny right? Yes 🤣

    ///but hockey is good - better than old one

    thinking buying it but...

    Respect to all 👏

  • I just bought nhl 23 and still no vibration. Still working on it or what bud?

  • Its really pathetic, and marked as solved lol

    what company operates this way

  • How do you address this as a problem you’re looking into and then make an entire new game (nhl 23) that has the same problem still? Ghost controllers and no vibration still. Ridiculous for a triple A title from one of the biggest devs in the world 

  • @tylerwpd As I wrote before:
    Start game - stop it
    Restart console
    Start again in any mode
    Disconnect Elite2 during loading
    And u will see empty screen
    After connect it and wow - works
    And then leave it on Quick Resume (sometimes its crashes)
    Funny huh - terrible yes, but 23-rd is very good btw 🤣
