Hey, guys, this is fixed if you are still having issues. Go into settings and move the deadzone stick control to 10-15% or fiddle with it until it works. Mine all work. Thanks, EA!
@bosslvl9000 Nathan, that is so odd and you would think with that video that EA would know how to fix this bug. I am sure we aren't meant to unequip cards just to get emotes to work.
The same problems exist on PS4, I haven't tested the emotes extensively to summarize which ones don't work. I do think it is interesting that the problem doesn't exist for every hero or every emote, and that the unequipping of star cards changes the situation. It suggests that the code for how this works on each hero isn't generic...that somehow either different code has been used to make different heroes emote, OR that somehow code that is associated with particular hero cards or abilities interferes with the emote code.
What would be interesting to know, for example, is if very particular star cards interfered with the emotes, or does any star card do that?
And a question, has anyone gotten new hero emotes since the new progression system was released? I haven't. I had about half the hero emotes unlocked before the new progression, but I haven't got a new one since. I was hoping that they'd be unlockable with credits with the April 18 update, but no such luck. Since they don't come in crates anymore, the message that they are available in crates is moot. There hasn't been a single reward challenge for new hero emotes since the progression update, just credits credits credits and a few hero appearances. Maybe they are waiting until the emote problem is fixed, but this is very annoying.
