I think it's great that you guys keep trying to make the best experience for console players seeing how controllers play differently than a mouse and keyboard setup. That being said the way BB and even other UI prompts worked was fine the way it was.
I play on PS4/PS5 so my prompts might be different than Xbox.
Switching from X to R2 for confirm is a very odd choice and one that isn't consistent across the board. For instance when you order meals in Dine Out you have to click X on the check mark to confirm your order.
In BB Mode L2 acts as both undo and also opens the search mode which brings up the software keyboard. So undoing changes has become more annoying than before because now it opens the search and you have to exit the search with each undo.
The way the BB catalogue works is also not very intuitive. Sometimes it scrolls with the stick but more often than not it requires using the hand to scroll down the BB catalogue area. Switching back and forth between control schemes does little to remedy this.
Unrelated to your changes but also very much needed some looking into:
Household inventory management means deleting items one by one. You cannot delete groups of items as a bulk action. If you have 197 packs of seeds in your household inventory you need to delete them all individually.
You cannot increase the size of any other information panels in Live Mode except for inventory. That means for things like university schedules or simology panels you can only scroll rather than show more info at a time. PC players can click and drag up and down on the top of panels but console players can only do so with inventory panels
Please please please take our feedback into consideration for the next update on console controls. If anything revert the change if possible.
