Manual passing broken in NHL 15

[Xilax]

Has anyone else noticed that manual passing doesn't work? There's no manual passing at all in NHL 15. Every pass has the same power and direction is set by CPU, there's no feeling that I am controlling where my passes go and that makes gameplay very arcadey.

Hope EA can fix this!!

Switch the game style to hardcore

That's not the case. I have tried simulation and hardcore and nothing changes. This problem is in the demo and the early access so it's been fixed in full version?

Nope. Its back to NHL08 passing style. Where you can't almost use the board and the you have very little control over the pass speed. Its absolutely terrible

thats untrue.

i have been able to hold down and fire a pass and i have been able to just tap r2 to feather a pass. all-star hardcore settings.

Woah!
This need confirmation! I'm a 100% manual passer, and couldn't live with any kind off pass/aim assist.
I know it wasn't available in the demo, but retail.
If set to manual - Yes, and the assist is set to zero there should be no assist whatsoever, can anyone confirm this.

Yes you can keep right trigger down and cancel pass or not but no matter how long you press the button it has nothing to do with power of the pass.

Noticed it too, direction seems assisted even with assist at 0 passes seem to be directed towards a player. Xbox one version if it matters, manual passing on and pass assist slider all the way off.

I think its still there, its just that the difference in speed between tapping and holding down RT isn't as pronounced as it was before. It used to be that tapping RT was an extremely weak, almost tap of a pass. Now its a regular pass, just slower speed. You can still rifle passes by holding it down. I do find it harder to do bank passes off the boards and whatnot, but I think that's more tied to the pass assist setting.

I guess that's also bound to the slider setting "passing power" or "passing speed" or whatever it's called in15?
I know that when I used 100% manual passing, I always had to adjust the pass power to get a good result.

As I said, would be nice with a confirmation from one of our slider fiddlers (if there is any that is actually buying the game).

I agree with this.. although I'm able to bounce them off the boards frequently.

Re: Manual passing broken in NHL 15

Go to practice session and try to pass from your own end first just tap the pass trigger and the keep it pressed longer. In demo and early access versions both passes went straigh to other end and with same speed. And be sure manual passing is turned on.

Re: Manual passing broken in NHL 15

Even with Pass Assist slider to 0, there is still some assist that tries to direct the puck to a player. Its extremely frustrating. You want to pass the puck along the board behind the net and the next thing you know your pass is going right in the crease for the CPU AI to snipe a goal.

Re: Manual passing broken in NHL 15

Has anyone out pass assist at 6? I've tried it on my BAP and it seems like their is less assistance when passing. Maybe it's backwards? Probably just broken lol
