Players automatically passing the puck

[Guigsdaddy]

Weird issue. Sometimes when I pass the puck to a player he will push the puck or pass it without me pressing any buttons. Anyone else see this? I actually saw it on last year's version also..

What mode? Are you holding the pass button too long maybe? I've never had this happen to me in any version...

I may be holding it too long thats what I was thinking. All game modes really. I pass the puck up to a forward and he just pushes it forward without me doing anything.

Re: Players automatically passing the puck

The direct pass (double pass) is improved this year, so it is now easier to initiate two passes in a row than before.
I think this is what you're experiencing.

so am I holding the pass button too long?

Re: Players automatically passing the puck

Holding the trigger only sets the pass speed. You could hold it for an instant or 2 sec., but only one pass with be made. I think you are pulling and releasing the trigger as th puck is traveling to the receiver.

This is true if you have manual passing turned on. If it's off, I believe you pass when you push the trigger, rather than when you release it.

Either way, odds are it's something you/your controller are doing.

Thanks for the replies!

Re: Players automatically passing the puck

you also may be using the switch player button too.
I do this all the time. I try switching to a skater that is close to a loose puck, and then he passes into the open once he gets it.

I hate how that switch player button is mapped to passing.

This could be it as well, maybe you're just a little trigger happy

Switch player/pass has been the same button since forever though!

Re: Players automatically passing the puck

I just wish the goalies would stop passing the puck themselves in terrible situations.
No Halak, when there are 3 guys surrounding the net and my defenders are no where to be found, i don't want you to just push the puck behind the net to the other team...i hate when you do that..

Well THERE'S your problem!

:P

I'm kidding, it does get rather annoying. Mind you, it's nice and convenient when the defensive zone is clear and he's just passing it to the D-Man to keep the play going, and it's much more realistic too.
