It unfortunately is the controller or all three in your case. I have one that it does the exact same thing where the players stop moving when they have the puck and it's because the right stick is slightly off. You can try to calibrate it, however if that doesn't work you will have to buy a new controller.

Having the same problem, is there any real solution by now? It happens all the time and the game isn't playable like this.

Same issue, it cannot be hardware as it happens to all four of my controllers and the same happened in nhl 2015. I bought 2016 as I thought 2015 not supported anymore, unfortunately I was wrong as I'm facing the same issue in 2016. It only happens when I attack... There must be somebody from EA to comment on this...

How can it not be a software problem if controller works in every other game + works when changing control settings to nhl 94 or hybrid? It definitely is a software problem.

This is actually the most frustrating thing in the world. Ive tried multiple controllers (including a brand new one I bought just for this problem.) Tried different controller settings, tried using the old version 1.00 and 1.01 and the updated version and it's still doing this bull. and after the money and time spent on this game......... Ea continues to * me off

I am having the exact same issue in NHL 18, EA are you noticing this?
