Why not? Assuming they're new to the game, it takes time to understand the controls.

You think majority people attending the NHL All Star fan fair are not going to be familiar with the game NHL lol. Emphasis on the N H L part.

Apparently to you the Amish only attended.

Do me a favor - quote me where I said "A majority (of) people attending the NHL All Star fan fair are not going to be familiar with the game"

My father hasn't played since NHL 2001 (even then I whopped his butt like 24-0), so I have no doubt he wouldn't know what to do if he went to the kiosk. My 6yo nephew plays NHL 17 with '94 controls, I'm sure he would get pretty frustrated playing '24 too.

These aren't meant for NHL: The videogame ™ hardcores (lol why would someone used to thr game wanna play it in public?) - they're meant for general hockey fans to experience something new. That all said, I definitely agree the controls should be even just slightly easier for green players to pick up.

Exactly. Provide simple one-button pass/shoot/hit mechanics for the layperson while still providing advanced controls. 

I'd also suggest eliminating the on-ice trainer entirely by default. Let people turn it on if they need assistance. In my experience with new players, the distraction from the on-ice trainer barking instructions and such contributes to confusion over the controls.
