This doesn't mean anything. Why would people spend their time in front of a console they have at home, standing at an uncomfortable kiosk playing against the CPU or an opponent where one person needs to play going down, when they could be doing this?

I play this game almost daily, and if I were at this event, I wouldn't go near the NHL 24 kiosk. Not because the game is bad or too hard but because I'd be there to experience the Fan Zone and all of the real-world hockey experiences.

Different times. In our time maybe but this generation 3/4 are glued to their phones. I went to my cousin's for the Superbowl and my little cousins were downstairs playing Spiderman on PlayStation.

For the most part parents waited in lines while the kids roamed around and the PlayStation booth was near the food area. Plus the NHL players left around 4. Big names around 2. Either way when they get to the booth they shouldn't be struggling and frustrated to play. 

Those pictures are of the street hockey tournament which they had breaks in between.

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.

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.

Why @EA_Aljo u have to ruin this game whit the arcade hitting? That speed boost is so stupid and bad. I have played this nhl games for years and i know how to play this game but the point is this is not fun. So So arcade and no one is enjoying this. I have talk about this for many people and they all say the same. Pressure system was good fix when u took that douwn but the hitting needs to be fix please. No More acceleration /speed boost.

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"

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.
