Hybrid controls are returning by the end of October. If you'd like to see if a refund is available, please contact the retailer the game was purchased from.
No need to be sarcastic,, you really think the store is going to give anyone a refund? Why were Hybrid controls removed in the first place? Who asked EA to remove them? Did you think of people who don't play video games on a 24/7 schedule and are used to simple controls they have been playing with for last 50 years?
I'm in the same boat, I bought the game at launch and was super excited, however I still havent played a single game because of the controls. You guys came up with a roster update yesterday, don't you think controls should be a top priority ?
Thank you,

I'm not being sarcastic. We've already stated numerous times the hybrid controls are returning. As far as whether or not I think a store is going to issue a refund goes, that's not up to me. It's up to the retailer.
I don't have details on why they were removed.
- @EA_Aljo I appreciate that the hybrid controls are being added back, but they never should have been removed in the first place. I truly hope EA has heard the overwhelming number of complaints about this and avoids removing the hybrid controls from future releases.
As someone who's played the EA NHL series since NHL '93, I look forward to each new release, but removing the controls that us 'lifers' rely on is not ok.
So I bought the game early so you get all the perks
And I still haven’t played the gameBecause I work way too much, and I just enjoy playing single controls tool to start learning new controls
I’m pretty sure you guys just killed my interest in playing hockey game
Super excited to play
No, I don’t give a damn
Thanks EA
I wish EA really cared about thier customers !!!!!
Like other people here, I too was so excited about starting another ultimate team season and find out that the "hybrid controls" were not an option.
I also went out and purchased a PS5, thinking this was going to be a great thing for the hockey game and I'm really upset that I wasted my money
on the "early release" of the game and this system, because it is just unplayable for me.
I think the NHL 24 game has "jumped the shark"... If you are under 30 years old, ask your parents what that expresion means.
Maybe I'll turn the game on after November 1st... maybe the hybrid controls will be back then 🙂
NO HYBRID / 94 CONTROLS. WOW
Not supporting EA anymore been buying ur games for 20 years, no more NHL 23 was my last game will play or buy. Btw nhl 23 is better than 24 lol
Are you going to have the updates available through the game console?
I wont even touch NHL until the hybrid returns. Im 47. Im not in a position to try and re-learn new controls due to time. Im not getting paid to learn new controls. This sucks. Do we have a set date when this will return????
Hybrid controls (let alone 94) are older than some of the playerbase - the game is evolving to the point where it just can't work with fewer controls (for better or worse).
EA isn't being malicious with these changes, its just a product of the times. I absolutely loathed skill stick back in 2005 or whatever but it honestly didn't take long to get used to - you just need to give it a chance
hybrid control is supposed to return at the end of October. I'm also waiting for it and I'm 43. We older generations are used to just playing like that.
I do understand that its hard to make everyone happy, actually it's impossible...but why does the development team from the NHL series feel the need to take things out of the game to add improvements? The "True Broadcast camera" is a classic example. I've been playing this game since its inception and I like what I like "True Broadcast and Hybrid controls" It's just a simple matter of enjoyment and having the NHL experience while playing a video game. I also understand that Hockey isn't' the most popular sport, and only one company makes a NHL video game (EA) that the hockey loving community can play and for that I thank you! In my honest opinion NHL 22 was the last good hockey game produced by EA. I have since reloaded NHL 23 but I have to turn off my internet so that the update doesn't take away the "True Broadcast Camera" and I can do without the "Rainbow hockey sticks" who in the NHL plays with a Rainbow hockey stick?
I have been playing MLB the show and NBA 2k since the inception of these games, and they add but never subtract....unlimited camera angles and controls....I always know what I like is going to be there when I load the newest version of the game, and I certainly know they wont delete something "Post launch, like EA" That being said, Thank you for creating these games, but please stop messing with the "Legacy" items that all of us long time (Gamers) customers enjoy..
