Well said ! I just wanna know why they were removed, adding new controls is fine however removing something this important just doesn't make any sense at all.

Clearly they didn't understand their community and it's players, this was also a way to force everyone to use total control. They didn't account for disabled and older fans of the series who rely on old control schemes.

This has nothing to do with forcing people to use the new Total Control scheme. Personally, I'm sticking to skill stick because I've had a hard time adapting to Total Control and not clicking down on the right stick, but it's getting better. I'm adapting to it.
I truly feel terrible for those with mobility issues that can't use the new controls. I imagine that was one of the deciding factors for bringing the Hybrid controls back. We certainly don't want to alienate those players.
As far as this goes to those that are not disabled though, this game is vastly different than it was in 1994. Those controls were great when you had a very simple control scheme. In 2023 that's just not the case as there are far more functions now. Every time something new gets added, it somehow needs to be mapped to legacy controls. Then we have to also take in to account exploits. Such as how backskating with protect puck was abused. So, that needs to be mapped to something else. We can't have old controls where this is still possible since that defeats the purpose of removing this exploit. Quite simply though, this game isn't meant to be played with a Sega Genesis controller when it's made to support modern hardware. Again, in the case of disabled players, I wish we had a simplified control scheme for you all to use. Hopefully, the Hybrid controls will still let many of you play.
You act as if we did this to be malicious. Which absolutely is not the case.
- Wrecklessaboteur2 years agoSeasoned Rookie@EA_Aljo I do feel bad for you guys... there are so many extremely negative people in these forums and I don't understand it. NHL24 is leaps and bounds better than NHL23 and bugs are par for the course with a new release by any publisher. I eagerly await the return of hybrid controls... in the meantime, I'll continue to manage with Total Control.
