This change wasn't made to specifically upset players that prefer that control scheme. It's most definitely unfortunate. Especially, for those with mobility issues. I myself am one of the older folks, but I've also been using the skill stick controls since they were first introduced almost 20 years ago. I know that not everyone's history with this game goes back that far or people chose to still play with the controls from NHL 94 instead of adapting to the more modern controls. There's nothing wrong with that of course. Unfortunately, as time goes on, we're going to have to have control layouts that better support the current generation of the game.
What specifically about the Hybrid controls do not work for you? I can pass on that feedback to the team.
- PurceyPea1 year agoRising Traveler@EA_Aljo I have 2 ideas & I am serious about this... Idea #1 is exclude the Hybrid controls & replace them with the NHL 94 controls & idea # 2 is making the hybrid controls just like the NHL 94 controls but still called the "Hybrid controls" if one of these 2 ideas come true I am certain that it would be the absolute end to all of this

What about the Hybrid controls specifically don't you like? The only difference is flicking down the stick to win faceoffs.
- PurceyPea1 year agoRising Traveler@EA_Aljo Are you even listening to me? We dont want Hybrid Controls we want NHL 94 controls! When I say "we" I am not just speaking for myself I am also speaking for the many other people that EA has spit on! When you told me that you guys have do certain control layouts that better support the future of the game I feel as if you are calling the much older generation folks like me extinct dinosaurs of the past & telling the super handicapped that you guys don't give a fat rat's behind about them! You told me that you are also part of the much older generation so I guess you are even calling yourself an extinct dinosaur of the past! I have now said what I have had to say
