In a ideal world were all controllers have paddles, this could be good for more flexibility and you've put a lot of thoughts in this, raise my hat at you! But I can't like the whole ''hold'' P1 or click R3 for shooting, this have to be more instinctive, thats why a simple flick of the stick alone is best. When a 0.2sec opening happen, you don't want to start clicking several buttons to make a shot, it has to be instantly done without any second thought.
Thats pretty much my only grip on your setup. Nice to see different idea though. 👍

I don't know, I never personnally felt the controls for shooting were awkward, they are simple and intuitive. Of all the things in the game, shooting and passing are two things I wouldnt dare changing, they are in a fine spot imo. I'm not sure adding extra steps to take a simple shot would be welcome. Generally for dumping, you are given a seconde or more ahead of time to use it, thats why it work. Reaction time for shots are much shorter.
Obviously, I talk for myself here even though I beleive most poeples would agree with me on this. Take this with a grain of salt though. Good or bad idea doesnt matter, it bring stuff to talk about at the table...even if only 10% of your idea is being considered, it's already a win for you, right :P
Btw I played you last weekend in drop-in lol[Deleted to consolidate my thoughts & updates into the actual post.]

IMO, I prefer the shooting on this scheme which is pretty much skill stick. You know what they say, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. :D ...And to me, skill stick was on point.
I'm not sure, is there a difference between basic puck control and total puck control? Or is it just a sort of toggle option you get when holding P1? (on/off ability to shoot) If so, it's a good idea for anyone struggling with stick handling and accidental shots.
Puck protect on P3 + right stick is the best part, it would solve the issue of having it on L3 but....you need to leave Hustle on L3 though or it all come down to the same issue of having puck protect on L3 combined with hustle. They have to be separated to make puck protect and hustle their own thing. So puck protect doesnt overwrite stick handling when you hustle (which is the actual problem with Total Control).
Icon passing doesnt need the extra ''P'' as there's only 4 other guys with you on the ice so there's no real point in adding one more unless you want to add the goalie in the equation.
Brace for hit AKA reverse hit? I would rather have it on ''A'' just like on skill stick. I would be bothered by throwing dekes by accident.
Drop pass, would that mean that you can't hold on a pass and use L2 at the same time? Seem a bit troublesome too.
I think that only tapping R1 while not holding the left stick still would be the best way to go. I personnally always felt comfortable using it that way.
As you can tell I'm a fan of skill stick lol to me there wasnt particular changes needed.
Of course by moving the line change to the D-pad open up the door to the addition of new abilities or changes with X and B (they become unused) and if in a near future all controlers get the paddles....we can make more...like adding modifier as with your P1 modifier and puck protect on P3, which would be greatly welcome.
