Community Manager
That's right. I've been playing since 1993 and I'm quite old and I certainly don't want to learn new skills at my age, when I've been playing like this for almost 30 years.
The stupidest thing is that all managers are either cowardly silent, or write formal messages "soon", "we can't name a specific date". You once again framed everyone. You've had more than a month and you haven't done anything.
Just like that, a month ago they announced that there will be hybrid controls and 3 controls will be available. skill stick, total control and hybrid controller. If I knew it wouldn't be there right away, I would never buy a pre-order and wait for them to put it there.
Is it Friday? Because
many players say that the return
of the hybrid will be on Friday with
the official release. But I haven't
found any sources, and we would
like to have an answer. Otherwise
I would like to be reimbursed,
what are the steps please.
For anyone wondering, I was able to refund my Xbox pre-order. Just said straight out that hybrid controls are missing and that’s non-starter for me. So you can get a refund.
I was able to refund mine no problem. I wish more people would refund and show them how upset we are. We can always buy it again if they fix the huge problems. The way they learn is if we hit them in the wallets.
I agree, I think tomorrow the game will be the same. I’m angry.

@Aymeric-KetterleUnfortunately unless they surprise us, unlikely. Around a month ago they announced the hybrid and '23 style goalie controls would be added in a POST launch update. They had stated they would be updating us with "concrete" info but since then it's been crickets from the devs and the community mgrs are in the dark.
These things take time to work out. There were a lot of changes made to controls and quite honestly, I don't think the team was anticipating such a blow-back from people who still use hybrid/ NHL 94 controls.
I was quite surprised to see the amount of people still relying on old controls.
That's just extremely disappointing and sad it tells you how close they are with the people that play offline modes.
I am holding my breath until tomorrow. I will give them to the launch and a day one patch to include Hybrid Control, otherwise I will return the game and play NHL 23 for another year. I have this sneaking suspicion they are going to mess with hybrid controls and it will be released different than what we are used to.
I hope i am wrong and the day one patch gives us what we paid for.
I really hope they‘ll bring it back. I just played a few games and its just … 😕
Hot off the presses. Day1 patch ruins hybrid players launch day fun.
No HC today in the day1 patch.
Apparently it will be released later in october.
WTF is the point of paying for a game you can't enjoy on launch.
What a joke.......
Time to return the game and play NHL 15 with the last good BAP and actual hockey like presentation.
Leagues better than the latest rinse and repeat with a stupid battle pass garbage with we are getting.
