Often game developers (especially new to the series) don't know the total impact of how a control system works among it's player base. There decisions are usually prompted with moving forward and trying new things.
This community has shown that they can convince EA to provide what is best for all types of players. I imagine they completely removed the coding from NHL24 and have to put it back in and make sure it works. NHL 94 controls are no different. Maybe we will get lucky and both control schemes will be added to the patch that is coming.
We can only hope all of our efforts sway EA to the understanding of it's full player base.
