Hello everyone, I hope all is good.
I'm upset to know many of you are not able to enjoy the game do to the control lay out not being available to you, I completely understand your frustration. As someone who has been playing NHL since 91 this has always been my go to game . If I may ask a question to everyone. So since NHL 07 I have been playing with the skill stick and this year total control was introduced, I tried it out for a bit and did not enjoy using the buttons for the hitting as well as the dekes, so I went back to skill stick. I have never used NHL 94 or hybrid controls since the introduction of skill stick in 07, I am not familiar with the differences between them besides maybe the buttons being the pass and shoot mechanisms. Is hybrid extremely different from 94 controls? Does it use the right stick and the triggers on the top of the controls? I'm just very curious since I'm hoping hybrid controls that will be returning helps anyone and everyone with any kind of a disability or just enjoys those controls to enjoy NHL 24. If anyone with this knowledge can let me know.
Be safe everyone and thank you.

Hybrid Controls are the closest thing to NHL 94 Controls, while also giving you the ability to use the Skill Stick.
Everything that the Skill Stick does can be done with Hybrid Controls. What Hybrid Controls offers instead is the ability to use the buttons to make passes, hits, stick lifts, and shoot the puck.
When the Hybrid Controls will be back, does that also mean that the line change will be back on the buttons and not on the arrows and hitting is back on the right joystick?

Right stick is only used for shooting for the most part and any dekes or advanced moves using the L1 button. all of which you can do with 94 is still done with the usual 94 buttons. You can use it to explore other ways to use it as well. As an example, my brother only has the use of one hand. He has slowly, but decently, adapted to Hybrid. He likes the simplicity of it with the ability to do more if he decides to try it.
He oddly never used 94 controls.
