What's wrong with Total Control, exactly?
I'm genuinely curious as to why so many people are asking for Total Control to be removed outright from the game.
Like, sure, hipchecks were made easier but it's just like last year's crosschecks s...

Back in my day you had to wiggle the dpad back and forth and just pretend you were deking like the pros but yes, the golden days of manual dekes were definitely the best (one arm extend into a windmill was my favourite).
I was never a fan of the one touch deke system because it felt like there was no fluidity to it - Total Control isn't exactly pushing any boundaries but I feel like just removing it wouldn't serve any purpose either.
Feels like people are just lashing out after losing their literal 30 year old '94 controls
For me, I don't think it should be removed but what bothers me is that things that are actually difficult to do in real life like the one handed tuck and the Michigan are tied to 1 button and are easy to pull off. If you can't do these things, then im sorry but you shouldn't be spoon fed an easier way to do them. The Michigan is complex in real life and is rarely attempted and should be that way. Someone scored it now and it's just another goal.
This is also coming from someone who can't do it in rhe game. If I really wanted it in my offensive game, I would learn how to do it and practice it, just like real life.
For one hand tuck all they really removed was L1. I agree things are getting too dumbed down/simple but *shrug*, not like it's all that effective anyway
I attempted a Michigan, like, once and found it to be totally stupid - I reckon a lot of people felt the same way and EA was embarrassed they wasted so much time adding it.

For one handed tuck you had to hold left or right on your right stick then tap and hold L1 then tap R1 I beleive....still easy but isnt the minimun that should be requiered to do it anyway!?
The problem is it create a gap between skill stick and total control...then ask yourself, whats the point of skill stick if total control do it all but more? And way more easily
I would be fine if it was an handful of easy dekes like the one handed tuck and toe-drag but I still beleive it's wrong to have the michigan and hip check on one button...particularly because the face button hip check seems a lot more effective than the manual one from skill stick.
Total control has a clear advantage over the other controls and that doesnt sound right to me.I only use Total Control for the 1 button hipchecks - I truly do miss the little leg kicks/fake shots that Skillstick offers.
Hipchecks work just as effectively as before - The problem with skill stick was that the button combo is just plain awful and almost always leads to tripping penalties (it's not a skill issue, their animations and timing just don't jive with how fast paced the game is)
