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...

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)
@TTZ_Dipsy
See? you use total control for the one button hipchecks...thats exactly what is wrong with that control. Pretty sure the one button hipcheck animation is faster on total control and way easier to do it at full speed.
And again, hipcheck is kinda rare in real hockey so it should require a minimum of skill to use, now it's used left and right at will.
Hold R3 then L1, a bit clunky but seem a lot more fair than what it is now.
Leg kick is still easy, hold L1 then tap R3 😉 ....When fake shot require more skills than hip check lol..A lot of people seem to forget hipchecks used to soley be tied to R3 and it was never an issue.
L1+R3 was exactly why old hipchecks were so awkward and caused so many penalties - it was such a stupid design choice and now that's how you do a simple fakeshot? So dumb.
I don't disagree its not a proper way of doing things but it is still a video game at the end of the day and needs to be intuitive for a sport as fast paced as this. Having to step 1 step 2, ok now step 3 to initiate a move just bogs the game right down.
It's just really weird to me seeing so many people freak out about losing hybrid and 94 controls, yet they are adamant Total Control doesn't belong
- @TTZ_Dipsy Considering hip checks barely exist in hockey, maybe a stupid button combo makes more sense?
