why new controls? who is this for?

i have to play 50 games to get a win online, each game is a toxic sweat fest against what feels like professional gamers ..

so who was this new controls for?  10 years of muscle memory down the drain for who? who cant go into the practice rink and learn the controls ?

i have like a 400 skill rating so was this for me to be able to do "trick dekes" ..

and how am I playing people that can michigan for 5 goals a game and control the goalie like a pro gamer in div 6 or 10 with a 400-500 skill rating?

how can someone be .500 and playing me? that means they win 1 of every 2 games .. yet if I so happen to win a game I go up like 50 skill points .. so with my maths .500 team should be in like div 3 and not playing against me in the last bottom div

    It's ridiculously annoying. The new controls are bad. Really bad.

    2/10 bad.

    @Jdlh8125150 I am in the same boat as you. I am very curious as to who this change was made for? I've frequented these forums for the past five or six years at least and I've never seen any real complaints or issues with the previous controls. I saw a ton of people asking for full presentation mode to be brought back which it wasn't, but I didn't see anyone clamoring on to have the controls completely overhauled. So I'm a little bit confused over why things that have been requested to change haven't and why things no one asked to change have changed.

    I absolutely dislike those new controls! Do I really have to check everytime I don‘t remember which button is what, before a game, or whenever I start NHL? Sure, why not, we all got plenty of time.

     Why change something that worked for the last decade? Maybe someone can answer our questions.. 🤔
