Classic NHL94 Controls
I see others have posted separate threads on basic game requirements, so here's another. Will Nhl25 bring back the classic controls that were removed in the 24 edition? Many of us require/enjoy t...

I agree with keeping the 94 controls as a possibility! Its easier for new/ newer (younger) or older (parents) to jump into the action with their kids. I dont think it would be too difficult for programmers to put that into the game considering you are saying players can incorporate it themselves via the system? Hopefully you are able to carry on this play style for the players and their families. Thank you for your time and we all look forward to seeing the new product you are able to produce for our entertainment.

It would be helpful to know exactly what needs to return. As far as I can tell, the only difference is faceoffs where you need to flick the right stick down instead of press a button. If you have any feedback, please let me know. Thanks!
Speaking of controls. Any chance to re locate puck protect from L3 and reverse hitting from R3?
L3 puck protect messed up manual deking at times

If you use Hybrid, reverse hitting has been removed from R3. I'm not aware of any other changes so the best I can advise is to get a controller that allows for remapping of the buttons to a different profile. I personally use an Elite 2, but there are others that have this feature as well.
My suggestion was just leaving the 94 controls as an option (simplified). the other options may still be available just for new/ newer users to have something they can use until they feel comfortable. the new game style with hitting a button to do a Michigan shouldn't be a thing either. my idea would allow new/ first time players a chance to jump right into the action. I'd like the NHL community to continue to grow and allow more users to want to purchase/ play the game so it can continue to expand. I'm sure people with physical limitations would also benefit from simplified version of the controls as well. I'm hoping I covered all the bases when I speak for those in favor of the 94 control options still being incorporated into gameplay in NHL 25. Also, what you are suggesting is already the 94 control set up to use the joystick to win draws but using the square x circle and triangle to perform the two various shot types pass and hit. I hope you understand my break down if you would like more information please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your time and consideration on the matter.

Shooting, passing and hitting are all on the face buttons as they were with the NHL 94 controls. Again, the only difference is using the stick to win faceoffs so it's hard to understand how the Hybrid controls are not usable by those that prefer NHL 94 controls.
I only use 94 controls because Of my difficulties with my hands 3 buttons is easy and fun I can't do the dekes I just score and check it's why I play. I feel like an octopus in nhl 24 I can't make combinations with my fingers work and score on a computer at the same time

The hybrid controls still use the face buttons to shoot, pass and hit. You also can remap the buttons through your console's controller settings.
