Classic NHL94 Controls

Dude seriously you sound like a kid refusing to his eat his veggies and making false threats to never eat again. Just learn something new and stop being a giant baby about it. Hybrid is very close to it. Were not living in 1994 anymore, NHL 25 is coming out, I think it's time to put our big boy pants on and try something new.

I give our community manager a lot of credit for dealing with you, I wouldn't even bother responding to such silliness.

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.

For me it is the shoot button. I like the basic shoot button and not have to choose between wrist and slap shot. 

That sounds like a wrist shot. You could just use the wrist shot button in that case.

Some situations call for a wrist shot...some slap shot...easier with one button like in 94 controls. Where it is based on shot power.

Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully, with these buttons being next to each other, people will be able adapt to using the right shot in the right situations, but I understand if that's not possible.

The qua-zai futuristic controls are not learnable bro.. I too really rely on the NHL 94 controls & after being a loyal customer to EA for 25 years I get spit in the face & I have no intentions on buying the EA NHL games again unless they are brought back

Okay, in search of a solution for this confusing control or even a “classic mode”, I have now ended up here.

To give a brief explanation... a few days ago, a PS5 was set up here for sports games – and I recently beat, scored, celebrated and bit into the controller with NHL 2005 with countless seasons and a lot of fun and sore fingers... albeit on the PC. Then there was no longer any NHL for the PC. :/

Now, I thought, it's time for the heroic return to the ice. I only lost, not won a single bully, but at least got the puck into the goal with a few controls.

I'm not in the game for “operating 70 buttons variably to get the last effect out of ice hockey” - I'm here for the fun. But I'm not having any fun right now... because it's way too complicated. What's wrong with a “classic mode” for the controller? A mapping of the controller and the omission of features that I don't need for my living room offline tournaments with friends.

FC24 also has a “classic mode”... so why not in ice hockey, too?

Did you try the Hybrid controls? They are almost identical to the NHL 94 controls.
