Community ManagerThe NHL 94 controls are not returning. Can you tell me specifically what the difference is? As far as I know, Hybrid are the same except for faceoffs. Which you can do just by flicking down on the right stick. Otherwise, you can still shoot and pass with the face buttons.
hybrid orders and 94 orders are not the same I tried to adapt and I can't and several people are in my situation. why don't you want to understand?? man is capable of going to the moon but you on a simple game you do not want to bring back the controls 94 that several requests. there is even a petition circulating for its
My son won't play 24, and now 25, as he preferred the simplified controls. It was easier for his smaller hands, and was simplified, the new controls he can't stand so while I move up, he refuses to play after the switch. It really is not difficult to keep the old controls as an option. Removing them completely and ignoring the many requests to make multiple options, is simply arrogance.

Which controls are they not able to use specifically? Hybrid controls are almost the same as the old NHL 94 controls.
I drive a Ford you drive a Chevy why do you a car is a car so why not drive a Ford oh gee it is because you prefer Chevy over Ford but they keep both styles don't they but my point many like to have as many options of game play like the control's you have not given one true reason to remove them other then you deciding what's best for us. Remember like EA sports always said if it is in the game it is in the game well NHL 94 controls were in the game but now they are gone not because they don't work but because you like to give and take thanks again for saving me now two years in a row $70.00 now that is not going to be in the game but in my pocket.

What is missing from the Hybrid controls? Without knowing that, there is nothing I can relay back to the team to support returning them.
Hi! Longtime player here of the NHL series... literally have bought every game until now.. and, literally, this topic of no 94 controls, is the only reason I will not be buying NHL 25... because, without those controls, I physically will not be able to play the game. I have a physical disability, and, because the positioning of my hands, I can only reach two buttons and one analog stick. Total. The 94 controls were perfect. Shooting (wrist and slap) were in one button (tap for a wrist shot and hold for a slap shot). That’s the difference from hybrid to 94 controls. It’s not just faceoffs. I can’t even do faceoffs with the hybrid controls because I can’t reach the right analog. I guess I can’t speak for everyone using the 94 controls, but it’s understood that we might be missing out on the cool/innovative/new controls that is being built into the game, but having no 94 controls is having us miss out on the game entirely. The decision to have no 94 controls is hindering players, and, in the end, losing money on game purchases for EA. I hope this can get fixed. Not another NHL game will be purchased by me until it does... simply because I cannot physically play the game.
