Hybrid Controls Glitch and Missing Hughes Pack in NHL 25

 
Description:
There is an issue with hybrid controls in NHL 25 that switches inconsistently between the correct control scheme and a glitched version.
 
1. X Button: Brings up the defensive lineup menu instead of performing a stick lift.
2. B Button: Brings up the offensive lineup menu instead of performing a body check or slap shot.
3. A Button: Does not switch players; instead, R3 is switching players, but it works inconsistently.
 
When the controls are incorrect, which is most of the time, it is impossible to stick lift, change players, shoot, or body check. The controls often switch between working correctly and the glitched layout, and they do not match the hybrid control diagram, making the game unplayable.
 
Additionally, the Hughes Brothers Pack that should be included with the NHL 25 Deluxe Edition has not been received despite being part of the game description.

    Hello. Try updating the firmware for your controller. Let me know if that helps or not.

    Which pack exactly? The 99 OVR pack is received on NHL 24. For the 84 OVR pack in NHL 25, you had to pre-order before September 13th.

      I did not receive my 84 Hughes pack despite pre ordering before September 13th. I contacted support and they didn’t have any answers for me. Extremely disappointing paying 100 dollars for a game I’ve always loved and not getting the perks that I paid extra for.

    • Never mind I think it was just one of those times where it started working again. Still no hybrid controls after updating my controller.

        Can you try a different controller? I'm not seeing other reports of this so it doesn't seem like a widespread issue.
