    Yes. That's what I'm saying. Hybrid controls also support wrist/slapshots and passing on the face buttons.

    i thought hybrid controls were using left stick to move and right stick to shoot or pass.....are you saying i can use the left stick to skate and the buttons to shoot and pass

    If you get 24 or 25, you can still use the buttons to shoot and pass with Hybrid controls.

    Hi there. You should still be able to play the offline modes in these games. The online modes have been sunset.

    As far as which is better, not sure I can help there. I believe I liked 21 better than 18, but it's been ages since playing either one of those games. I tend to stick to the current NHL game.
