they should just go back to original controls
I couldn't disagree more.
I would be done with the franchise if they went back to the original, basic controls.

then dont buy it and the majority of the ones that havent bought nhl games since 14 will enjoy it since it's not buggy and hard.I couldn't disagree more.

Bought it every year until this year, that's a broken narrative. I got 15 games into a franchise and stopped playing since the core gameplay engine is so broken and scripted to give opponents a chance, even after working hours adjusting sliders and testing to make the game play a little better.The game is filled with bugs, but I haven't had any issues with bugs with the controls.
All the new controls did was give you way more control over what you can do, with or without the puck.
It's frankly bizarre you are suggesting that the developers make a change to please the people who haven't purchased the game in a decade. Why would anyone do that?

If they let us play like real hockey with zone entries, possession, puck movement, and actual offensive zone linemate plays and defensive zone coverage, rotation and puck acquisition by our AI teammates, each game would be 20-0. Instead the decisive plays that lead to successful hockey (goal scored or not) are on rails. The most frustrating part is seeing the computer opponent do these things but we cannot.
Biggest case in point - any puck brought into the zone is lost when it's even close to an opposing defender, and when the computer team has it in our zone it sticks to them like glue. Forechecking is pretty much non existent unless you spawn checking or stick lift and get hit with penalty after penalty. Adding an edge skating gimmick button press on offense and a cheezy one timer autoscore to "correct this" rather than rework the broken gameplay code is a bad fix. But I guess what's in it for EA as long as the microtransaction dollars roll in.
This isn't bugs, it's a fundamental core part of the gameplay engine and EA would rather slap a new feature than recode it. Praying for an engine switch to Unreal, because then they would have to. Ideally they'd change to a different dev team, like Tiburon who does Madden (has its own issues but at least plays fairly realistically)
They fix this so computer and player teams are on an even playing field and add real AI (you know the thing that's revolutionizing computing today) to the oppositon and our computer-controlled teammates playing hockey than running a script, then I'll buy it. Until then I'll wait to see if they ever fix it and get it for free 4-5 months later when it's a PSN game of the month.
do you play the game at all? or is just about franchise and hut? even then it's freaking slow too, i dont know how you say this is fun when you have to wait almost 2 hours to get through year 1 of franchise mode? you seem like you are just an enabler for ea, that's it.This is all nonsense.
What does any of his have to do with going back to the "original" controls?

alright what's your issue with going back to basic controls?I have never played HUT and I haven't played Franchise in at least ten years. I can't comment on how long it takes you to play Franchise.
I play CHEL, pretty competitively.
Again, I still have no clue what any of what you're saying has to do with a conversation about switching back to the original, basic, control scheme.
How do you think the controls have affected your ability to play Franchise? What the hell are you talking about?
Playing just WOC, this is the best release they've had in years. Control of your player using skillstick is the best its been since 2019 and where you put your stats actually have an impact on how the player performs on the ice.
