Nhl 25/26 control feedback #controls
As a longtime NHL fan and player, I appreciate the direction EA took with the Total Control system in NHL 25. It introduces a fresh, streamlined way to perform skill moves and dekes, especially for newer players. However, there's one major issue that prevents many of us from fully adopting it:
The removal of button-based shooting (Square = Slap Shot, Circle = Wrist Shot) makes Total Control feel limiting and less intuitive for players who struggle with aiming and shooting via the right analog stick.
Suggestion:
Allow players to use Square for slap shots and Circle for wrist shots within Total Control mode, just like in Hybrid controls. This way:
- Players who are comfortable using button shooting can still benefit from the Total Control deke system.
- The system becomes more flexible and inclusive, without sacrificing its modern appeal.
- Advanced players can still use the analog for full manual control, while casual or hybrid-style players get the comfort of classic mechanics.
This small change would dramatically improve accessibility and enjoyment for a large portion of the NHL community.
Please consider adding this option in NHL 26 — or at least allowing full customization of control schemes, so players can tailor their gameplay to their preferences.
p.s please add Polish language if u can 😍
Thanks for listening to the community!
