Very disappointing news... Well, NHL24 is shelved until late October... Epic fail of the development team, and whoever's decision it was to remove the Hybrid Controls!!!

EPIC FAIL!!!

Although not available in this patch, we’re aiming to deliver the previously announced Hybrid Controls and Goalie Control updates in late October. We appreciate your patience surrounding these features and are working to get them into the game as soon as possible.

See? EA never disappoints in proving me right. New Dev Team. Old Dev Team. EA will always be EA... Billion dollar, worldwide company BTW.

*sigh*

Welp... Time to make some space on my SSD until the patch actually comes out GOD knows when.

I was all pumped after selling my copy of the show on ebay to purchase the SE after work today from gamestop but decided after seeing this last nite to put that on hold and went with downloading Bg 3 on ps5 instead. simply due to hybrid not being in yet..the other things sound good for the most part so hopefully they get it in earlier than they say they will.

Now would be a good time for you hybrid guys to try and get used to the new total control option. You can still use buttons to hit, you just got to get used to the stick to shoot and trigger to pass.

What I find inexplicable (and frankly inexcusable) is that for a game which generates such a sizeable business and rely on hundred of thousands (if not millions) of users the EA team only found out in August what a big mistake they were doing by removing hybrid controls. Such a critical business decision (this is not just a technical decision) should have pondered and investigated way before, instead of going all in on a complete controls revolution by removing what consumers have used for years. At least they could have put Total Control as an additional option. Imagine doing something like this on bigger titles such as FC or Madden. It would be mayhem.
Unbelievable EA is so disconnected from their user base and act like an amateur company. Now the game is out; everyday that goes by without the hybrid control patch will only generate more frustration especially for those, like me, who are day one buyers and put faith in EA that the patch would have been available from the get go. Very disappointing and inexplicable from a business perspective
