True but in the other hand, with the pressure systeme they are creating a huge gap. The skilled team are going to make the bad one struggle a thousand times more in their Dzone. In both cases, it's terrible.
Skill gap? Knowing how to do a shitty move is a skill gap? Lmfao. Learn how to play the actual game good. How many Michigan goals has McDavid scored? Is he not still the best player on the planet? 🤡
@@Will_Buff If it doesnt require skills, everyone would be equally good, right? How do you explain bronze/silver players versus diamond/elite players then?
I found that when I set my dangler's agility to 87 along with elite edges, I could back skate as I crossed the blue line. But haven't gotten it to work for any of my other loadouts

I've learned all these moves when i first played on NHL 14, literally spent hours all night in shootout mode doing everything I could to learn all the moves just for something like this to come in game....literally shit
It’s just a game. It’s not real life. That’s what made the past games so good. Because they were FUN to play. Let’s bring it back to gaming now! Once and for all.
@@alliharris2884 lol as if skill moves are gonna get u past my enforcer defenseman with 90 speed... u small build nothing but using speed r the only ppl I like playing

They just crying because they spent 20 years playing the same game and new player base coming in from other more skillful games and beating their asses 😂😂
Nothing wrong with having it be one button. It’ll save some wear and tear on the expensive controllers. I know how to do them either way but simpler is better.
@@shanelarose9239irl the thing that keeps players back is their skill not because they can’t hit a couple buttons so it being based off attributes it would make sense
I spent time grinding to learn them and I would often do it right over and over and sometimes it just wouldn’t register correctly or whatever. The goals aren’t any easier to score and I have yet to see anyone I’m playing with but me land a Michigan bc they still don’t know how to time it. I don’t think it’s super negative tbh. I think the Michigan should be harder but like the datsuk flip is basically the same amount of buttons lol like it’s really not that different and I just do the older way for the one handed tuck too.
Same. I’ve scored three goals using the lacrosse move and only one opponent has done it against me. I’m P1LVL20 so I’ve played enough games to know what’s happening. The kids with 800 goals still can’t do it. They use speed and get constant breakaways. That’s what’s ruining the game. Not button control.
Also who in their right mind decided to remove the 94 controls it made the game super easy to handle pass with x shoot with o now every button serves a purpose it’s gonna be quite difficult to play offense especially with Nhl 23 making offense tough
personally from my experience i just got back to nhl and i played 22 ,23, and 24 and tbh i like 22 how the moves are like for the between the legs it's like 2 or 3 buttons and the datsuk you gotta hold the stick down drag it down like a slap shot then flick up for a wrist shot and to do the flip you hit rb or r1 on playstation but it's just my opinion tho
i think this is kind of a fallacy because skill is relative so if the controls are easier there will just be some other skill gap. the complexity of controls isn't what makes somethng more skillful. you could have a game with 3 buttons and there could still be a massive skill gap between players. Like old school arcade games for example
I get why people can hate it but for people playing the game for the first time or the people that have been playing but aren’t as good it makes them both look so good. Me personally I think EA is trying to even out the skill level of the players since people I’m sure have quit a game because of someone else’s skill
I'd like to add that reverse hit and protect puck on the sticks is just as bad, way to f-up our sticks and screw up with the skill stick. They really need to let us map out our controller settings. I would remove one of the one-touch dekes and add back reverse hit and protect puck on A/X.
They should have a hall of fame roster where you can choose from Gretzky, Lemieux, etc. including all the fabulous Russians over the years like Bure, Mogilny, Fedorov etc. Imagine the defence corps you could build. How about Pronger, Stevens, Bourque, Niedermayer, Lidstrom, and Blake. Imagine that Legion of Doom.
It's terrible. Moves separate the good from not so good with pulling the more "advanced" moves. The fact you can Michigan with Pat Maroon is a massive L
Worked on me. I haven't played an nhl game since sega Genesis in the mid 90s. This will be the first nhl game I've bought since. NHL 24 is light years ahead of madden 24. It's sad what madden has become.
@@mnmfreak502nhl has fallen so badly compared to last year. Nhl is one of my absolute favorite games and i deleted 24 within 2 matches because of choppy gameplay, crappy animations, and just overall bad gameplay. Buy 23, trust me
Same with every EA game. You can do crazy moves and it’s pretty easy. It’s made for all ages so their big target market is younger kids to get money. It’s always money
I think it's just for people who are casual gamers who wanna have fun. Personally, I tried it for like one game before I switched back to stick control.
Well, to be fair, between the leg was two buttons, L1 + R3 😂 Thats what I've been telling them on the nhl forum, some dekes were already easy enough so take one of them down and bring back protect puck and reverse hit on A/X
People getting upset that everyone can now enjoy to do these amazing moves without hitting every Damn button on the controller. By the way it doesn’t take away the uniqueness, just makes the game better
I've paid and I want to have fun once a month or so. Press a button do a move, have fun and turn it off. I support making online a full challenge but my offline game on my own fun should be effort free.
I turned on skill stick controls instead after 10 mins of owning the game. It felt way too much like 2K. As much as NHL sucks sometimes, I’ll always love the basic right joystick toe drags & spins. I fucking love the cleaned up back skating in this game too, tbh.
It’s a fully different layout. The new setup is designed to be able to shoot, pass or fake out of any of the signature dekes in the game, along with still having the skill stick for between the legs, windmill, or toe drags
I miss the old physics engine. In the new one the hits just don’t feel as good you don’t have that get off the tracks the train’s coming through feel if that makes any sense at all. The hits feel lighter and harder to land with any sort of consistency
I’m pretty casual, but I do like there being a skill gap. Seems like this game isn’t super new people friendly and neither are some of the dudes that play it 😂
I don’t mind it. I hear they don’t have hybrid control anymore? I never played with full skill stick. So I never did anything special like this during the game, so to me it’s cool. I still bust ass with hybrid controls.
I’ve tried michigans on total control and I can’t even do it but i understand some people can do it kinda just removes all the skill and knowledge of hitting it in other control like skill stick
I agree with you man. I’ve been a NHL EA purchaser for YEARS. I’ve been buying their games. I know I am all done buying them now on after they changed the controller settings I’ve had it with them. Pretty bad I spend over a $100 on the new game to only play it 6 times.
Funny part about this is that those moves will still require skill to score just because you can imput them easily, which doesn't mean they're easy moves. Plus, nobody will have a clue what tf they're doing for the first 2 months, so you'll be fine 😂
What no? It depends on how the animations plays out. If it just comes down to pressing a button quicker vs good poke/body checks no matter what than overall defence is screwed
I don’t really see the problem? Having all of these mapped to one button means you can’t necessarily do them on command, and raising the skill floor shouldn’t affect you if you’re a competitive player because a newer player would still struggle to beat you
Why is everyone complaining about this? What makes a deke hard? It’s not the combinations of buttons you need to press, literally anyone can do that, anyone could Michigan the old way, anyone could datsuk the old way, anyone could between the legs the old way, it wasn’t hard to press the buttons. What makes a deke hard is timing and actually knowing when to use it, so what if it only takes pressing triangle once to do the Michigan? It’s not like it will go in if you do it nowhere near the net or right on the goalie, you still have to perfectly time initiating the Michigan and letting go to finish it, it’s the exact same difficulty, without the convoluted control scheme. Controls for a move being convoluted doesn’t make the move hard, it just makes it more annoying to do dekes, for example the one handed tuck was so buggy on skill stick, you would stick handle left and press the bumpers at the exact same time and half the time it wouldn’t work and the other half it would do it the wrong way, with input lag making dekes require combos just makes dekes luck based gambles, which they already are with players that have low deke stats, if you make it so dekes only require one button you still need all the skill of timing and game sense without the bullshit of the player just not doing the deke half the time
They make video games for kids, they make the video games easy and will make a kid feel like a superstar. And the companies will get mad $$$$$$$. The companies don't care about 20,30,40,50. year olds want it would mean realism and less sales from Kids. Because kids can't figure out realism. So the companies make it so you just hit one button to do the rarest goal in hockey. To appeal to kids.
I like the option for Total Control skill moves, but at the same time the drag shot is insanely awkward your character rarely lines up with the goal correctly, so I've opted to not use it. I don't find the lacrosse shots helpful, in game you miss a good amount of the time. So I wish the Y was something else. Through the legs insanely awkward to shoot in game just like the drag shot. Its not a problem to me for it to just be a button though, its not that hard, half of my team and I growing up could do these shot/passes in real life. But the biggest fault in these controls is that they all end in a shot or a pass. They arent that great imma be honest. Its like the game isnt designed by people who play hockey.
He’s right buddy you’re just ass. No more 5 buttons and timing to pull it off and have it look sick. Now it’s just Y. And nobody cryin just speakin opinions…. U fucking fruit
I was taking about this on my stream. I feel like I'm playing nhl on super nintendo with better graphics. Totally got rid of stick handling. Why can't stick handling be super sick vs vise versa.
Terrible take. They’re catering to the casual player base cuz that’s the majority of players. I learned how to do the Michigan last year and it was incredibly hard to manage to pull it off in game. I have the luxury to be able to play multiple hours a day, and without that I would probably have never been able to do it. That’s why they added one button skills. You gotta put yourself in other peoples shoes. If you still want the satisfaction of hitting the button combo you can use the old controls.
@@CarPig I agree but I’m saying it makes sense from a business standpoint and it’s very obvious why they did it. You said it made no sense, which is a terrible take.
This is actually great! I don’t know how to do it and don’t even wanna learn, but I’ll be able to use that. Btw, it’ll still have the old version. Everybody wins.
Not in a competitive environment. If a difficult to pull off move is turned into 1 button that my 4 year old pulled off on his second try something is wrong.
Just when i leave nba2k24 to try out nhl24 .. i see disappointment but im honestly having fun its something new. I used to play a lil nhl back when i was young so this is like a fresh start of a sport game hoping its better than nba2k. The community is way better in nhl as far as i see 💯😎
@@johnjamesmclaughlinNo it did not, it made the game better and more fluid, punching with the stick was terrible and took away from an actual boxing experience. They made all these complicated swooping right stick movements for each round punch which takes too long therefore breaks up the ability to throw combinations fluidly, punching with the buttons made the game feel smooth and like you could actually string together punches on the fly. Champion is the only one that has an actual fluid stick system, but all of the other games had garbage punching mechanics, especially the stupid haymaker system, which was fun but also dumb and slow
@@trinidad510made it good for bad people when a person develops skills with the stick it became boxings button mad mashers didn’t matter I beat everyone anyways
The michigan literally almost never happens in the nhl. Even if you can attempt it with one button it should be nearly impossible to pull of in a game, and that should just be in the programming.
I kinda agree, now everyone who couldn’t do the Michigan will be able to but, I like it the competition gets better I think your upset people will be pulling this move on you more often.
so happy with the new buttons, it's great for those of us who just got absolutely F'ed with the hit and poke completely breaking the Defensemen. Now I can switch to shooter and not have to perform a 10 button fatality to do something cool.
EA is trying to bring in new players in the laziest way possible, this is so dumb, maybe if you double tap x rocket boosters ignite in the hip pads and gets you a double goal booster!
Counterpoint: It’s a video game meant to played. Most people play these games for fun. So it’s ok to do cool things while you play. Just in case that upsets people I’d like to add GAMERS RISE UP WE HATE EA
The people that make NHL 24 are all a bunch of fan boys that never played competitively. I actually won a contest and had a bunch of developers come to my house, interview me and record me play NHL 15. I ripped a lot of the game. But one in particular was ice tilt. They tried to tell me it didn’t exist😂 There was one set play the computer would always pull that I was able to show them twice in the same game🤣 They would get the puck in the corner, knock your goalie down, pass it to the point and put it in a empty net. They stole my settings and didn’t even credit me for them😡 I always customize the game settings to get a more realistic feel because I like to play 10 minute periods. They did pay me for the interview though. $50 and a game of my choice.
They've been trying to eliminate the skill gap for YEARS!. Its a SIMULATION game now. The game is in Control, it's deterministic of pretty much every sequence and outcome that happens each game. I'm not being rude towards you, I'm just frustrated af with this company. They're trying to take a beginner and a pro, and attempt to make their skill gap as equal as possible because they want the gameflow to "LoOk ReAliStiC"

But the biggest fault in these controls is that they all end in a shot or a pass. They arent that great imma be honest. Its like the game isnt designed by people who play hockey.
There should be different settings for the people who want to do the flashy stuff not in a stupid way
I think its great because i suck at pressing 50 buttons and combinations at once
Imagine crying over this 😂🤦♂️
He’s right buddy you’re just ass. No more 5 buttons and timing to pull it off and have it look sick. Now it’s just Y. And nobody cryin just speakin opinions…. U fucking fruit
I was taking about this on my stream. I feel like I'm playing nhl on super nintendo with better graphics.
Totally got rid of stick handling. Why can't stick handling be super sick vs vise versa.
I think I might be the only person who still uses hybrid
I was more upset they didn't change Be a Pro at all. They should go back to being able to spend a whole year or 2 in JR if you want
To be fair, it was super simple to do before single button presses
They made it so slow and hard to pull off so I feel it’s balanced😊
Terrible take. They’re catering to the casual player base cuz that’s the majority of players. I learned how to do the Michigan last year and it was incredibly hard to manage to pull it off in game. I have the luxury to be able to play multiple hours a day, and without that I would probably have never been able to do it. That’s why they added one button skills. You gotta put yourself in other peoples shoes. If you still want the satisfaction of hitting the button combo you can use the old controls.
Terrible take, having something handed to you on a silver platter isn't a great way to live life
@@CarPig I agree but I’m saying it makes sense from a business standpoint and it’s very obvious why they did it. You said it made no sense, which is a terrible take.
That’s dumb. I suck at the game. Now I can just do it with a button lol
I love total controls 😂
This is actually great! I don’t know how to do it and don’t even wanna learn, but I’ll be able to use that. Btw, it’ll still have the old version. Everybody wins.
Not in a competitive environment. If a difficult to pull off move is turned into 1 button that my 4 year old pulled off on his second try something is wrong.
@@chrisdranfield3828 buy my friend, there’s still the other option…
I like of the Michigan’s easy they had it to hard before
Seeing people defend it is why we get garbage yearly release sports games. A certain crowd just eats whatever shit is thrown into their mouths
You can’t fake shot tho unless you hold down LB and press right sticks
Just when i leave nba2k24 to try out nhl24 .. i see disappointment but im honestly having fun its something new. I used to play a lil nhl back when i was young so this is like a fresh start of a sport game hoping its better than nba2k. The community is way better in nhl as far as i see 💯😎
It sucks I can’t just press circle to shoot now I have to do right stick crap
I Michied these two fools twice in one game with Zegras tonight using triangle.
It’s like fight night when they added buttons
No you don’t know what you’re talking about. The very first Fight Night had button control as well as thumb stick control.
@@mlc9928 yes and it took the skill out of the games
@@johnjamesmclaughlinNo it did not, it made the game better and more fluid, punching with the stick was terrible and took away from an actual boxing experience. They made all these complicated swooping right stick movements for each round punch which takes too long therefore breaks up the ability to throw combinations fluidly, punching with the buttons made the game feel smooth and like you could actually string together punches on the fly. Champion is the only one that has an actual fluid stick system, but all of the other games had garbage punching mechanics, especially the stupid haymaker system, which was fun but also dumb and slow
@@trinidad510made it good for bad people when a person develops skills with the stick it became boxings button mad mashers didn’t matter I beat everyone anyways
@@johnmclaughlin9674 LMAO Yeah sure buddy
Ur like me we took a long time learning the skill moves in the nhl games before 24 and now everyone can do them I used to be good before nhl 24
The michigan literally almost never happens in the nhl. Even if you can attempt it with one button it should be nearly impossible to pull of in a game, and that should just be in the programming.
I love the new Total controls
My buddy hits one at least every other game with skill stick that takes talent
Controls are the biggest thing for 25
I kinda agree, now everyone who couldn’t do the Michigan will be able to but, I like it the competition gets better I think your upset people will be pulling this move on you more often.
I love the skill moves in nhl 24 so be quiet boi
It’s a hard thing to pull off because a lot of people can’t do it. That is why I agree it should be hard to master. They shouldn’t have added that
so happy with the new buttons, it's great for those of us who just got absolutely F'ed with the hit and poke completely breaking the Defensemen. Now I can switch to shooter and not have to perform a 10 button fatality to do something cool.
That's the whole point tho. You should have to learn like anything else in life
@@shanelarose9239 already took years to get good at defense now I don’t have to do the same for off. Good deal for me. Lol
Nhl 24 needs to fix the penalties the hitting just the gameplay in general
EA is trying to bring in new players in the laziest way possible, this is so dumb, maybe if you double tap x rocket boosters ignite in the hip pads and gets you a double goal booster!
It’s going to work like fifa’s skill moves. It’s fine. Not easy to pull off and not every player can do them.
Its stiil better if u use sticks. But good for casuals
It’s better to help new players who don’t know idk why u don’t like it so much
You could just activate the old way to do it
Counterpoint:
It’s a video game meant to played. Most people play these games for fun. So it’s ok to do cool things while you play.
Just in case that upsets people I’d like to add GAMERS RISE UP WE HATE EA
W point
Fr not everyone is sweaty with the controller and we just wanna shoot some cool things
The people that make NHL 24 are all a bunch of fan boys that never played competitively. I actually won a contest and had a bunch of developers come to my house, interview me and record me play NHL 15. I ripped a lot of the game. But one in particular was ice tilt. They tried to tell me it didn’t exist😂 There was one set play the computer would always pull that I was able to show them twice in the same game🤣 They would get the puck in the corner, knock your goalie down, pass it to the point and put it in a empty net.
They stole my settings and didn’t even credit me for them😡 I always customize the game settings to get a more realistic feel because I like to play 10 minute periods. They did pay me for the interview though. $50 and a game of my choice.
They've been trying to eliminate the skill gap for YEARS!. Its a SIMULATION game now. The game is in Control, it's deterministic of pretty much every sequence and outcome that happens each game. I'm not being rude towards you, I'm just frustrated af with this company. They're trying to take a beginner and a pro, and attempt to make their skill gap as equal as possible because they want the gameflow to "LoOk ReAliStiC"
More packs to buy the more you support this kind of game play. It's rookie noob mode for everyone.
It’s a huge selling feature ma man, and they trying to SELL. And you know dis!!
I am the man who does the skill goals with skillstick
Those devs were total non-hockey playing dorks. (Nhl24 has a new team of devs)
It’s honestly annoying as fuck anymore when people show off something new they like but talk like they don’t like it.
What😂
Totally disagree the skill moves before we’re too hard to pull of some of the controls to do anything sucked.
