 Players are able to select from three different control schemes, called ""NHL '94" controls", "Skill Stick" and "Hybrid"; "NHL '94" controls are very simplistic as they strictly use the controller's buttons for actions, aside from moving the player, which the left stick does; Skill Stick controls utilize the controller's right stick in order to both shoot and deke; Hybrid controls are similar to "NHL '94" controls but have some more action options.All schemes have dedicated goalie controls, for when the player manually controls one, which are the same across all schemes.If they wish, the player can enable the On-Ice Trainer, a system made to assist the player as they play.
