I noticed it a few times last night in just the first few games. Ah well, live and learn. We'll see how NHL 18 is.

It won't change. It's been like this for years now.

I found that the only way I could get any fun out of this game was by playing position lock.
When my CPU teammates have the puck, my opponent would let them walk right in.
If I was passed the puck, it was like skating through a gauntlet of angry muggers and lumberjacks.

The game is programmed that way for a reason. The AI is so brutal, that if your CPU teammates attacked the puck like they do, your CPU opponent would never score a goal.
So they make your teammates docile and give the CPU boosts so that every player they control is a combo of Lucic and Crosby.

I'm completely done with this series. They can add all the bells and whistles they like, but the gameplay and AI is absolute garbage.
