Re: AI/CPU Tactics Thread
This game has waaaaaaaaaaay too many issues, PK seems to boost the team's offensive awareness for some reason and PP seems to cause the team to play more conservatively, that's not how hockey is played and I swear to almighty God that EA Vancouver doesn't know much about the sport of hockey.
Seems when changing team strategy such as collapse at net or tight point, etc. When set to collapse, my teammates do NOT collapse hence leaving a player freely skating in front of my goaltender for a chance to tap/deflect it in 9 out of 10 times therefor I end up just having to switch to a defenseman and float in front of my goaltender everytime we are in our own zone.
I play GM mode and I find so many comical faults on both my side and the AI's side and it has been progressively getting worse since NHL 08 or 09- before that the NHL series played great most of the time (been playing since NHLPA '93).
Also the way AI plays is strange, I've played hockey for 18 years and rarely ever saw 4 players chase after the puck carrier leaving 4 other guys wide open like these screenshots.
