How many times does this have to be said? There is in fact ZERO comeback code. The only sort of comeback code is computer AI changing its forecheck, breakout, defensive pressure and offense/defense strategies.

If you're collapsing and protecting the net they take perimeter shots. If you're playing tight point they'll try and find their way into the slot. If you're a player who plays one single strategy the whole game they'll most likely start scoring in the third once they ramp up their pressure and counter your strategies. I have no problem if I pay attention to their adjustments. If you blindly collapse and protect the net all game their going to continually take easy shots from the perimeter and score on screens/deflections.

It's called smart hockey, not comeback code. You think EA tell us CPU has a flat out skating ADVANTAGE in Superstar but lie to us about a comeback code?
I agree. When the AI ups their strategies to play more agressive I guess in a literal sense it is 'comeback code'. But it is realistic. And their extra agrssiveness leaves them vulnerable to odd man rushes just like real hockey.
