Re: CPU Offensive AI -- did it get worse in NHL 10?

I don't play offline as of yet but I have dabled in a few play nows and see what you mean Flyer.

My biggest hope for tuning is your teamates AI. Especially when you are on the PP. I find online that giving up quality chances to the SH team is often a result of your teamate AI not supporting the puck carrier in any way. This was a problem in 09 as well but so far I often fear a PP to an online opponent as any mistake in the offensive zone or in the defensive zone on a breakout and bam...breakway or big scoring chance the other way.

I'm sure they can tweak it soo the wingers and other d-man supports the puck carrier to give him some outlets to get rid of the puck on a breakout.

An another note i'd love the check along the boards to result in a loss of puck. The majority of the time when you get hit on the boards you can just keep going on by like nothing happened. Whereas in real life that would be the minority not the majority....id also love to see atune where you lose the puck sharp stops in an attempt to shake a defender. High puck control/puck carriers not included in this.
