Re: NHL 12 - Canadiens vs. Penguins (Full Game)

I agree, AI was a problem in every title but to me, it's just getting worse. The videos from Chase just scares me about what will happen.

I'm about stopping to fight against the AI and play the game controlling every player on the ice on my side, and make the AI play the toughest they can on the other side with the sliders.

Maybe it's impossible to replicate a scheme for a hockey game. Maybe I'm just asking too much from the AI and I should be thankful to have at least something that looks like hockey.

Maybe asking Hal Gill to play like Bobby Orr is an error to begin with!

No you're not asking for too much. It's ridiculous how many times I have scored goals in NHL 08, 09, 10, and 11 that were all due to lack luster Defensive AI. It has barely progressed at all from NHL 07. It just ticks me off. The worst of it all is that these dumb AI mistakes come at the worst times. If it's 2-2 in the 3rd and all of a sudden the CPU AI does something so dumb defensively (like the second goal in the videos) it just kills the game. It makes me want to turn the XBOX off because I feel like I cheated. It is just stuff that is so simple and basic in real life hockey, that just isn't represented in the game for some reason.

Thanks again Chase, for the vid. Hey...nice drop pass by you late in the third!

By the looks of things, I'm thinking I'm going to have a fun time with NHL this year.

LOL at you clattering Kovalev at every opportunity

I agree with you. But I like to do that with some ratings to have a better understanding of side effects of changing it.

By changing drastically a whole team you may find out more easily the impact of Def Awareness.

As soon as I can get a copy, i'll give it a try...
