EA is also working on making sure teammate AI knows what to do when you have an odd-man rush on offense. If you cross over into their lane, they will know that they should criss cross and position themselves for a scoring opportunity Also excellent along with players being aware of situations rather than just where the puck is. Goalies coming out to challenge to cut down the angle on a 2 on 1 for example. my edit -...this isn`t really correct,the goalie has to be conservative and still play both the shot and the pass ,....if his defenseman can tie up and nuetralize the open guy,then we can hedge our bets the puck carrier will shoot and wait him out. If the pass does happen,we can get across with our whole body in butterfly,instead of having to do the splits from being too far out,and out of position for the pass. If we come out and challenge too far,..then we are sitting ducks for a cross crease pass every time,whether we have an all star Dman on the play or not,.... Really digging what I'm hearing, I still want to SEE it in action however before I get a chubby about it.

I made and edit with an explaination.
