There is a difference in players, honestly there is, it's just not nearly pronounced enough, guys that are shut down defensive specialists like a Chris Kelly aren't allowed to shine because the AI just wasn't their for it. The AI was so driven on "Get the puck get the puck get the puck" That it didn't understand what a forecheck was or a backcheck for the most part, you'd still see the occasional move from an AI controlled 2 way forward to cut off a pass at center ice but it happened so rarely it really wasn't even worth mentioning. EA's saying it themselves, "We've worked more on AI this year than the last 3 years combined" Gee ya think? Stop adding new modes and focus that limited dev cycle and resources on the important aspects.

Realm, have you played NHL 13?

Thanks!
