Actually Nhl 17 is probably the very 1st sport videogame in their whole catalogue, where you can stop ai from cheating pretty easily and effectively.
Devs even simulate human- like behavior. Good example (and very needed one) is that now ai have to "charge" long/fast pass, just like you have to. Gone are the days when ai cheat you with 2-3 blind rocket tape 2 tape passes.
Well, its not 100% perfect, but we're getting there.
As I said you before, sliders in this game is hidden diamond. For me and I believe many of us, its the biggest gameplay feature from skill stick in 07, skating in 13 and puck in 15.
I just wish EA
pr team was little brighter about this and push/sell this more. Cuz honestly with default settings Nhl 17 LOOKS pretty much identical to 15.
Which is problem in these Youtube times... look ar the latest Gamespot's review and Im afraid another will follow.
The sliders saved the franchise for me this time, but you cant tweak the game forever, its time to ADD stuff to really improve!
