Can we get some defense in this game????
So EA, when are you going to let us play defense in this game??? Every game is the same thing. Flat-footed AI defenders backskating while the forward spams the hustle button right past for an easy ...

@MetalHead0703 We play 6 vs 6 EASHL and usually have one AI Defender and goalie and it is horrible. They let the opposing player run right by them and then the goalie can not hug the post on the back hand. It is so bad
- @Spawnessj Because AI shouldn't be a game changer for a mode that should be 6v6 humans. It's done like that on purpose.
- @KlariskraysNHL I am not excepting them to be great let alone good but If we have to play with one AI defender on our team he should at least try and defend. He just lets people run right by or he is completely out of position.
I agree completely with what both you and Follisimo are saying. The problem is that once again EA has things completely backwards and make the AI TERRIBLE at defending the rush to the point you can literally straight line past them. But they are god tier at shutting down the cycle once a team is set up in the zone.
The AI shouldn’t be game changers at all and should be treated like they are crap, but at the same time, the way the AI is programmed punishes passing and team play, and favours one man shows, just like AI goalies do now as well. The developers honestly need to be replaced because the vision they have for this game is backwards in every way possible.
Tired of complete lack of skill being favoured in this series, and skill being punished. Gets worse and worse year after year as well
