Like I’ve said before, I honestly think each mode needs to be completely tuned separately. We should not be running with the same AI in 1v1 modes as we are running in Eashl. The AI should be pylons in Eashl because the mode is made for a full human vs human experience to where AI should have as little of an impact as possible.
1v1 modes, the AI need to be obviously better than they would in Eashl, considering you can only control 1 of the 5 skaters at a time, you don’t have another option.
Same goes for offline modes, they need to present a challenge to offline players, so again separate tuning for that. You can’t have what is deemed as a “challenge” by EA for offline modes, then apply those same AI to their online modes when all of them are played in a completely different manner.
Asking for a balanced game from EA is a long shot though, they can’t even get the basics of the game working without bugs, let alone providing a balanced experience. At this point, I honestly think the series has just reached its peak with the dev team they currently have, and I think there’s too many broken bandaid fixes they have done over the years that the core of the game itself just needs to be completely rebuilt and started fresh, which again won’t happen.
