Re: AI Penalties in franchise mode (or lack thereof)

@avsfan3196 I really feel you on that, it sucks so much that the opponent AI can pokecheck me and stick lift me with 100% precision, but each time I stick lift, it’s slashing even if I’m in the best possible position. Penalty killing is fun, but so is being on the power play, of course it isn’t as fun lately because the strategies and formations thing is all broken but it still stands. It’s been like this for a while, the opponent AI never taking penalties. I remember getting so * off last year, and I think in 21 as well.

    I play as the Avs and not getting a chance to unleash that Makar-MacKinnon-Rantanen-Landeskog-Nichushkin powerplay unit really sucks

    @EA_Aljo  It’s been this way for at least five years. The AI doesn’t trip, slash, interfere, nothing. Whenever they do get a penalty if you watch the replay it’s almost always an accident where you turned “at just the right time”.

    I’m really not trying to be funny, or troll. But people have been pointing this out for a half a decade. Did you guys really just become aware of this?

    The funny thing was it actually wasn’t that bad until after the last few patches/tuners 

  • You guys been aware of this for YEARS!!! and each time say "we currently have no updates at this time" FIX YOUR GAME! I mean we pay $60 to $70 then in game purchases! Least you could is make the game semi realistic with the penalty calling! UNREAL!
