@Jagavekovonce I perfect my sliders I'll try handing them to you. One of the reasons why PernellKarl's sliders are allowing you to do that is the stark contrast in backskating speed, aggression and in general skating speeds that he has. The biggest one being the backskating speed.
I've got my sliders set up for position lock on G but I was gonna end up doing another set for skaters. The AI is improved from previous games, but it takes A LOTTTTT of tuning to get them to become challenging but not cheap.
That's fine, I will try them, but there are two main defensive AI problems that sliders can't solve:
1) They take the wrong angles towards puck carriers - they seem to target the back shoulder of the player, causing them to skate where the puck carrier WAS rather than where he IS GOING.
2) They prioritize covering open players and staying in position too much, at the expense of attacking the puck carrier. This leads to offensive zone play that looks more like an ISO play in basketball, where one player skates around with the puck (like in my clips), and if (more like when) he beats his man, no one else is concerned with stopping him.
