I'd wager 2 and 3 man teams make up the vast majority of EASHL so they need to do a better job of balancing the AI - I don't want them superhuman or even just OK; I simply want them at a minimal state where they aren't a hindrance (this will trickle into every mode too so it would help the game as a whole).
Like, I get your point but human goalie controls are atrocious, defence hasn't been balanced in a decade, and 6 humans talking over eachother in a party? Yucky.
- KlariskraysNHL2 years agoHero+@TTZ_Dipsy Idk about you but when I'm playing 6s we all having a good time win or lose. 90% of the time we aren't even talking about the game til we need to. Like last night we were making fun of 1 of our friends who is a Maple Leaf fan..
But what is an AI that is considered good enough but not great or bad?
I actually don't have problems playing goalie. It's mostly about the team in front of you playing defense. Any game you finish with an 80% or higher save is like a win in 6s. I had ideas for simple goalie controls for things like hugging posts and such where LB hugs Left post and RB hugs right post but nothing ever came of it.- TTZ_Dipsy2 years agoLegend
@KlariskraysNHL My friends and I are super rowdy and constantly crackin jokes but we absolutely love winning more than anything and are good at it - not in a "win at any cost (ie glitch to win)" way, but in a "we hate to lose" type of way -- more voices would make for too many cooks in the kitchen when we wanna maintain our overall rank.
A Toronto fan.. RIP.
For starters, a bot who doesn't purposely take offsides or ignore calls for passes. They can be inaccurate on some passes but I don't want to see them having a stroke and just railgunning the puck in literally the wrong dkrection.
It's asking a lot but I'd for them to show an 80% boost in effort for various things - basically they'd actually poke or check 1/10th of the time now.
I'm the best goalie on my team but I'm significantly more beneficial as a forward or D - The only way I can see them making the role better is adding VR support. Team defense is crucial, but human controls are still weak and take too long to initiate on the fly.
Human G's make perfect sense in 6v6 because of the dedicated builds everyone has but any AI will currently just throw you to the wolves - having one basically turns any situation into a penalty shot
- KlariskraysNHL2 years agoHero+@TTZ_Dipsy See I think the reason we don't see them poke or really check unless you run into them is because of how 1v1 complained about skillzoning and thus said it should be the human deciding the games.
As for the call for puck thing I know in FIFA they don't really allow for bad calls as the AI will ignore you at times. And I believe it's the same way with NHL. We had people crying about always calling for the puck even in bad situations so they made the AI at times look you off if it was considered semi-bad.
How the AI plays is always a supersensitive thing. But if people are losing games because of the AI shutting them down while the human sits around it won't be very good time again.
