@runRAGEdotEXE While I agree with your second paragraph, telling the community manager that he should tell the dev team to "lay people off" is not really 'constructive feedback' lol.
That said: I think you brought up one of the MOST egregious AI behaviors they've programmed into the game. To be clear, I'm referring to when a team is about to go on the rush through the neutral zone and they pass it rink-wide to the far-side winger, and the defensive AI for some reason takes a step or two FORWARD, giving the offensive winger just enough space to burn him with speed. That kind of stuff is so lame. Either you switch to that D man even before the pass is made (so your prediction could be wrong) or you wait until the pass is made and switch and then get stuck in the pre-baked route that the AI was set on taking, effectively giving that extra room to the winger anyway.
I'd love for the Community Manager to explain why this is a programmed behavior in this game. If they come back and tell us that it's supposed to be like that to create more chances for the offense, I won't agree with it but I'll at least accept that it's intentional.
