Had enough!

I think "broken" can be used as a strong word cause as a whole the game "works" but I think it's full of immersion breaking aspects and it is more of a far stretch from what hockey actually is.

The play and team AI just doesn't know how to handle itself. From being out of position, not knowing what the correct position is to being solely locked on a player/ice position that they can skate right by a loose puck without an interest to get it. 

From AI teams not being able to handle injuries (playing forwards as DMan cause the same mechanics for user players dont work for AI teams) to making a trade/find with an AI team in franchise mode and they leave the player in the AHL even though they wanted the trade and the player would be one of their best defensemen (it can't handle dropping a current roster player with less overall to put in the new player). You would think this would be simple fundamentals as user controlled teams has pop ups asking to make moves or auto drops as player to make room for the traded player... How is it that the AI controlled team does not follow the same in game parameters.  Even how simple it is.. this alone can got myself deter me from playing the game and going to something else.

@EA_Aljo if you need a video of non functioning logic I can add one. 

So is the game ultimately broken... No cause it does work to some degree but is it's fun,  functional or immersive.... That is where the real debate is.... Cause in a lot of ways it seems to try so hard to make sure it is not.
