NHL 24 AI Feedback
I cannot stand the control play, the new plays, the players don’t even get the dam puck when it’s right in front of them, the computers don’t even make defensive plays at all in the attacking zone, I...

Nice try but AI players are not controlled by the us, therefore we only control one player at a time so if the other 5 (including the goalie) plays poorly. There's not much we can do about it. You can resist for a while, but not an entire game.
Also:
- when my opponent players magically block passes backward one handed but on the other end my AI players just look at the puck passing in front of them
- when my goalie gives a rebound and the puck stays right in front of him but doesn't grab it, instead he waits for my opponent to take it back to score a goal
- when the puck goes to the board and my player keeps reacting 2 seconds later than my opponent's to get it
- when a defencemen skates backward faster than McDavid on the rush
- when you hit the same player over and over with different players but he just won't loose the puck
- when you keep loosing faceoffs against lower rated players but when it's your turn to take faceoffs with a lower rated player, you keep losing them getting the "lower skill" message
What those have do to with strategies and gameplay. Those problems have been there for years and you are just making them worst year after year.
And NO, I'm not sending you videos.

The way you play will influence the decisions your a.i. makes. For example; if the player you're controlling is a defenceman and you decide to try a deep forecheck with that player - an a.i. forward with less defensive IQ will takeover that position. They will not cover players the way your defender would've.
This happens ad nauseum countless times per game. This is why you will see much more success when you know the players on your team and what position they should be playing in. So when you do take control of them in those frantic situations, you know where that player should be, and you know when to switch control to another player so as not to disrupt the coverage.
That's why some people will see the a.i. do crazy things while others seemingly don't have an issue getting their a.i. in place for executing the plays they want.
So you do have some control over the a.i. I'm not saying it's perfect. There are still issues. but you can mitigate those by being cognisant of who you're controlling and where they should be.
AI were two-way builds in previous titles and I can only assume it is still thr same now - they should be better than they are at pretty much everything.
I shouldn't need to rely on AI for anything but I also shouldn't feel like they aren't even an option ( or even on the ice at all for that matter). 2v2 and 2v3 games are all I got and I'm forced to do more not only with my limited builds, but to make up for the AI going haywaire because of it.
My club is currently 12-0-2 so its definitely possible to win despite them, but that doesn't mean its always a fun time

the ai arent even programmed to play hockey...how can you read the play? how can you define where they should be when the base strategies are all wrong lol? theres no correct AI positioning present in this series for any modern hockey concept...telling someone to read the play is like telling someone to read wingdings fluently

Here, I take control of 55 in the bottom-right. I do this to block the outlet pass but also to let my a.i. work. I KNOW that I'm in the proper position and that my a.i. will become agressive due to the strategies I've set.
So I do two things here; cut off the pass and use my a.i. to pressure the puck carrier, which is exactly what they're programmed to do in this scenario. A straight up hockey play, perfectly executed by the A.I. And look at #81! Cutting off another potential pass. How does an a.i. 'not even programmed to play hockey' make plays like this? random? By chance?
and just before we get all "well this doesn't work against skilled opponents" - this opponent had a 600+CR, ranked in the top 200. And yes, I lost this game lol
The best AI disaster is playing 3v3 and calling for a pass from the AI. If your on your own half of the ice the AI will throw the puck backwards for no reason when calling for the puck. Even if you’re in front of them. It has been this way since NHL23 and no one has addressed it. I’ll get some video because it’s quite annoying. Only solution is to not manually ask for a pass from computer until you cross the red line.
