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.

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.
