I downloaded the gameplay update and then started the franchise mode on my Series X full of anticipation .. I hoped that the developer would at least find a way then bring back the flow of the last few years ... Gameplay update loaded in. Franchise mode extra changed back and forth .. but the anticipation quickly turned into anger and frustration. There is still no trace of the old playing feeling on the ice, you never really have the feeling of being the master of the players on the ice. Either everything works or nothing..
Already in the first third I two disability penalties against me, both times the AI controlled my player. in the repetitions you could not find any disability, on the contrary if that was a binding, then from the opponent he put in front of me and fine, so that I can storm the goal. My team had just conquered poker because counterattack should now begin. My striker was alone in the direction of the opponent's goal, but was whistled back shortly after the center line. What had happened? Since I was in BU possession, this makes no sense, the repetition showed that my right winger also wanted to start sprinting, but an opponent stood in front of him and slowed him down. There was no real contact, only that my player had to brake, stopped briefly and continued to sprint, since my team was in Puck possession, these penalties make no sense, the second penalty was very similar and again there was no lazy to see. I have gradually reduced the settings for disability Ki teammates in the end even to zero, it made no difference.. there are constantly penalties for disability. Okay, Ea NHL Games always had one or the other mistake... but then at least the feeling of the game, the flow of the game and the fun of the game was short, it's just always fun.. NHL 24 is a torture not only because of the unfair fraudulent AI. Especially when you have the feeling that the AI is taking control whether in my favor in favor of the opposing team. The AI just does not play as in the previous offshoots (last in NHL20) intelligent ice hockey and constantly learns to do so every game becomes an experience, exciting and demanding but never unfair. Is it due to the Frostbike, because other games have a similar problem, see currently UFC 5 here too you can clearly feel the point when the AI intervenes .. where kicks and blows hit before, they are now loosely blocked.. heavy and good meetings show hardly any effect despite full endurance, battered AI players hardly go to the ground from here, suddenly a LuckyPunch from the opponent Which looks neither heavy nor spectacular, but we go to the ground and stay lying down ko.. likewise some key combinations suddenly no longer work.. My fighter forgot his roundhouse kick (modifier button plus kick button) in the middle of the fight. Either he does nothing at all or a slight low kick! Back to NHL 24. Is there a chance that this or the following NHL games will get a learning artificial intelligence again? It's just no fun to be cheated, I now notice in the game immediately when this point comes.. an opponent's attack that leads to a goal success is at some point not negotiable at all or only with luck, but then my player does not succeed in a reasonable pass.. a Patrick Kane hits From a distance the empty tone was not played out of the goalkeeper by pass,. in my eyes is this a tail of the AI that secretly manipulates the parameters of the game in the background? And it is not over, but to my disadvantage under their advantage. I also think the penalties for a disability against me, which are not, is also just one of the ways in which the A.I. cheats on us players .. funnily, it could even be proven that the AI changes the during the game, until the penultimate update and a gameplay rules I adapted about the game just wrote during the match just like that. Especially since the name of the preset of the gameplay controller no longer bore no name, but was now called NHL24 again and jumped back to standard .. even saved it was .. which is actually not possible ..
I loved you nowhere were there such great and demanding AI offline games as with you .. I know you will deny it again and say that I lie and that there is no such thing...
Strangely enough, you have changed the forum rules in terms of A.I. this year, suddenly you are no longer allowed to talk about this topic here and threaten to be blocked. It does not matter whether you argue sensibly and at all times friendly and by no means offensively.
