Exhaust Engine has always been there. It’s certainly in NHL23. The cpu can become dominant in the offensive zone and ramp
up their speed of passes. It’s almost like it was a bug that they decided to make into a feature! I don't know why people so hyped every year before than be disapointed. Maybe many forgot about last years removing of presentation.
@FroommeyI'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this (pretty sure it's in 22 as well) I found the CPU also plays harder in the final minute because it's trying to bridge the gap. I've seen guys like Jumbo Joe suddenly zip towards me like he's in his prime again. I'm not trying to accuse towards anything.
I actually like this tho cause your coach IRL should be pressing you to play harder in certain situations/ sustained pressure IRL can cause a team to play better, it just needs balance so it's not a guarantee/ players are still realistically playing to their abilities. I want to lose games cause the CPU earned it as fairly as me.
