Nhl 24 the game for everyone and anyone.
This used to be a game that took skill to be good at. Many of us have spent decades trying to master the skills to get where we are now. It's more than obvious that EA have given up on us loyal fan...

@Limp_KidzKit I can't remember his name but on NHL 23 he was very into making a lifelike experience and with rosters too. He had the game playing very sim-like and said it required you to play your positioning almost exactly how you would need to be. He also position locked to defense too. So with tuning the AI can play very great it just requires you to play exactly how they want.

My entire point is that the current strategies in the game are not "sim-like" even with perfect execution. Sure, I don't doubt their ability to play their programmed strategies to perfection, but the strategies when executed perfectly are fundamentally flawed.
This is very apparent when the puck is in the zone. There is zero AI understanding of assignments and how to keep said assignments. A simple "3 high" look will not see the defensive center taking the "extra" guy. Everything is very obviously a "zone" foundation when high-level hockey is primarily M2M for all intents and purposes.
So no matter the sliders, the game is unable to be even "sim-like" when you see very obvious positional errors in all zones that I believe can be mitigated by a different approach to how the AI execute forechecks and mark assignments in their own end.
