NHL24 Be a Pro AI
So I finally decided to start a BaP player in NHL23 (since I got the itch to watch some hockey) to supplement my normal online versus play and my lord... is the dev team aware of how horrible your AI...

I don’t think no one cares 😉 I do care. I’m just not playing BAP right now. Well at least I haven’t touched BAP in 23, spend the whole year trying to get the most realistic gameplay possible. When I played "BAP" I made my own version playing player lock, but that’s for another topic…
That being said, lot’s of AI behaviour can be tweaked with sliders and also player edits. I have a couple guys over at Operation Sports that are playing BAP with my setup and they are having a really good time… Here’s a quote from one of them:
"I've just realised something that's missing from your gameplay ...
That stupid situation where, when pressured, the AI retreats all the way back. I haven't seen it in the BaP games I've played nor in the videos you've posted. 😎😀
Wow! That's amazing. It was one of the main problems that put me off this game.
The big question is why. What have you changed that stops the AI retreating all the way back to their own net?
I doubt it is sliders, I'm guessing it's one of your player edits but could be the combination of both.
Again, WOW!!"

So if you wanna give my setup a try go ahead and maybe you will love what you see from the AI 😉 I also never called for a pass when BAP or locked, it makes it more realistic and if you get in a good spot on the ice, the AI will pass it to you 😀

Also, me and the boys are about to deliver another bomb 💣 in the gameplay department that we will deliver sometime next week 😀
Have fun !
Peace ✌️
- @PernellKarl027 I've tried your sliders for 23 as player-lock in season mode and it was ok gameplay-wise (if you like that "full-sim" feeling) but it did nothing for actual AI behavior. There is no way to edit AI behavior in this game like there is in NBA2k, for example. In 2k, you can edit player tendencies and it actually makes a difference in what the AI-controlled players will attempt to do on the court. IMO, NHL REALLY needs this.
I'll post a video/thread some time soon about my AI teammates' propensity for deking as soon as they cross the blue-line with the puck. It's so bad it's almost FUNNY. Suzuki/Caufield deke to the middle almost EVERY TIME on the rush.
As far as not calling for passes goes: I try to play that way but it's downright LESS realistic at times if you always refrain from calling for passes. I say this because the AI in this game won't make backhand passes up the boards when you're wide open as an outlet on the wing in your zone. You HAVE to call for it otherwise they'll just ignore you. Hell, I sometimes have to call for it in the offensive-zone as well otherwise one of my "top forwards" (LOL) will just turn straight into a body-check while carrying the puck. So bad.
I appreciate your response, though. I know you're passionate about the offline side of the game. That's the thing... I'm usually an ONLINE ONLY player but I DO like playing BaP to spice things up when I get frustrated with OVP.Thanks for trying my sliders 👍😀
That being said, just one question for you, did you also played with the updated roster ?
The AI is very customizable when you edit players a certain way, trust me. We’ve changed so many things in this game that was downright frustrating…
In our extensive testing and stuff under the hood, nothing is left untouched.., For example this is a screenshot of things used to monitor new DMEN and Goalies edits…
At a different time in the testing, we looked and focused at our DMEN, where they actually made a bonehead play in our zone or anywhere on the ice. Should they have made a pass here ? Did they see the winger near the board for a breakout pass ? Did they have that deer caught in the headlights on that play ? Should they have made a shot here instead of passing and playing ping pong for nothing ?So yeah, so much stuff gameplay wise that can be adjusted in the finest details, but it takes lots of patience, lots of craziness also 😉😆
We will be delivering our FINAL update pretty soon and in my books it will be a game changer for years to come 😀
- @NeonSkyline21 Fifa also has this for their Pro Clubs where you can edit pretty much everything about them. Height, Weight, Name, Playstyle, and more. Not sure about the offline modes because I don't play that stuff for sports.
