Offline AI is awful, makes offline modes unplayable from a hockey perspective

Nailed it. I, too, play offline on the hardest difficulty and have the same stuff happen. All I can do now is go into the settings and make my skating sliders lower. It’s the only way to even things out since defensive AI is nonexistent. It’s insane how easy it is to either blow straight by defensemen, OR push them into a corner and then just spin back for crease cheese.
