@Limp_KidzKit I've been playing around with strats lately. Been asking ppl I played against to 1v1 me and test out new stuff because it's better to test it out with someone consecutively for consistency but no luck.
I've found putting the slider in the middle screws up the AI. It's either all the way down or up. Weakside lock sounds good but it doesn't do anything.
I personally use 131 because it's constant ppl straight lining at you so it slows them down. 122 blue is second best at stopping zone early players.
Funny enough, I've come to the same conclusion with the bias slider which is why I think it should be removed. I play offline NHL 20 and have settled on using the 1-2-2 aggressive with a 0/10 pinch and 6/6 on the bias slider as the AI in NHL20 are extremely aggressive so while the AI gives up some structure, I've found its the best possible solution to making the game harder on me when combined with my other slider edits. 2-3 leaves the middle open and leads to bad pinches, 1-2-2 passive gives up the boards, weakside lock does literally nothing..its like the "shooting" powerplay lol.
I also have had decent success with the 1-2-2 blue when it comes to the AI playing me hard in the NZ. In NHL 20, the AI don't play very great NZ gaps so the 1-2-2's can be a bit wide open down the boards which is why I just have them FC, they seem to respond better to playing in transition than in a set NZ for whatever reason.
Glad to hear someone is seeing similar results though. I think removing that bias slider would really improve the AI. Simply eliminates a "decision" or wahtever they're doing.."trigger" "target" idk what the preferred game dev word is.
