Teammate AI
Ok, so I’m hoping this works. Mind you the reason these videos are long is because I was streaming, I kind of wish they were recorded with my voice at the time because you’ll see subtle slo-mo happen...
Forum Discussion
I know previous clips have been about teammate AI, but here’s one of CPU AI that if I were controlling I would’ve been dumbfounded and angry AF.

in the clip above, Montreal forward gets to the puck first and smartly chips the puck to the defenseman behind him… BUT the defenseman lifts his foot and the farther defenseman is too far back to receive. Thanks to that I cut off and score. My question is, why is it that when you go to pass to the person you want the CPU just randomly decides no and cause a turnover that could’ve been avoided??
Sidebar to the clip above, please let us have the option in offline modes to go back to the button celly’s. It just looks so dumb after scoring to just be doing the lifeless glide before the cut to the spotlight celly. I’m not the biggest fan of the spotlight celly it’s just that the lifeless glide just takes the emotion out of the game.
Second clip: https://twitter.com/boredjason/status/1710510457834934503?s=46&t=VDcTiKkgVNHIhpeMzhe1jg
In this clip again is all about CPU AI. Why is it that this CONSTANTLY happens throughout the game on both sides? Players (this time Montreal) just collide at center ice and because of it, gives me a 2v1 breakaway? I know I would be so angry on the other side if this happened. So my question I guess is why do the players keep colliding on defense and offense? Is there a workaround or an upcoming patch?
Also again PLEASE make there an option for button celly’s after goals. It’s dearly missed in the offline community
It’s been a week. Here’s some more, mind you these two clips happened back-to-back. And you wonder why the offline community is getting angrier.
clip 1- https://twitter.com/boredjason/status/1712596474104516682?s=46&t=VDcTiKkgVNHIhpeMzhe1jg
In this clip we have the winger coming up along the boards as I look for freedom or an outlet pass. One forward (the center) does a logical thing of fight in front of the net 👍🏻, the other forward goes to attempt to skate into the corner to get open, hopefully a one-timer 👍🏻. LD stays put, love it. Here comes the anger. The RD either instead of staying put and being a mini traffic cone, or goes to fill the spot in which the winger was, just glides back not only to cut me off but be a damn brick wall and kill the whole play!!! After finally garnering freedom with a pass to the LD, AI for the winger skates at him? Or stops and gets confused like the RD like they don’t know where to go. To make it even funnier during the slo mo, as I try to pass back to the winger (why EA logic is backhand into the defender instead of forehand to him idk) the two forwards are STANDING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER in the faceoff circle pointing their sticks at who to pass to, instead of you know… trying to get OPEN.
Clip 2- https://twitter.com/boredjason/status/1712596750848954822?s=46&t=VDcTiKkgVNHIhpeMzhe1jg
over the years EA has said, even in these forums that this isn’t suppose to happen yet here we are. I understand both sides did a forwards line change, but then to sit there AFTER the change like what are we doing?? It’s a 0-0 game near the end of the 1st period? We conserving energy? Like please someone from EA help me understand the AI logic PLEASE!?!?!
@EA_Aljo anything from the devs on these clips and issues?

I'll pass them on. Thank you. I don't have any news on this though.
- @EA_Aljo I have a new one for you.

This one instance I went to pass back to the center who was open and behind me. As the puck is going towards the center he lifts his leg and the puck is instead going to the point to the d-man that’s covered. And because I was thinking the puck was going to the center I have my left stick going left as if he were to pick the puck up and score. So now the D man skates away from the play and the puck leaves the zone. This is an instance that’s happening way too much with passing. What setting do I have to change or slider do I need to fix with this?
Next clip is another complaint that I’ve had for a long time. I thought this was suppose to be fixed? Here’s 30 seconds of gameplay where the cpu that’s down 4 in the third just stops playing. Like the fact I could even line change like this is just jaw dropping

Hopefully these are good qualityGreat clips. I am glad you brought up the weird movement of the center during the breakouts especially after the faceoff. I love utilizing the center (which totally confuses your average opponet in ovp) but in this year's version feels like they are playing with handbrake on
