Video how AI let enemy score.

I fully understand the AI isn't perfect. However, this goal could have been defended. You caused a turnover in the neutral zone that lead to a 2 on 0 against the goalie due to some rough defending. The AI did not just let them score. The human interaction was the main reason this happened.

I'm always the first guy to blame the user and in this case, there was some blatantly poor defending happening, and I'm almost certain the strategies are all set to full pressure, full forecheck etc..

However....

This is a serious problem. Obviously, this is the RW covering up for RD due to the terrible player control and defending, but like @TTZ_Dipsy has said, the A.I. needs to be looking ahead a little bit. The RW seems to abandon coverage the instant the puck crosses into the D-Zone. This tells me that the A.i. is programmed to "evaluate" the situation when the puck traverses zones. The re-evaluation in this scenario caused the RW to decide to abandon and get right to his position of covering the point.. despite the fact he should've been engaged in the scoring threat.

There needs to be some kind of logic for the A.I. to think, "I'm an RW covering for RD. There's an opponent with a clear path to the net. Do not give up THAT coverage until the scoring thread has dissipated" Let the trailing RD cover the abandoned RW coverage at the blue line until the puck clears the zone, and then have them swap back.

Of course, this whole scenario could've been avoided had the user been aware of who he was pulling out of position, taking control of last man back with some better timing and making a pass or dumping at the blue line, rather than causing a clean turnover. 

Definitely user error, but there's also some glaring a.i. coverage problems that need to be cleaned up.
