Absurd gameplay vs AI recently

You need to town down the AI icetilt or ice iq, whatever you are calling it, for offline play vs the ai in squad battles and wild card. Its just absurd the way the game plays - i have a stacked team yet im consistently outskated by horrible teams, every ai player can obliterate any of my players by simply touching them, the ai stick checks have bizarro range and can take pucks away even from behind. When i try to put hits on the ai they have shields of some sort and i just bounce off them. When i do drop them, they instantly get back up and take the puck while my player recovers from delivering the hit. Ive been playing the last five years so im not a newb, but if i was i wouldnt play this game with the slider stroke somebody had at ea. And im not talking about difficulty, its the way you are creating difficulty. Its not fun when you build a great team and the sliders make far weaker teams outplay yours, but even worse, when the things the ai does defy reality. I was trying not to complain this year but my god its just ridiculous and takes all the fun out of the game. Put superstar back to what it was and make a new difficulty called full **bleep** or something, and maybe you can improve the rewards for this new setting by offering an extra bronze player for any sadists who play it.

  • EA HUT moments are absurd, I have accidentally bumb the goalie the other day and get rejected out of the freaking zone they are twice my strength, I have pareyko 90 overall and Chara 85 overall as D and they pass through me I can't hit them, they bend a bit and continue skating like I don't exist at all ...... but if they touch me I get thrown out of space

  • I have said the same. ANY player on either side EXCEPT the human controlled player should have the normal attributes, i.e. not heavily weighted towards the AI side. The "Superstar" part should be based on how the PLAYER plays, not how the sides are weighted.

    Simply increase reaction time from one level to the next. That is all that's required. Don't make one team AHL quality and the other NHL quality

    It makes for VERY aggravating gameplay
