Lol that 1st clip once that player touches his goalie he's like I'm out don't worry about me running into or screening you.
As for the 2nd clip it seems more like the AI is going to their supposed position instead of going to the player who they should be going to.
3rd clip... I'm guessing #20 was a defensemen that cared more to get into what should be their position instead of just covering the man incoming.
Last clip I feel like there was no pressure on the puck passer and they had a clear passing lane. If you pause at the 8 second mark you see the pass is off the stick going to the player in front but the AI is still facing the skater not knowing it's coming. It's not until the puck is already halfway there that the dman sees it coming but of course will be too late to respond. I think if they let the AI tie-up and/or shove in front of the net there before a pass happens that it would solve that problem.
Overall lots of AI faults but I feel it's from them simply following their script sadly. I can't see them wanting to give the AI more tools as then people will resort back to skillzoning again. But as people have said for offline that doesn't help their cause when the AI should be more aware and adaptive.
In clip 3 #20 is an AI winger, which makes his desire to drive to the net really odd. Other than that I think you're spot-on on everything else.
I take it you were playing 3's in the clip? If yes I would assume the winger wants to play defense over the center.
