Can you please answer me these few questions?

Can you just answer me these few questions, EA?

Hyper agression

  • Why do 4 CPU players keep chasing me with the sole intention of taking me down?
  • Why is the CPU so aggressive and keeps hitting me even when I don't have the puck and even though I lowered the aggression slider to 0?
  • Why, when the CPU player often takes down my player pointlessly, does my player take over 10 seconds to get up and I can't do anything about it?

CPU vs. HUMAN (me)

  • Why are CPU players a little faster than mine and therefore I can almost never go into a break without having 4 CPU players stuck to my back, who will take me down from behind at any moment in a way that defies the laws of physics?
  • Why do CPU players have some kind of "invisible bubble" around them and I can't even take them down at full speed or normal hit? Why are CPU players so much more stable?
  • Why are CPU players always ready to collect my passes, bouncing pucks, etc., and my players (whom I don't control at the moment) are complete lobotomists and unless I explicitly switch for him, he won't do anything, even if the puck goes past him, or he's not even able to handle it?

Passing

  • Why is it almost impossible to pass to a teammate at a very short distance? I'm talking about tens of centimeters, for example?
  • Why are reverse passes completely out of the question and the puck always goes to **bleep**, even when I'm directing it like crazy and there's no other player around?
  • Why is the pass routing in general so terribly broken and if you want to make an unexpected and less predictable pass, you don't have a chance?

There are x more things that come to mind now, but I think these few questions will be enough to answer, thank you!

Please don't tell me you want to watch the video again. Just turn on one match and at least 80% of what I wrote will happen to you. I also wouldn't like to get an answer like: "that's something we know about"...

Whoever answers this... take your time, I'd like to hear relevant answers from you as to why these things are still happening more than half a year after the game was released. I'm sure more players would be interested in this.

P.S.: Could you explain to me the situation that happened in the attached video? You're the developer of this game, so you should probably...

    Hi there. Thanks for reaching out.

    For CPU aggression, which mode(s) is that happening in? Also, if it's taking you 10 seconds to get it up, it sounds like your energy was drained. If that's the case, you could try making managing your energy better as well as making running shorter shifts.

    The AI players are very aggressive. Most likely this is to prevent the cheesing of running out the clock without the AI attacking you.

    Can you get me a video showing the following:

    Regarding passing:

    Why is it almost impossible to pass to a teammate at a very short distance? I'm talking about tens of centimeters, for example?

    You should be able to very quickly tap the pass button to make short passes. It would help seeing video of your passing.

    Why are reverse passes completely out of the question and the puck always goes to **bleep**, even when I'm directing it like crazy and there's no other player around?

    Once again, need some video. I haven't had a problem aiming passes behind me so this would be good to see.

    As far as the video goes, that's a glitch, obviously. It shouldn't be happening and thankfully, it's less frequent than it used to be.
