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 e...

In the following videos you can see what I mentioned. I just want to point out that my aggression is at 0/100 and my fouls are at 90/100. This happens several times every game, when the CPU takes him down and I can't do anything about it. It's also nice to see the "invisible bubble" that I mentioned, because I drove into the CPU player at full speed in order to take him down, but he barely staggered and kept skating. In contrast, my player is out of the hit and it seems to me that hitting puts me at a greater disadvantage than the CPU. In the shorter video, the CPU defender took down Tkachuk completely senselessly, I think, without the puck... no foul... and of course I'm at a disadvantage because I'm being chased by the hyper-aggressive CPU again, and if the CPU takes down two players like that in the meantime, what the hell am I supposed to do? Of course then a counterattack and a goal...
To the longer video... but that hit (foul, again not whistled) doesn't even respect the laws of physics... again I was minus one player at that moment... I can be the best player, but there's simply nothing you can do about this...
For God's sake, if nothing else, then quickly reduce the CPU aggression, it's unplayable...

Community ManagerThanks for the details and videos. I'll get them passed on to the team.
EA_Aljo actually you always say you'll send it to the team but nothing ever changes.
I'm sending another link to the video, and here you can see how serious it is.
To give you an idea of the situation, I tried to stay in the attacking zone and pass to the defenders. Unfortunately, as you can see in the video, the CPU defenders can't stand it after a few seconds and start taking down my players without the puck, most often crosschecking. Of course, the referee won't call a foul... I repeat again that my CPU slider aggression is set to 0.
Why the hell is this happening? Or rather, why haven't you fixed it in May 2025, 7 months after the game was released? It's so frustrating to play this game. You mentioned that the overly aggressive CPU is intentionally set so that my players don't just solo all over the field. But when you see this... and this is just a fragment of everything that such a hyper-aggressive CPU can do, to score a goal you have no choice but to run the entire field along the boards with one player, hope that some psycho CPU player doesn't illogically take you down and then pass it to your teammate in front of an empty goal. Alternatively, the second option is to throw/shoot the puck from the blue line and it will somehow fall there. If I want to combine and hold the puck, you can see for yourself what happens.
I hope I get a different answer than: "I'll pass it to the team"

I relay the feedback, but that doesn't guarantee it's going to be acted on. We are aware of the aggression of the AI players. This was intended. Hopefully, it will be balanced better in the future though.
