EASHL - Fix it please
Why can’t EA fix it and make it enjoyable? 1)Servers: How do you do them, EA? Why is it a coin toss entering a game whether it’ll let you play? You can’t skate, you can’t score. You’re skating in mu...

Ai is reactionary. Its decisions are based on what the humans are doing.
If you're on an EASHL team and you keep noticing how your AI is making all these mistakes while the team that's beating you seems to be getting the 'good ai' - that should tell you something and no, it's not that EA gives the 'tilt' to the other team - it's that they're making decisions that result in better ai performance.
There are glaring holes in AI logic when there's no human even near them or when a human is playing their position. For example: Why does the AI winger cut to the middle when I, as center, have an open lane for a breakaway, bumping me and going offside? Or as D skate in front of you clogging the passing lanes. Why does AI hustle to the corner to race for a loose puck, only to suddenly abandon the assignment, stop at the hash marks clueless, and let the opponent take easy possession? Why do both the LW and RD leave their assignments to double or triple me in the left corner, when im LD? These are not single cases, but happen multiple times. What is the AI reacting to in these situations, if not the clear flaws in its logic? This year the AI is just plain dumb.
Yes, the AI also reacts to humans and what they does on ice, depending on connection quality. We have experimented what the “elites” of 2s or 3s does; stay out of the ai’s way either waiting on the blue line or clogging the middle. This seems to make ai responsive and over compensate more times than not. And that’s not a good thing for the game.
