Community ManagerIf I understand you right, you're saying the game is bad because you put a lot of shots on net, but have trouble scoring yet the AI manages to score in the last minute and takes you to overtime in every single game? That's a pretty specific complaint and one I don't see others making.
The AI will fight harder when down during the last few minutes of a game so it helps when you play stronger defense and keep the puck out of your zone. Most likely, they've also pulled their goalie. Of course, that gives them an extra player and makes defending a bit harder, but far from impossible and gives you an easier chance to score.
hahahaEA_Aljo exactly 👍
This is how I experience it and if you think differently, that's fine.
Do you like the game play in franchise mode?? is it the perfect game? do you have fun when you play it? I'm not having fun anymore.
Sim is broken, your team lost against the bottom team with 8-1 and beat the top team with 8-1….. after deadline (no changes to the team for the deadline is the most laggy garbage in the game) my team start losing 14 games in a raw for no reason so i got mad and turn off my xbox without saving, next time my team won 11 of those matches 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ seems to work well though.
Community ManagerI don't play Franchise Mode so can't relate to that. When I have played AI teams in the past, I experienced the AI ramping it up in the dying minutes of a game when they were behind, as you mentioned. Most games did not go to OT though since I adjusted my play to counter their aggressive offense.
Were those 14 losses all simmed games?
Yes it was simmed games and this have happend to me a few times, i only play between 2-5 games a season still can’t enjoy the game.
I have notis that you can change the game if you turn off without saving the game… sim will be diffrent every time and it can really make a big difference.
other thing i have noticed is if you make a bad team to get higher in the draft your team will win games after the deadline so you end up with about 30 wins… you get pick between 9-17 usually and always demoted one step… this is very common.
I usually start over in franchise mode 2030/2032 because after that many faces are starting to disappear and you just get confused when you can’t recognise any players. Almost all draft picks after first round with top 6 or elite have 70 in skating and never gonna be anything even if you train them on skates, Most defenders are top 6 in the game and want 6-8 million so the game is not so fun when you get a bit into it.
EA_Aljo The Ai shouldnt Play harder in the final minutes. Teams shouldnt get a Hungrier Ai when the Ai is awful all game. This makes literally no sense lol. The Ai is Terrible for 59 minutes but turns into the Teams best player in the last minute. Especially when the Ai Dmen are useless in this game. I have Zero issue when A human makes a good play to the Ai but the Ai shouldnt be making game changing plays.
Yo Aljo, can you get EA to fix their menus? I like to play Eashl 3v3 and I prefer playing with all human players and no cpus. I can’t tell you how many times it pairs me up with players and then when the game transitions to where we see our opponents 90% of the time it looks like one of of my teammates have left the lobby but in reality it’s still loading them in. I see that we have a cpu so I leave and as I’m leaving that teammate pops into the lobby. I can’t tell you how many times I see it take 5+ seconds for 1 of my teammates to appear in the match lobby.
Community ManagerYeah, I agree this is annoying. I know the team is aware of it so hopefully, it's addressed in the futre.
