I've played only SB in single player, and it's fairly noticeable. I think it has more to do with the game difficulty than actual AI player qualities. AI is super aggressive on defence. Theyre super fast even backskating, and they hit hard and often. They almost always win board play even if you have 2 against 1 (and like previous years, they suck you in it, whether you want it or not). The AI team has 30 odd hits per game logged, their passing percentage is 90%+. They almost always intercept your passes when you try some on the offensive zone, if you try to deke they just maul you as soon as you try it, or the puck just leaps from your stick to them. Might not bother really. They read your new L2 movement pretty well, it's doesn't really work against them, because they're so fast and aggressive. I could go on, but you know how it goes.
Fun times, I only play one or two SB game for practice, that's it. Oh and your goalies cant' catch anything and the AI goalie is a god. And all AI teams have Tkachuk🙃
