Why is the CPU so bad on EASHL

I've seen better defense from a blind kid at a make a wish basketball game. NHL 25 should be rated A for adult because of the gross acts the CPU was ding to my own team. They are a disgrace to modern game programmers and the devs should be absolutely embarrassed with this hack job they call a triple A game.

    Hello. Can you get me some vide of this? The AI players are reacting to how the humans are playing. So, if the human controlled players are frequently out of position, the AI will be as well. They'll be moving around to cover the open ice and not in the right position to properly defend. 

    They also are reacting to the strategies you set. Which, should be set to counter how your opponent is playing as well as complimenting your own style of play. 

    It would greatly help to see examples of the bad AI behavior you're talking about. I'm not saying they're always going to be perfect. They're AI. They'll make mistakes. So do humans though. Regardless, they shouldn't be as bad as you're claiming. If they are, we need to see it.

    I will send you plenty tonight. 

    If you're missing a human dman. You almost always have to sacrifice a human winger to play d. Every single time on a one on one or two on one with the computer. The computer refuses to hustle on the backcheck. You can just blow passed the computer easily. The computer will very rarely check the human playing going one on one either. It's always a guaranteed breakaway or two on zero. 

    You can set the def strategies to aggressive or defensive / passive and you get the same result every time. 90% of the time the computer is out of position and as stated before they refuse to hustle to get in on the play.

    I was hoping to see video from nskxxstealthxx​. I'm aware that an AI defender can be beat by a human forward. I've seen them step up for a hit plenty of times as well though. Regardless, you're more than welcome to show clips of whatever you're concerned with.
