HUT Moments

It would be nice if you guys could be honest about what level the AI is playing at during Hut Moments. 

Please don't tell me its to do with strategies or different teams ovr because we know that isn't true. I play Squad Battles on Superstar and know how the AI plays. 

Next Gen Smith - 26 hits from the AI in a 3 minute period. You don't even see those stats on Superstar. 

Both teams are pretty much level on stats. If I played a 3 minute period on pro against a team with similar stats as mine I'd easily score 5+ goals in that time and the AI checking stats would be in single figures. 

If you really want to tell porkies about the AI level try not make it so obvious, or at least have the user AI play on the same sliders. 

Thanks 👍

  • I think the best thing to say about Moments is that they are mislabeled and should be noted as Extreme Moments or something to that effect. 

    The AI is the Versus lineup most of the time and not HUT cards. This should be noted as well since you're playing a team with all their abilities active and don't appear to lose endurance. To add to the difficulty you're forced to use sub-80 HUT cards with a possible MSP tossed in that only have the Endurance for 1 rush up the ice. 

    The top HUT Creator has said that EA confirms that all AI Goalies in all offline modes are on All-Star regardless if playing on Rookie, Semi-Pro, Pro or even Superstar. This could be a big reason you hear many players say Superstar is a tad easier than even Pro. 

  • yeah, they're just words on the screen, they don't mean anything.  Moments have been programmed, terrbibly, since inception.  They want it to be challenging, which I can support.  But they create this horrible, sloppy, mess, of a mode that is just rage inducing.  They claim they want all modes to the be the same across the board, but it's not true.  I'm sure hockey moments are difficult to program, to have fun, but it's so clear fun isn't their goal when putting these modes out.  Shouldn't fun be the #1 priority of all these gaming companies?   It's almost diabolical at this point.  They clearly know that we like to try and get the lead, then the cpu pulls the goalie, and you're able to finish objectives in to an empty net.  Makes it helpful, a little less awful.  Nope!  EA doesn't like that and now start you down by 3 goals and you need 3 to complete it.  I swear this game is  80% programmed to stop what the community is doing and 20% by some out of touch managers who need to support other EA companies, like mo-cap stuff.  Anyways i'm really digressing lol.  BE BETTER EA please, we beg you
