It's that time of year again. Time to remind you that Moments is unplayable

Hello EA

Your words, not mine.  "We want all game modes to be the same across the board, whether your playing squad battles, rivals, champs, etc."

Remember that?  

Once again I'm finding the need to message you and tell you that Moments are just absolutely awful.  This mode is in no way, shape or form, a resemblence of any real experience during your games.  That said tho, even Rivals/Champs are becoming increasingly more unplayable due to the ridiculous amount of programming that is felt during every single play during the game. 

The game is at it's absolute worst when you can "feel" the programming.  Sadly, that's almost the entire game now.  How are we supposed to feel?  Honestly, it feels like a sick joke at this point.  

Is player experience, at all, on the list of things that are important to the corp?  Please let the gang know that their customers are not enjoying the product they're putting out there for us to "enjoy".  Ha!  Enjoy.  Good one.  I'm funnier than I thought.  

None of us really expect a free handout, but we don't like to be treated like animals.  What they're doing now, with this nonsensical programming is just ruining it for almost everyone.  Can i put it more clear than that?  

Please be better.

    I’ll get you evidence showing otherwise about the mirroring of your controller. Regardless I trust what you say about it.

      Sounds good. You can publish it through your console or put it up on YouTube and post a link in a response.

    not sure i can really.  It's just when you play moments, or most offline modes, but moments in particular, you experience the game like you never do otherwise.  Most of my effort is put in to online play.  For me, that's always been the place to compete with fellow NHL'ers.  I've played 1000's of games over the last 5-6 years.  Literally, i can count on 1 hand how many times an oppoent ties me up against the boards.  Yet, in offline HUT play the cpu does it at nauseum.  Body checks by the cpu are unlike anything we can reproduce ourselves.  The computer AI is programmed in such a way to just mirror your movements, very unrealistic as it's bascially matching your controller movement, atleast vs a human you have a bit of a chance of escaping a forecheck.  It's just very "not like we play the game".  There are words on the screen that suggest a certain difficulty. I.e., Rookie, Semi-Pro, Pro, and so on.  These are simply words.  They do not really reflect the actual gameplay.  I've mentioned, since inception, that Moments is obnoxioulsy difficult for what it is.  And i'm not suggesting that i'm struggling with it, yes some are very difficutly, and some are really easy.  Its just a matter of enjoyment.  We play these modes, well a lot of us i'm sure, gripping our controller like it's going to fall out of our hands if we don't try harder.  I, literally, spent $300 on a controller and it feels like these offline modes are just taking the life out of my fancy controller, due to the effort required lol.  It feels like i'm wasting the life of my controller playing some of these modes.  Anyways, i know you play HUT, tho this year it sounds like more WOC for you.  Anyways, i'm rambling.  I'll see what i can do for video.

      Hi there. AI players are not programmed to mirror controller inputs. The Moments are very challenging and that is the intent. I have passed on the feedback previously that people feel the difficulty doesn't reflect how the AI players are performing. We'll have to see if any changes are made.

      Go play the game. It's insane how hard it is. I agree with fumbler. Pro feels like all star, all star feels like superstar, your guys sliders are jacked. These aren't even fun, they are stressful, they are unbearable.
