player ratings

It’s funny watching Taylor Heise knock Victor Hedman down 

i hear ya  man i cant  understand what they are thinking it really a stupid set up guys with good team  putting all the time in getting smoked out by chicks and underated players  i tried every setup every slider  never fails if my team goes over 86 they dont play at all this is 3rd year in row this cornball crap happening 

First of all. The AI cannot recognise one player from the other. All it understands is the 1s and 0s that program the game. However with that said. The AI does get altered to enhance lesser rated players with each level you play at. Is it fair. Not really. The whole idea of a rated card, is for it to perform at its limited numbers. Secondly. As a player  you can only control one player at a time. So who controls the other 11. The AI. And the program that is set up for it as an opposing team, is not the same as it is for yours as a defending team. The only truly good concept they did this year, was to get rid of that 5 goal, 20 shot requirement for full benefit. Just as an example. Stop controlling your player, and watch the difference how the AI defends for you  as compared to you being in control. There you will see the difference.
