Be a Pro - AI defensemen

Please fix the behavior of the defensemen when forwards try to help win a puck battle. If I'm playing as a forward and I go into the corner in my zone to help with a puck battle, one of my defenders ...

Hey there. The AI will move around to cover the open ice. So, if a player is out of position, an AI is going to move in to take their place.

Are you also adjusting your strategies throughout the game?

Thanks EA_Aljo, not sure what you mean by adjusting strategies in BaP mode. You mean the forecheck/breakout buttons? I don't mess with those too much.

I understand the AI will try to move to other positions when you're out of position, it just doesn't make sense in this case. It would be super weird in a real game if a forward came back to help to prevent a goal in a close game and the defender just bailed on the play and skated up ice. Know what I mean?

  Sorry about that. I don't think you can adjust strategies on BaP.
  
  Yes. I get that. The AI isn't going to be perfect, but they will play better when everyone stays in position. Of course, there are times playing out of position is going to happen. The AI are going to adjust though and try to cover what they are perceiving to be threats.
