CPU Strategies and Poor Logic

I’m going to throw this in here since I’m still playing ‘26. I’ve noticed a lot of good discussion regarding cpu teammates being too aggressive offensively on the pk while being too passive on the pp. Essentially, the strategy is reversed. Well, I’d like to add that this applies to the strategy late in games as well, even five on five. We’ll be up by a couple and my forward linemates are super aggressive. That’s not the bad part because I’ll play as F3 and make sure I stay back. What is frustrating is when we’re down by a goal or two and I’m the only guy  forechecking. I’ll separate the man from the puck but I don’t have a teammate anywhere around to pick it up and help. They invariably pull back to the blue line and watch. That’s honestly one of the most frustrating aspects and I have a feeling that ‘27 hasn’t addressed this. 
In addition, when the goalie is pulled, your defense will back in and back in and let the opponent get within ten feet of the net for an empty netter. Stuff like this is why I’m on blood pressure meds. Lol. Yes, I’m old.
