There are lots of video on you tube showing this. I’m sure you’ve seem them. If you haven’t that’s half the problem with the current state of your fallen game

We're aware of the performance of AI players in WoC. However, when the humans are playing out of position, the AI will also. They move around to cover the open ice so they aren't in the right position to make a play. You can also change the strategies. While these won't all of a sudden make them amazing, it will help. The AI is the same on both sides of the ice. The team that knows how to manage them better is going to be at an advantage.

The AI D will never anticipate a risky play in the offensive zone and preemptively leave the Ozone. They ALWAYS wait until a turn over before exiting the Ozone. This is not how hockey works. Players come and go in the zone and perhaps the AI D should recognize the puck being in a dangerous area and play more cautiously by leaving the zone slightly. It would be much more realistic. Also I'm so confused why its acceptable for AIs to be fine in HUT but not WOC? If its just me and 1 or 2 friends, I do not want to search for drop in player because half of the time they purposely ruin the match to troll and you have no way to report or punish these players so they continue to do it. This actually hurts good faith drop in players who we would love to play with but sadly since you guys cannot implement punishments, they will get longer queue times and we will get awful lazily coded AI D that have somehow gotten worse every year in the last 10 years. Surely you can just up the attributes on speed or something?
