Is it just me?

The Ai is horrible. EA marketed the last two years as a game with tremendously improved Ai. I’ve lost count the number of times each game I skate into the slot for a shot snd out of nowhere my teammate flies in front of me to block it. It’s ridiculous. And two months in and still broken poke check. Can’t say i’m surprised at this point. 20+ years playing this game and couldn’t care less if the franchise went wheels up. Money grab. Only game I play where i’m frustrated after an hour, every single time and shut it off

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?
