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

    Listen to what I said. I said when I have the puck going into the slot and shoot your teammates fly at you to get in the way. Your big marketing spew at the beginning of the  game was how smart the ai was and how they will get into open space. They are as dumb as ever

    I think most people are controlling their D in HUT. You also have players with inflated attributes.

    Not you.  The AI D gets blown bye all day unless you play D yourself and have to go over and play for the D.  Funny thing is.  When you play Hut.   The AI D doesn't get blown by.

    Should be pretty easy to get a clip of this then. Posting a video of this happening can be invaluable to the dev team to identify flawed logic or animation sequences they haven't been able to recreate in-studio. Often times, things happening in the wild are hard to reproduce so a simple video could go a long way.
