Pushing in front of the net

Somebody answer me this…When there’s a player standing in front of the net and I push up on the right stick to bump them, I get a penalty? But when I play forward and go to the front of the net the Ai will push and hit and move me without a penalty. Why am I not allowed to do the same on defense?

    Come on mate, we all know that ain't the case. 

    Would love to see an example of your teams AI acting the same as the cpu AI on Superstar.  I can guarantee you can't show us them hitting, poke checking or stick lifting to the same extent as the cpu AI.

    What penalty are you taking? If you're spamming push checks, you'll get a crosschecking penalty.

    Two different sets of algorithyms. The AI is coded to be competitive, while yours is coded to be more realistic. As an example of differences. How does an 84 rated AI team, play more agressively at superstar, than at rookie. Still the same 84 rated team. The AI is setup for alterations. Your team is only enhanced by the players rankings on your team. The AIs team is more precise, like in passing, hitting, poke checking. While your team depends on your skill set to offset. And because of these alterations. Coding for the AI team and yours, are different. It doesnt seem fair, but its all in the algorithyms, and code that has been pre-established. Why we see so many complaints in this forum, regarding indifferences.

    This is false. The AI behavior is the same for both teams.
