Sloppy Board Play

Why is the CPU so sloppy with its play along the boards, it will chase the puck in the D zone with no plan, it basically just skates up to any loose puck along the boards and slams into them regardless of how much time it has to make a clean scoop or decision to pass, it routinely makes the worst decision in the scenario. Why wait for a board battle to ensue when you can just go recover the puck and make a quick pass out? why slam into the boards at all? half the time they have enough time to take a more energy efficient approach and just scoop up the puck and keep skating. its stupid

  • I've brought this up internally for years and they've done nothing to address/fix it. Just as bad in EASHL - they looove circling back on purpose into the lower left corner (with top perspective), to make an extremely ill advised pass to the opposing team

  • idk why thats the only thing im complaining about, the CPU is just so atrociously bad at reading the play that it has Sydney Crosby looking like a lobotomized toddler who has never seen the sport before. learn how hockey is played or learn how to write some decent code, cause at least one of those is a severe issue for this dev team
