Thank you for your detailed answere! I only play (since NHL 94) Franchise or Season modus against the CPU and the AI is getting worse year by year! Absolute no sim character , no time and space for creating nice and real hockey plays! Once have the puck you will hit by the superhuman oppenent (at Superstar level) and they score so easily goal after goal while i have to work like a pig for every kind of success 😒thats frustrating at all and i play different kind of hockey games for decades!!! The producers only care for online users, offline is no money machine, maybe im too old for this **bleep** 🤦
