You're playing a mode created for an all human team with multiple cpu players. How many people are you playing with? Are you trying to find other humans? If you only have 1 other guy and you don't want to add anyone else then yeah, probably not a good game/ mode.. by only playing with 1 other human You're effectively making the mode as miserable as it can be for yourself and opponent imo. If you have 3 you can play 3's or threes. When a group of 4-6 matches up with 5 teams of 2 in a row all we can do is roll our eyes. If all the teams of 2 would just group up the game would likely be a lot more enjoyable for everyone. I get not wanting to but at the end of the day it's an online game mode, that's what it's for.
The game has it's fair share of issues and I don't suggest people buy it unless they really like hockey but AI in WoC should be bad. No one should be depending on AI. I've seen the AI get multiple goals in the past and win people games, ive seen them shut teams down, we had more 2 man teams than ever back then.. bad cpu has pushed more teams to add players. I don't care to play a game while over half the non playable players could decide who wins. More cpu = less skill gap, less fun for you, less fun for opponent.
