AI Defending in 1v1 Gameplay (Online)
It feels like online 1v1 gameplay is against the AI not the player. They removed AI defending in NHL 19, but brought it back in NHL 25, and I think that was a horrible decision cuz when I play online...

I have to disagree. I feel the AI doesn’t do much when it comes to defending. When my opponent is in my zone all they do is skate up to him and stand there doing nothing. I would love it if they actually threw a hit, lifted a stick, or poke checked. Instead, they sit idle and watch as my opponent easily skates around them, leaving myself as the only competent defender. The only thing they actually do is screen my goaltender, which is aggravating to say the least. As far as I’m concerned, they might as well not even be on the ice.
I get you but if there would be some legit defensive tools, you wouldnt have to rely on your AI tho and I think it should be that way in competitive gameplay.
