Better Bots for Defense
Note: This is more of a suggestion to focus on for NHL 15
You guys updated the goalie to be aware of the oncoming team and the positioning of his defense in order to make a save, but when I am playing solely as goalie, my defensive players aren't aware of the current situation. They rarely ever help me out in net and often leave me open to an easy goal for the other team.
I would like to able to have defense (if I am choosing for defense to play more conservatively) to see a 2 on 1 and stick to the passing lane and if a pass is sent, actually intercept it. There has been multiple scenarios where a pass would slip the at least one defender hit its target and allow the other team an easy goal. If I was playing an aggressive defense, I would like to see my bot play into the player, get into his space, force him to the outside or make a shot he didn't want to take.
I prefer to play only as goalie on EAHL, but its really hard to play with out proper defense on your side. When it comes to EA sports games, NHL is done better than all other sports, but it is not flawless.
Thank you for taking the time for reading,
