CPU Defense keeps coming to human D's side / playing right next to him

This has been a problem for years. Unless there is an overhaul to cpu logic, you're stuck with heading over to the boards to get them back in to position

Unfortunately, you can only change strategies in game. I'd love for the ability to save them so they don't need to be changed every time. Hopefully, that happens. You mention not being able to change the D strategies during stoppages. What is happening when you try to do this? I haven't had a problem with it so far.

I'll have to go back and test it because it's hard to memorize, but going from memory:

pressing X during a cutscene / replay does nothing

pressing X during certain stoppage time brings up the dialog, but the buttons to cycle through strategies do nothing (and the screen / popup doesn't show them as being active - it seems they're disabled on purpose)

pressing X during gameplay does nothing (like while the puck is out there and actively in play)

I'll have to go back and test, as I said, to find the specific time(s) it does work -- I think maybe only pre-faceoff, going from memory? 

either way, regardless of those strategies, the CPU D is still doing what it shows in the videos and playing my side at least a few times a game ☹️

I play mostly LD, and this is so annoying. If the RD AI ain’t stuck behind the goal, or first on the offence, he’s favourite thing to do is to push me to the boards. This is getting worse every year. When are we going to get this fixed? If I could choose playing with between AI D or a static traffic cone, I would choose the latter.

Thanks for the feedback on this. I'll pass it on for you. I finally had this happen last night. I'll have to keep an eye out for it more.
