In this game, the cpu can magically takr the puck from you like a magnet
You cannot do this.
Thanks EA.
Great job
They say "this isn't a glitch and is working as intended"
- RelentlessJ694 years agoRising HotshotThe AI can do a lot of things that we can't. When the puck gets iced, the AI magically knows the exact route to take to beat you to the puck, even if you're ahead of them. The AI is 9 times out of 10 faster than your player, I have 92 speed on my guy and it seems like the AI defensemen still outskate me. Also if you breathe on the AI, they call a penalty.
- tunes294 years agoRising Traveler@RelentlessJ69 Yeah it's pretty brutal when you're skating forwards and the CPU is skating backwards and they still manage to catch up or cut you off at the boards

Poke checks, stick lifts and hits/bumps are the best ways to cause a turnover. It just depends on the situation.
As far as the other assumptions go, the AI players have the same abilities as human controlled players. If you're seeing slower players outskate faster ones, get us some video so we can review it for any issues. There are several different variables that can cause players to play slower. Fatigue is a big one, but you also lose speed when turning. The puck carrier has a small reduction in speed when carrying the puck, but that is negated if you're hustling.

That is frustrating, but when I beat the CPU to the puck on the icing I still get called for icing if the puck is on the other side. This needs to be fixed.

I know the CPU easily steals the puck from me, but is there a way for me to do the same?

Icing is based on who can touch the puck first. So, if the defending player is closer to the puck, even when it wraps around the boards, icing can be called. If you have any video of questionable icing calls, please post it.
What I previously mentioned will help you steal the puck. Without seeing your attempts at causing turnovers, it's hard to determine why you're struggling here.

The icing problem has occurred for many years. Say for example the puck is iced down the left side of the rink, and my player comes down the right side of the ice, and easily beats the CPU player coming down the left side of the ice, I'm still called for icing . This needs to be fixed.

On stealing the puck, I usually hear a click by the CPU when it steals the puck with no effort from me. What I'm asking is there lever or button I can click to do the same? Please advise.

I'm aware of that issue with icing. It's not always perfect with pucks around the boards. I'll pass on the feedback. As far as the puck stealing goes, without video, I have to assume what's happening is incidental contact. The best thing to do in that case keep the puck out of reach by stick handling, deking or passing. Try not to let opposing players get too close to you.
