NHL 14 - AI...what's the deal?

Year after year we seem to suffer with the horrid AI. This year it seems to be beefed up a little, especially with the computers opening up to receive passes and stuff, however I really like the Be a Pro Goalie mode. This is where the AI is ridiculous. Watching them play together is a disaster. I don't know how many times I've seen my own teammate go up the left side of the ice, guard the puck and then either get laid out or just throw the puck away. Happens at least 10 games a game. Also when the goalie gets run over, where is the penalty? Love to see what the answers are to this. So dear EA, please get your head in the game. I mean does anyone even test this game before it's releases. I saw flaws almost instantaneously. It doesn't matter what the difficulty is set on, the AI always does something retarted.

    when I'm playing reg online against whom ever I find even when I'm winning 5 to 0 I'm still extremely dissapointed with defense ai. when my forwards are by the net and the puck is loose they skate away feom the puck. .its almost like they made 5 year old hockey14 because you don't see this kinda crap in adult hockey.alsoooo I can't stand when I have a player close to the puck when I'm on yhe defensive and instead of switching to the closest player to the puck it switches to the furthest or str8 to a dman...drives me crazy..EA please fix this its absolutely stupid
  • Exactly, couldn't agree more. Also goaltending interference is rarely called. I just got ran over and knock out of the net. Other team shot from the point and scored the empty net. No penalty at all. That is just pathetic. EA is really sucking hard!

  • Does anyone know what the Build Your AI does? I can't really find anything on it and if at all effects how ai teammates play online. One would think that the AI of captain would be for the team.
