Since March 18th AI wingmen and dmen are on the opposite side during play.

@weizboy 

There have been no updates that would affect this. The most recent one updated jerseys. Regardless, I'll have to see your videos to better understand your issues with the game.

You misunderstood, first off, it’s been what 4 weeks at least you are aware that Ai has gone bezerk. Left wing is on my right wing. Center can be any wingman. My left d is my right d. They switched. This is very clear. I play daily and I played hundreds of games. I have 4 right handed forwards, most of the game they (right handed forwards) go on my right wing. They are all assigned to my left wing. It is very clear that it is a glitch, before the glitch their behaviour was minimal and would be in the wrong position at the right times caused by my usage of players,  but with the glitch, it’s most of the game. First time the glitch happened when I wrote was when I made only one change on my line. I removed Jean beliveau bronze. A week after I created a case here, there was an update I heard 1.60. This update has nothing to do with this issue I know because I wouldn’t have it happen again. But this issue was gone with that update because it must have refreshed the game. I don’t know if you are familiar with PC’s, but there are glitches that correct themselves like a reset. My problem was gone. For 2 weeks and I was going to write you here to say something, but I didn’t want to jinx it. Well Jean beliveau was part of my team plans and I bought him again as silver master icon, I placed him in my lineup and this again was the only change I have made to the team, and that AI issue came back. This makes me believe that this is beliveau card causing this. Look, this is what’s funny about ea, you guys won’t fix the game but add something about arts. This is why I said, people need to lose their jobs to make EA a better company. Especially for hockey, after one month no one can look into this? The videos I said I have made I all the glitches to show how incompetent EA really is when programming the game. I asked you here if I can put the videos, you said put the on YouTube and link them here. This is once again for all videos and all issues about this game. But the one issue I have with AI I am show you in one video which I can put here now. Come on Aljo, pay attention. Contact your crew. I’m game testing the game, it doesn’t take one month to make such a small adjustment when I find an issue. I will post that video here to show my players changed behaviour, but I did ask you a question you avoided, can I reinstall the last update? This would reset the game and fix the AI, beliveau has been removed from my team. You didn’t answer that. You cannot understand that wingmen assigned to the left is on the right? And vice versa? You need a video to understand aljo? You aren’t 5 years old. Come on.... wake up. 

How funny the video is unsupported. Coming from an iPad. In the year 2021 I cannot post a video of 1 minute and 55 seconds. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRED. And you are here all day.... boggles my mind. I would have made this work the second I create a website. EA, so incompetent, there are no words aljo. There are no words,,, it’s shameful. It’s 2021. iPad or iPhone is the most common way to move around video files. EA doesn’t support this, the entire site of EA can’t be programmed to accept a specific video format? There is a big bug right there. You tell me how shameful that is. You are shifty in your responses I have seen in many many posts, that’s why you have your job here. But you cannot shift from this. I’ll post this one video for you to please you on YouTube, how shameful of EA. The game is incomplete galore, and you are busy making jerseys. A celebration in the game is wrong, the card is humble stick raise, it is swapped with another. From the start of the game, let me tell you, that has never been fixed b EA, something so simple. Never been touched. This is called incompetence aljo. You are here delaying people’s issues, and EA is truly doing nothing and not listening to their users. And in order to be more efficient and communicate with you or EA and it doesn’t accept a format from the most common tool like iPhone or iPad. Shameful 

Here explain this to me and everyone playing the game, simple things like this is only possible at EA. Be constructive, fix it before it’s sold broken. After 200 days of playing the game you get this free gold master icon 96 overall. Look at the card and it’s stats. All the stats are bronze icon stats. LOL. Tell me how pathetic it is, want more? I don’t think you play nhl 21. You said some things that makes me question that. I said how can EA not include shutout stats for goalies in Hut. How brainless lazy and stupid of EA. Who should be fired? Explain this gold master icon to the person that played the game for 200 days straight and gets bronze players stats. You want error? There is one. Fix it. It shouldn’t even be broken in the first place. It’s an embarrassment aljo, it’s amateurish, you don’t get that? Wait stay right there. There you go, from day one this celebration has been there and unfixed. Causing people like me and others to buy this celebration and giving me different results. Is this fair? How incompetent of EA to not fix such a simple thing for 200 days. EA is busy tinkering with jerseys. What a joke. Fix the damn thing. You sold us something broken and incomplete everywhere. You think I would be here telling you this if the game was flawless? I’m not the only one reaching out to you. Who is listening? You? You aren’t doing anything. That’s the truth. You’re delaying people’s issues and telling them to do more work, no, you work, the people at EA should work. We want to play, you get it? 

Here is the link so you can understand players in the lineup being on the wrong side most of the game. As if you will do something about it aljo, that’s it, I don’t believe you or anyone from EA to do anything when you’re presented with such simple things and nothing gets done. It’s a joke for you and the others at EA.

There have been no changes to AI behavior in a long time. Players will switch sides according to which strategies you have set as well as how the play dictates. A RW that is currently on the left side isn't going to abandon their position just to get back to the right side. They will make that change when the time is right, but they aren't going to leave open players and ice just to do so. They are reacting to the strategy you have set, positioning of opposing players and where the puck currently is. If you're seeing your players on the faceoff being in wrong positions, that would be a bug. Unless one of the players from that line is serving a penalty. Then, you could see them in different positions.

And this is why nothing gets done at EA. You just indirectly called me stupid. I played everyday for 4 months, played over 1000 games. The slightest behaviour I can tell, I’m getting very frustrated because this is only the beginning. But you are part of the issue at EA and why nothing gets done and why people turn their backs on EA. Or why they just hate or boo EA. So let me repeat it again because you just don’t get it, I played over 1000 games at least. I know the slightest behaviour of my linemen. I put the video on YouTube for you to watch, you can see with your own eyes, this was off the a line change. The RW WENT TO THE LEFT AND THE LW WENT TO THE RIGHT. Are you going to argue with me or is it believable that it’s something wrong? I wouldn’t go this far contacting you if It wasn’t affecting the game. You are a deflector aljo, you fix the problem because there is one and many many others, but this one is a problem. You saw the video on YouTube, my off the line change, wingers go on the opposite side, dmen go on the opposite side. I know the game by now and probably more than you. I’m game playing and testing, I’m taking notes and recording to show you and EA the flaws. I can’t even enjoy the game because it’s so flawed. So I am documenting it and this means I’m testing it. You get this aljo? I told you my linemen were normal the way it was with update patch, then it went haywire again with the same and only player Jean beliveau, I know the difference between normal players swapping positions and players staying there, I made that clear for you to avoid saying what you said. Really aljo, you are a terrible listener. I asked several times if there is a way that I can reinstall the patch on my end. You don’t answer. You have no other advice but tell me I don’t experience what I’m experiencing. You’re the first person I would fire at EA. You insulted me like I am stupid. I’m playing everyday it’s on right now, all day it’s on. I showed a video, this is not good enough? You need more? Tell me you need more because you just don’t get it? I’m being clear. The linemen switch and they stay there. I make a line change without touching any forward and they go the opposite side. Without touching the dmen doing a line change and the dmen are opposite side. You’re funny, what do you think I’m noticing when I play a 23 minute game? My lines don’t change, I have the team I want for the entire year. I know what my direction I’m going, I know what line is on, I realized that the players have swapped positions without touching them and they are there most of the game. You speak English right? I’ll say again and again, most of the game the players are in the wrong positions, this is not normal and this is why I’m here writing to EA. So don’t tell me anything except finding the issue. Aljo you should have a better ear when you get facts like the two photos I sent you that has never been fixed or corrected by EA, you should have a better ear when I sent you link to the video of players in wrong positions and they stayed there. I made this very clear. So don’t tell me you listen, and I asked several times if there is a way for me to install the latest update myself again. This seemed to have refreshed or reset the game. Rebooting didn’t work. 

@weizboy 

I'm not trying to argue with you. Players will change sides during play according to strategies and what's happening on the ice. Also, if you skate out of position, a teammate is going to cover that position so they don't leave open ice or an opposing player uncovered. Then, another player needs to cover their position. They will all cycle around to cover as much ice as possible according to the strategies you have set. 

Nothing has changed in any updates recently that affect the AI players. I didn't tell you how to reinstall the update because it won't make a difference. However, if you want to do this, delete and reinstall the game. That will force the update to download again.
