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.

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.
