Sbisa, Bryzgalov, is that you?

Gone are the days of just having to worry about your own ineptitude in losing games. Now, with seconds left in the game, you too can have your very own AI float a no man's pass into the slot where an opposing player waits while the goalie goes down to make a save.. outside of the crease. This is NHL.

Also....If green would of stayed in his lane... up the boards...he probably would of got the pass ...but he skated right into to middle of the ice.
I just thought he was trying to pass to the other D just standing there.
I hear that...and I don’t think they do. That’s some high level hockey IQ as even most human players wouldn’t do it.
Everyone just tries to make a pass no matter what. They do a nice job of dumping into the zone at the blue line...but ya ...I don’t think they are programmed just to take a icing if in trouble.
Yeah. I'll put that in my mental wishlist. It's certainly good to have a back and forth on here without someone saying this is completely my fault, or a snarky remark because of the negative connotations. Completely agree with you here, Cat.
Cool man! It is nice to have a civil conversation while discussing this game, and even at times to have different opinions.
All good!
The goalie kind of overplayed the puck in the corner, but in all honesty Red should have picked up that open man in the slot, and maybe that's what the goalie was considering as he overplayed the puck a bit.
And as you guys said, pretty sure the AI is not programmed to just dump a puck and get icing if the situation calls for it. They are programmed to pass or shoot, and if they do dump, it will usually be after crossing the red line, unless on the pk of course.
AI does make mistakes too, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Mimics humans to an extent and they do panic a bit when you pressure them really hard. They are beasts on forechecking though.
The ai tends to default pass to the nearest open player when someone calls for a pass & no lanes are open to them.
Nope. I can post the original video if you'd like when I get home. No one called for a pass. We don't usually call for passes that close to the AI. Either the AI will ignore it or it gets intercepted.
I am quite torn on intercepted passes on the game. On one end, I don't like the fact that hard passes can be intercepted to the stick and controlled. Soft passes, sure, but hard passes should usually go off sticks if there's one in the way. Once in a blue moon clean intercepts should happen. On the other end, I too like that OP AI passes, especially to break players heading up ice, have been curtailed.
