Anyone notice the CPU never makes line changes when you get called for icing?????

Makes no sense. You get called for icing and the CPU leaves their same tired line out instead of putting a fresh line in. It happens every time I get called for icing. I got called with 10 seconds to go in a tied game. Perfect time for them to try and win with a fresh line, instead its a tired 3rd line.

It's the only time the CPU team is stupid. I mean normally they never miss an interception on you that they have no way of knowing the puck is there, their players are always ready to pounce you as soon as you pickup a lose puck while your cpu teammates are always off in no mans land when they get the puck, they never get in each others way while your players always get in your way, they always pick up the puck and speed away while half the time you get the puck and just sit there or slowly start to advance up the ice or your players are right there to get the puck but the cpu thinks your player needs to get back into position before you can take control of him and just leave the puck there for the other team to get. They always skate to the correct place while the cpu just makes your player totally miss your target by making you turn at the last second while you never moved the stick that way.

There are people that only play offline one player games. It would be nice if it would work for us.

This is something the community has been asking for many, many years now. Please fix this devs. Kind of important.

Also how you always get the CPU's top line to start every period...

So I noticed this too, but then one game realized that the line listed as taking the faceoff on the screen wasn't the same line that was actually out taking the faceoff. I haven't taken the opportunity to test it more than a few times, but I'm pretty sure the line listed is bugged, not the actual changing of the lines. It even did it to me once when I tried to change after a CPU icing.

Also, the cpu-team using its time out has never happened.

Exactly. Just a presentation thing
