Rubberband (ice-tilt) AI found in Fifa 17 files

NinthFall

Every year players complain about ice-tilt, rubberband AI, etc. Well, it cannot be coincidence we all say, since it happens to so many of us. We all know how EA uses this difficulty level on Need for Speed games (racers behind you get an extra speed boost to catch you and to make it a tight race). So would it be so much of a surprise, if EA used it on NHL and Fifa?

I'm no longer surprised if this would also be found from NHL files.

This was found in the files of Fifa 17 by its PC gamers;
