    Shouldn’t have to mess around with sliders, the game should be playable at time of release.

    You would need an ai tendencies sliders for that, to really do that tho. You can change a lot of things that affects ai, but not much their thinking.
  • Well to be honest ...it’s AI...hockey is meant to be played by humans...AI...will never be perfect...you have half the people saying the AI is too good...and the other half saying they suck.

    The AI on your team is always complete garbage while the AI on the opposing team is always ridiculously good

    Hahaha that’s silly to think that way.
    The AI isn’t even that bad....you just have to slow down a bit and play hockey and not call for the puck all the time.
    But ya...to think somehow the game is programmed to always make your AI bad and your opponents great is simply tin foil hat non sense. Cmon man.

    AI is great! Why do you think people hate it when someone Goalie-locks?
    The problem is AI can also be caca. Have you never experienced that?

    Well, if you play single player modes at all, you should notice how completely asymmetrical the AI behaviour is. Your team's AI is somwhere between bad and horrible, and the CPU AI is mostly flawless. Sure, there are sliders to affect some things, but how about EA made the game good straight ouf the box?

    Having said that, I don't think it carries over to multiplayer modes, except the odd game where the team AI seems to be absent.

    I know how to play hockey and when to pick my chances and when to lay off. It’s things like when your computers don’t know how to cut off a dump in or position themselves correctly or block off the lanes.

    But the opposing AI can close in on you 6 strides from your own blue line when you get a break away. You ever been in a shoot out? Your goalie falls for the simplest shifts in movement and gets beat on a shot and you can completely undress a goalie and still get robbed

    There’s no way you can deny that in offline modes, your computer players play worse than the opponents

    Fair enough...I dont play offline modes so I can’t speak on that.
    With all the sliders though...shouldn’t you be able to get all the AI on a similar skill level?

    I believe in be a pro and in franchise you are able to, but in hockey ultimate team you are at the mercy of the AI. Anything past semi-pro has a feeling of elastic band. Elastic band is essentially and equilizer or a handicap to give the competition a boost. I was big in NBA 2k18 ultimate team but the game has gotten too out of hand with the way the equilizer is.

    While there is no concrete evidence of a handicap in nhl like there is in nba, when the computer AI starts playing like 5 Gretzky’s and your AI forget there’s a hockey game going on, it just reminds me of 2k18’s elastic band

    For Be A Pro, its crap that your ai team mates will always look to pass to you rather then to pass to an OPEN ai, they'll try to look for you 100% of the time. The second you start a line change, they play NORMAL again Lmao #GARBAGE
