The passing % when AI plays against AI is in the 90+ % on every game. Some might called it DDA but it's the strategy adjustment that is responsible for this. They will be allow to shoot from prime location without any challenges. At this point in time, your defense will skate backward and let the forwards with way too much space, They will allow them in the slot. The second a team gets a 2 goals lead, strategy adjustment occurs on both team, The team leading goes into a less aggressive and more neutral defensive and offensive strategy while the opposite team goes into a much more aggressive one. pattern emerges, I can tell where the winds is going to change as it is always trigger by the same events : 2 goals advantage. As a goalie, you spend a lot of time watching AI plays as the puck is not always in your zone. Everything is balanced right ? But there is one problem, strategy adjustment and AI behavior. They shoot faster than human and goal react faster than human. Therefore, AI goalies reacts faster and can handle subtle changes in puck position before firing the puck. It is my impression that AI players are tweaked to play against AI goalies and not human goalies. Not ideal when ever someone with a Rating 72 can snipe you top corner whenever they see an opening the size of the puck If you are not perfectly square, you are opening yourself to that weakness, if you are square, you are vulnerable to five hole. So what am I supposed to do there ? react using the right stick which would stop moving my goalie aggressively in a lower body position to the left or to the right. He just stand there as a zombie on the ice. I watch myself being in a very good position to make a stope and watch my goalie not react all to the puck. This year X-factor and the changes to goalie animation exploit goalie like never before. So cheating a little bit as always been the way to try to get saves you normally wouldn't get because of your ratings. So what is a human goalie supposed to do ? Well, normally you have to anticipate and not always be square to the puck at your five hole rating might allow a goal if you are exactly where you need to be. That's because until I get more training and more points, being in the right position does not guarantee you to make a stop. Every single year that I've played, I was in rated as A+ positing but C or D+ rating in saves. The issue comes from the fact that human goalie highly depends on their player stats to stop the puck. No GM in their right mind would allow such a goalie to remain in the league. 825 to 0.850 save percentage and a 4.00 GAA (believe me, this is good stats for playing offline) but this year, so far, I am almost at 7.00 GAA and a low. I should not be a goalie in the NHL with the rating that I have. The integration of X-Factor and the removal of playing the in the CHL, AHL before making it to the league put you against much higher rated player that a goalie of OVR 70 should ever face in their career. Unfortunately, this years iteration makes it an impossible task. One that brings rewards when you perform well in a game but often make you want to quit after a few games. It has always bas been an adventure of frustration. They have the uncanny abilities to exploit the angle faster than any human can react. Playing goalie offline against AI has always been difficult.
