NHL 12 Video - Offside AI

[Fiddy]

so, how does this work when the cpu player skates to the blueline, then stops, starts, then stops, circles around, and then dumps it in??

I just don't want to see those flip dumps that you don't see that often in a real game..

what does that backchecking consist of though? skating side by side with ya and then automatically stopping ya in your tracks without a check or a poke?

i really wish they would add a modifier to the stick lift button, so you can slap at the players stick or shins like you would see in a game.

another year of fluff added so to speak, when will we get full control on defense?

great to see this.... but there'll be still be offside call right??? because this addition is great provided that there'll be a possibility of having the offside being called in the game. (offline that is)

Yeah we gotta realize by now it's an offensive oriented game and they either can't or won't add more defensive controls. So once again this year crank that defensive awareness to 99 and pray.

Very cool. I just hope the CPU goes offsides sometimes for realism's sake. As well as your CPU teammates going offsides.
