yeah, that happens to me alot.. but what's even more frustrating, and happens to me alot.. is when my D passes to the other D, and it goes right to the stick of the CPU forward, shoots and scores.. The guy that intercepted the pass was nowhere near my D where i aimed it. How it went to him, I have no idea. I have lost many games in OT like this. Very Frustrating!

Thanks Money. The Shogunofharlem is the villain in my favorite kung fu movie. To you youngin's out there, go rent, or download, whatever the hell it is you do, and watch, Berry Gordy's "The Last Dragon". No need making a thread to thank me. You're welcome in advance.

Now, back on topic. I was actually about to post this and I have before about previous iterations of the EA NHL series. The AI, in my opinion, reads your controller inputs. Ever try to take a quick shot, from a crazy angle, and as you press up, the ai guy hits the deck and your shot is blocked? Happens to me all the time.

I always thought this, but now in 16 using the pass preview thing, if I already have the puck in the in the zone, and am going to use the pass button to send it behind the boards, as I charge it up and aim to go behind the net, the ai players will start to go JUST prior to you releasing the button.

They read your controller and inputs, so when you have a clean line d to d. They read that is where you are going and once you release, somehow they are there.

I found putting ai learning down, I don't interpret that slider as them learning my style but more reading / learning my inputs. However, what we want is the computer to change strategy if they can't do anyting. So I put that up a bit on the slider side.

I havent had to use the tricks you mentioned in a while but it works and hopefully I wont have to raise my hu Acc to make up for the speed advantage too as its pretty fair but sometimes my D slows down with poor response as the cpu goes turbo speed probably a tilted ice advantage as my passing also get really bad after a big cpu hit .

I didnt notice much of this in 15 but it looks like Intimidation is now a key factor again at least on default allstar with huge hits ruling the day .

OT: I haven't seen "The Last Dragon" all the way through, but the parts I have are freakin' hilarious.
Definitely a cult classic.

I kinda wanna get the game but am wondering... is there a side camera that makes it like watching games on TV, if so is the camera playable or just two lacking in showing the spacing well?

Thanks to anyone who answers.

Also, I am a newb to hockey video games... I have a PS4 is this the game to get?

I play offline sim style in sports games. I like dynasty or manager/owner modes. Not the Be A Pro modes, if that changes things. I do not play FUT either.

Anyone seen Iron Monkey, that is a great film! Is Last Dragon anything like that? I need go find it online....

For anyone that has played in the playoffs...does Doc have any OT goal calls where he goes nuts besides the game winning OT goal in game 7 from last year?

They said they updated commentary for the playoffs and Doc gets more excited during them I believe.

Are there any specific playoff goal calls tired to certain players? Thanks!

Is anyone else not happy with how 3-on-3 overtime plays out in this game? It seems like there is no real urgency by your offensive teammates to find open space in the zone for a good shot opportunity. I've run into many situations where I'll have a single forward playing near the front of the net, and the other two are just hanging back by the blue line.

Is that how it plays out in real life?
