Easy exploit perhaps?

Was playing the demo on PS3 and noticed something that worked for me almost every time for a break away. Got the puck in my end, lobbed it deep with R1 and right stick up and used the new speedy skating to simply out race the Defence. They never could catch up regardless of the forward I had streaking. Seemed a bit too much of an exploit of the AI.

What difficulty? On Pro, not really a major concern, on Allstar or Superstar, could be a real problem.

I have a feeling that they are going to crank up the AI in the final version. They usually seem to water down the difficulties in the demo and seem to have even more this year. All star seems super easy. I'm betting things will be a lot tougher in the final version.

cpu difficulty slider is at minimum in the demo too...

Makes some sense to have lower AI in the demo for the general public. Your only playing 1 period at a time, and most people want to see the exciting stuff. If the average can't get a simple scoring chance in a demo, well he's probably not going to buy the game.

Here's hoping for a tougher AI for the higher difficulties.
