These AI adjustments will learn your tendencies not just during one game, but over the course of multiple games. Think about how this would work during the playoffs – the deeper you go into the playoffs, the harder it will be to win, because the CPU will already know how you play before the puck is dropped. A good analogy is to think of the CPU as someone who is coaching against you. It really feels like you are playing another user all the time because they are constantly adjusting, just like I would do if my opponent kept doing the same play over and over again.

The ability for the CPU to shut down your money plays adds a tremendous amount of depth and longevity to our game because if forces you to change and create new strategies and to really concentrate on having a balanced attack. Not only will you see the AI adjust to your style of play during a course of a game but you will also hear Gary Throne and Bill Clement comment on what you and your opponent are doing throughout the game. To help you adjust your style of play to your opponent, there are Game scouting reports in between periods to let you know how you can shut them down. ‘On the Fly AI’ really gives truth to the statement “no game is ever the same.”
