You're so right, the AI is complete and utter shit. Just a few things I noticed, even though I don't play a lot: 1: If I could have computers who would break the puck out, go D to D, off the glass or make a good short 2 foot pass to the wings, who in turn could make a short 2 foot pass to the center, that'd be great. 2: If my defensemen would stop board playing themselves for no reason, then end up getting pinned and losing the puck, that'd be cool. 3: When they cycle the puck around in your zone, and you know the slot pass one timer is coming, but you can't do anything about it, and your d-man just does that back skating thing, and it goes through his feet. 4: When you're going out to the point to block a shot, and his stick goes through your legs as he shoots. 5: Better computer recognition for things like: You're down by a goal, pulled your goalie, and all your defenceman does is back in towards his net when an opponent comes in on him. 6: Also, hitting is way too unrealistic. If you're playing with a small guy like Gaudreau, anything knocks him down, even the slightest bump. And sometimes, you'll hit a guy, but you can't get the puck, and he ends up getting up, and still having possession of the puck, kinda annoying.
Also they don't track the opposing players who are streaking up the boards waiting for a pass. Instead they cover no one in the middle and leave the guy streaking up the boards wide open.
The AI is what gets me pissed off the most. They are bad as the inexperienced "Back to the Minor" players. They often turn the puck over in our own end zone, they mishandle a lot of passes, they don't pass to players who are in the clear, they get in my way, my teammates run into me and cause me to have offensive turnovers (causing my ratings to suffer), and the coaching is terrible as they blame me for other's infractions and would ask me to come to the bench at the worst situations possible.
+Yahiko25 It is almost the same AI from NHL 2008, I notice they have very similar AI teammate gameplay except that 2015 is less prone to mishandle passes when it comes near them.
+toboebluefighter I even have teammates skate or pass to our own net and then they score for the other team... and my defense ratings suffer in result.
This video popped up in my suggested feed and I think it was fate. NHL 15/16, at least in my opinion, were the starting points for John’s distaste for the EA NHL franchise and uploading to RUclips in general. I know John doesn’t owe it to us to upload and that other factors have led him into retirement, but it’s just a shame that the continued crap pushed out by EA drove away one of the most electric and whimsical RUclipsrs away. Just a shame. I love you and your videos John. They bring me back to childhood when I would lay on my mattress on the ground and binge watch you for hours. I hope you’re doing well and I hope you upload again in the future. If not, happy retirement. You are the GOAT. Much love.
Thanks for bringing attention to these glaring issues. One of my favorites is when the ai goes behind the net and then decides to drive the puck straight up the middle of the ice and 9/10 times straight into an opponent in the slot who just knocks him down and gets a scoring chance.
*goes on a binge gm mode* "alright, I'm at year 5 and its only 7pm and won 2 Stanley Cup an- *games freezes* "you have go be kidding me, why didn't EA -care to- add auto save!? *breaks game disc* "at least NHL -legacy- 17 will be better"
Because they don't play the game. And if they do play it then they literally just don't care. Regardless it's an issue and reason I'm not buying 17. They literally focused more on nbc broadcast than the AI. They haven't touched the strategies yet. Is anyone else aware the strategies don't work? I'll have collapsing on yet my players r at blue line . In offensive zone i'll have full pressure yet nobody applies pressure . Fuck ea. Don't buy 17
Johnny you should do a shootout commentary the flyers and their recent games lately. They have been doing extremely well, enough to get them 2 points away from the wild card spot.
"And look, my own asshole" I laughed so fucking hard !
+Jpbureau1996 Me too. :DDD
+Jpbureau1996 Me too!!
Same😂😂
I watched this in the morning right when I woke up and it instantly made my day better
+Dylan Rogers same
Is it just me or did the censorship make it 10x funnier
It almost always does. The Daily Show was less funny without the bleeps. It was still funny but not in the same way as it being censored.
True idk why he put the warning about explicit language if he was gonna bleep it but still f***ing ;) hilarious
+Austin Murphy maybe children are watching his videos and there parents don't like hearing / watching him raging and swearing

Love the video and 79.99 please part I almost died 😂😂😂
twitch chat blew up at "79.99 PLEASE!!" 😂😂
+brandon paul It was awesome. 😂
i saw the price 79,99 looks normal well xbox 360 i said fuck that
We got pj Subban and carey prices dance down! 79.99 please! 😂
+Flashotic pk*
"My own asshole" when referring to his CPU teammate 😂😂😂
I dream of one day, a new gaming company coming and making a solid nhl game
+Brawlingfrog1 R.I.P 2K Sports
Someone is so against EA that they don't remember that the last 2K sports game wasn't exactly great either. There's a reason they stopped making them.
+Brad Bahm ahahahah 2k made the shittiest nhl games ever I'm all for someone other then ea making an nhl game but 2k sports sucks bro
+Jacob Worboy i got 2k one year instead of EA and hated it even though ea gives us shit 2k's shit stunk just as much if not more
+Brawlingfrog1 Something like Rockstar games NHL game would be a dream come true. They would actually make a working game and finish it before release
"$79.99 Please!" needs to be a meme!
Decibel it does, I'd laugh if that was meme
"Typical American, no situational awareness!" Laughing so hard! And I'm from Texas just to clarify
The way Markov is playing now, I'd say Ea did a good job
+Feng Jiang It's his age catching up with him. Still a good Defensemen, but Therrien playing him too much..
+Feng Jiang currently dying hahahahahah
$79.99, please.
"Carey Price you break it out" Well they got the Habs right atleast
speaking of 79.99 stuff. Subban and Price's celebration were banned by coach Therrien on his first day of work. Come on, EA!
hahaha that was super long ago too. ea just sucks
Actually it was banned by the GM
Therrien wants his team to be humble.
"79.99 Please" will be the title of the next South Park video game satire

+Mr. BO55 You just described what happens in hockey 79.99 % of the time.
And when a defensive player gets the puck behind their goalie he just magically brings it out of the crease. They shouldn't allow you to do that.
#2 is the most relevant problem to me as well. I can't fucking take it. especially on the powerplay

This will always be my favorite 2bc video.
Looks like they were setting up for the Flying V at 1:33 haha
The American reference was funny ass hell.
One of the best rage of all time
You think this is bad... wait until you play NHL Legacy... 79.99 PLEASE!!!!
at least its better than this
+XxCurlyManxX its just a 79.99$ roster update
+XxCurlyManxX I would get Legacy over NHL 16. lol
Lol "A road paved twice. RE-TARD" I fucking lost it
It's like they copied FIFA AI straight to NHL, passing back to goalie and passing around in the own zone.
the way johnny puts the emphasis on the p in please is hilarious

When the CP/Pk celebration starts and Johnny goes silent, then "Oh oh ooooh!" Had me going XD.

he back yo
This is EASILY the most funniest video I've ever seen from Johnny.
"We got roster updates and player faces, 79.99$ please!" I DIED.
The end to that video was absolutely hilarious. Favorite one was "we got PK Subban's and Carey Price's celebration down though, 79.99 please"
One year later and it still hasn't changed
Just got home from work. this made my day!
2K Sports - Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now
2k10 > NHL 17
Thanks for bringing attention to these glaring issues. One of my favorites is when the ai goes behind the net and then decides to drive the puck straight up the middle of the ice and 9/10 times straight into an opponent in the slot who just knocks him down and gets a scoring chance.
Are you fucking kidding me EA Sports! hahahaha im dying right now omg
Nothing is more hilarious than Johnny's rage!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
79.99 please
TALK ABOUT JOHN SCOTT!
+ThatGuyYouKnow Nobody voted for him because he is a great hockey player dude. They voted for him to piss people like you off. And it's working :p
+ThatGuyYouKnow You should be pissed at the fans voting him in. Not getting mad at John Scott, he didn't do anything wrong
+ThatGuyYouKnow 5 goals actually
+Mexicangeno YT ROFL!
+ThatGuyYouKnow triggered
This is his best vid hands down lol
By the far the best Twitch stream that Johnny has put out.
when you said retared i died and fell of my bed
I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH BACON I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD IM IN TEARS
For e this is one of his best videos this made me laugh sooo hard
The behind the net AI pass is the bane of my existence when playing online. Unreal how often it happens in every game mode
anyone else rewatching this in 2017?
Man this is funny! I've watched it so many times! It kills me every time!
I have never laughed so hard in my life...and the sad sad part is that I sound the e.x.a.c.t same way when playing!
Hahahahaha, this video was so funny!!!!! I was laughing so hard. 😂
You are the ELPRESADOR of NHL 16 lmao
You know it's gonna be a great video when there is a viewer discretion advised warning.
Oh god I need more videos like this.
I feel you.
Can we please have more videos like this I literally laughed so hard I think I pissed myself
That part were he goes oh oh oh Dieing
i almost died of laughter during the livestreams lol
best gaming video i've ever seen. 2k all day
dont forget about the constent freezing in the game in all modes beside hut and how slow the menus are
+David Callen (Davo) so i'm not the only one who constantly has to restart the game?
+Bob Butts i feel your pain its funny cause its happens to me in every mode but hut
+Bob Butts i feel your pain its funny cause its happens to me in every mode but hut

Watching this live on twitch was hilarious 😂😂
"No! I don't want it! Pass it back to the goalie..."
Everyone at EANHL must be blind because HOW CAN THEY NOT SEE HOW FUCKIN AWFUL OF A JOB THEY DID WITH THIS YEARS AI?!?
they are fully aware of how shit the A.I is, they just don't care
All they care about is their baby Madden.
+BananaGangsta Shut the fuck up. And he's indian by the way. Watch your racism
+Michael Cretaro really Madden is their baby because i thought it was FIFA but yeah they definitely care about more than NHL
Because they don't play the game. And if they do play it then they literally just don't care. Regardless it's an issue and reason I'm not buying 17. They literally focused more on nbc broadcast than the AI. They haven't touched the strategies yet. Is anyone else aware the strategies don't work? I'll have collapsing on yet my players r at blue line . In offensive zone i'll have full pressure yet nobody applies pressure . Fuck ea. Don't buy 17
Yesssss thank you for saying what we've all been thinking!!
Finally...the fuckery is captured on film. I feel your pain Johnny.
I watched it twice honestly 😂
LMAO hahahah I was dying in the stream when I heard all this. I'm pretty sure everyone else was as well
Johnny you should do a shootout commentary the flyers and their recent games lately. They have been doing extremely well, enough to get them 2 points away from the wild card spot.
So glad I didn't waste money on this version! Bought 17, 18 and 19...
17 was my last one.
I feel I've said similar things watching the Preds last night. I think Peter Laviolette is secretly an EA programmer.
You are the best youtuber out there :)
Hilarious video John, keep it up!
fucking priceless!!!! lmfao i cant stop laughing my stomach hurts soo bad!! lmao
JESUS CHRIST THID WAS SOOOOOO INTENSE
LOL BRO ! That was absolutely hilarious !!!
My sentiments exactly. Even NHL Championship 2000 had considerably superior AI.
I love these. :D
Best part when Carey price and p.k subban do there celly
He's so right to and the sad part is EA will see this and still not do anything about it
Shit got pretty heavy in that stream. It was hilarious watching Zod struggle so much. Johnny was flaming at some points
Anybody here in 2024 where EA still cnat program AI
I watched it twice honestly
EA BETTER BE WATCHING THIS
I was hoping I wasn't the only one having trouble with break out ai. Most of the time for me they will just hug the glass and turn it over
79.99 pls I have never laughed that hard
" my own @$$ hole "XD
This is what happens when you have an east Indian as a head developer for a hockey game...
Thank you for being honest about the game
Omg I died! This is hilarious!
please bring back civilization
Yes please. And Halo. I really want to see Halo finished. Also great vid Johnny
Yes please. And Halo. I really want to see Halo finished. Also great vid Johnny
Yes please. And Halo. I really want to see Halo finished. Also great vid Johnny
YES! And Halo! Please finish Halo I love that series. Also great vid Johnny
YES! And Halo! Please finish Halo I love that series. Also great vid Johnny
This is like nhl 15 with new texture update!
that intro, that viewer discretion = back to the minors eashl. bring it back Johnny
The end was funny asf
I just wish it was also with a face cam that would make it even better just seeing him flail his arms in anger and throw shit
I wish that this video never ended $79.99
This video was hilarious
We got slapshot the asshole mascot. Love it
that was the greatest thing ever
the only person that will dislike this video is ea sports nhl. the last statement in the video makes total sense to them
@2:25 ; how difficult is it to display the trapezoid lines correctly during instant replay? EA's answer: 'Way too difficult for us.'
Probably my favorite "series" other than gta
Best video ever?
Canadians breakout is like the one in real life😖 I'm a habs fan
I'm dying here!
I respect this
ea once told me we have to work til 10 o clock and like if they were forced they dont give a shit give that contract to 2k
That's how Habs play actually.
