AI Line Management

son of clubs · 04-11-2014, 03:09 PM

This is my AHL team. The AI has it setup so that Anthony Mantha is on every line and all 3 spots on the powerplay. He played 59 minutes the first game. Is there anyway to control your AHL team or fix this?

ive had similar, but on my nhl team. the ai roster management, in general, needs some work i think.

You mean, he shouldn't be on all three positions at the same time??

I have this same problem with my Flames game.

Wow, I've never seen this happen. Dude's an iron man! Of course he's going to have a heart attack at 28, but it will have been a great run....

and I really like how he is playing every position at once on the PP. He's so good he can violate the laws of physics!

But seriously, you do have enough players dressed when you have the AI set this up, right? I'm not being sarcastic, I just can't figure out how this happened. I only play NHL teams so far, so perhaps some other rules for AI line creation exist in the lower leagues?

For my teams the AI usually does a nice job. Sometimes it makes questionable tactical decisions, but it is a computer after all. For instance, sometimes it will put my #1 lineman and put them on line 2, but then it usually gives that player #1 PP and/or PK duty, so the decision isn't entirely without rhyme or reason. In fact, it is rather a balanced setup even if it isn't always optimal.

For the time being I'd let the AI create the basic lines and then modify them where the AI has royally screwed up. I can't think of another thing to do.

I can't change the lines because I'm playing as the Wings and this is my AHL team. They have 23 players on their roster, but are only dressing 17. I could move Mantha to Detroit but I would play him on my 3rd line and would rather develop him in the AHL.
