Nice. I'd be interested to know which parameters of the AI you would consider tweaking for adjusting the level of difficulty. My experience is it's usually hard to make a challenging AI that doesn't seem inhuman.
You are right, I can make the CPU have insane reaction times and make the most complicated, unreasonable plays XD However, I am programming in realistic, human, reaction times and the ability to make errors. I will also have a few levels of difficulty so players can select one that fits their skill level. At this point, I am trying to make the AI only make plays that are within my personal abilities, since I have played the game quite a bit now I have developed some skill. This should serve as a baseline for normal difficulty, a bit tuned down AI will be easy and a bit tuned up will be hard.
Sounds nice. I was thinking about this and had an idea you might have considered already. It falls in the human error category. The off chance that the AI would make a (both intended and successful) pass to another character, but that the receiving character happens to be on the other team. I guess in real life that would be most likely to happen when this person is close to other team members and the tempo is high.
Passing is definitely high risk / reward. The AI will actively try to intercept passes, but a successful pass gains you a lot of ground and forces the goalie to re-position, so a fast pass / shoot combo is much more likely to score a goal. However, passing comes with the risk of losing control of the puck or just straight up giving it to the enemy. I don't think I will make the AI intentionally pass to the wrong person, but there is still a chance of a bad pass, e.g. passing to some one who isn't open, or is a high risk pass.
