I agree, the AI was noticeably different than NHL10, kind of forgot about that... though they did fix (a bit) the massive jumps between difficulty settings. In 10 the only way to get it to a makes-sense level is to put it on a lower difficulty, then adjust all the sliders up. At the highest setting EVERY pass is tape to tape, the AI learning basically reads your mind no matter how often you "change styles" (ie: every time up the ice), and good luck ever getting the puck to begin with.
I felt they fixed that in 11... but agree with the "backing off"... seemed like they'd rather just block shots / pick up rebounds than come steal the puck.
