Remember when both Young and the AI is firmly fighting for a stronger toehold on Rush's mind when the AI said that he couldn't sense his mind. Any ideas about where Rush's mind went during that time?
Spoiler:
but what I'm thinking is that Rush retreated in to a memory perhaps something like a distant memory of childhood football games. Our memories are stored in different locations and are like layers that are added to as we go along. (I could be wrong, but that's what I think I read somewhere)
Nick has the ability to focus his mind and channel his thoughts in a very disciplined manor. This is how he evaded the Blueberry aliens and also was his emotional survival strategy with his wife's illness and death, where he was able to lose himself in work. Recalling a simple event like play would really be a departure from the discipline of science and math that the AI would probably be unable to decipher. If Young were not channeling all his effort into fighting the AI, he probably could find him in those distant memories. It might take Everett a while to look for him there, but assuming he is learning that Nick is a regular guy under his analytical coat of armor, he would no doubt find him.
