    Why can’t the Madden developers fix this list of issues that are in every game?

    3rd and 17 or so and you can count on the CPU to…

    A. Run the ball and pick up 4 yards or
    B. Throw a screen to the RB for a gain of 1 yard.

    The worst is a wide open screen with no defender around, and the receiver runs straight out of bounds in the first quarter

    Has anyone who uses CPU vs CPU found a fix for this?

      I still have a PS4 but hope to get a Series X soon once I can find one. Does the CPU make good decisions as far as knowing where the first down marker is and doing what it takes to pick it up on the next generation consoles?

      I just bought Madden 22 the other day after waiting on all the patches to come out throughout the year. I’m still seeing this just as I did in Madden 18, 19, 20, and 21.

      I really wish the programmers would have an NFL head coach or coordinator sit in with them and help them with scenarios on what to do and what not to do during games. This is the equivalent of intentionally walking a batter with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th inning in baseball. lol

        I don't see this issue a lot on the series X, most of what I see as problems go is playing zone and someone on my defense leaves the sidelines wide open 20 yards downfield and a wide open wr is just standing there for a easy catch

            Can’t even be that. I used Schnaidt’s Pro sliders and the CPU QB tries to bomb on me if it’s a 3rd and long.

              This is CPU vs CPU

              Pro, all pro, and all Madden. Changed the sliders and even traits of qb’s. No change.

                I don't really see this with any frequency. Once I had the CPU run a HB draw on 3rd and 15 and gained 14 yards, though, and I couldn't help but smile because the play call caught me completely off-guard.

                I don't see the CPU call it much, but honestly a screen play on 3rd and long isn't the worst play-call in the world. A lot of defenses send extra pressure on 3rd and long and that's a great counter to that.

                  Others are addressing the issue you're referring to, so i'll take a stab at the title...

                  I don't develop videogames, but I think from looking at the broad game landscape it's pretty clear that game dev isn't always that straightforward. Every time there's a patch to fix one thing, other stuff gets broken. Now it's easy to say that's because the madden devs suck or whatever, but it's what we can see across all games. COD Vanguard is in worse shape now than it was at launch 4 months ago because they keep breaking stuff with their patches and it's like a dog chasing its tail.

                  The legacy stuff is annoying. I think Rex did a great job hunting down a lot of legacy issues while he was around. But in general I don't see us every having a perfect game with no issues - whether that's madden or some other large game.



                  Just my take. Hope you get that bug figured out though.

                    Plus real life teams do this quite often. 3rd and 15 and you don’t have Mahomes, run a draw/screen and punt.

                      I think it was Rex who once said he tried to convince EA to take a year and do massive bug fixes and hit gameplay hard cleaning it up and not add a lot of new features. He was shot down because bug fixes don't sell units.

                        Yeah I remember he had a goal to totally revamp special teams too and was never given the chance to do it. He did a lot for the series. It's a shame he moved on.

                          I actually completely randomly ran into Rex out here while I was on a walk by myself early on during the initial COVID lockdowns in March 2020.

                          Despite the uncertainty of the then-new pandemic, he appeared less stressed than I can recall him being when I first met him in Orlando many years ago. He was especially excited about the new gig he had which at the time just recently brought him out to the west coast.

                          I got the impression he's doing well, which is good.

                            Obviously context is a huge factor here so OP isn’t really saying much. 3rd and 17 is ridiculous there’s nothing strategically wrong with those playcalls.

                            Have a nice day.
                            Just one man’s opinion.
                            I don’t actually care about any of this.

                              on 3rd and 17 early in the game you'll see a lot of teams in real life run a safe play like those to gain a couple of yards and not risk a turnover and just punt it away. the WR out of bounds is just bad coding.
