Re: DB AI issues
This has been an issue for 5 straight years now. I expected incoming Madden guys to see this as a huge issue, but the vets? Yeah it sucks, but as long as its less and less each year, Its OK IMO.
This issue killed 2K3 for me and drove me back to Madden. Th DB's in 2K3 did the wrong animation about 40% of the time. In 2K4 it was drastically reduced...maybe around 20-25%, and this year its down again to perhaps 15%.
The MAIN problem is that this game looks so damned good, we're all re-playing every other play from 100 different angles.
In normal gamespeed a DB may appear to just miss the tip away, the WR makes the play and it looks like normal NFL business as usual...but after we super slo-mo the replay for ten minutes, we notice that he spun around the wrong way when he landed, or made an inappropriate lunge at the ball. Its like if you slow-mo a catch on any game ever created...The ball never goes into the hands naturally, it always hits the forearms/wrists and morphs into the hands. Big whoop, its a game, right?
If we can all consistently put up 300+ yards through the air on the hardest difficulty level with even the scrubby teams...then there's a REAL problem(with THIS franchise anyway
). Other than tht its all visual semantics.
