Kick Return, Punt return AI=BAD

[HurricaneDitka]

Sorry if this has been posted but Im playing on pro now (going to all pro soon )And when ever I am returning a ball from a kickoff or punt my teamates suck at blocking. For example. The Eagles punted the ball to me and three of my teammates were running back to block for me (so far so good). Two of the guys block the eagles, but one of my teammates is still running at me. So I get the ball and my teammate RUNS TO ME THAN CUTS BACK UP TO BLOCK! I have no time to wait for him to lead the way b/c the eagles would tackle me before I move, so I run aheand of him and get tackled. Everything in this game has been great except for this stupid AI. What I think is they still have the same pursuit angles as last year but with the new cuts they arent as fast turning around and going upfield. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and if so do you know how to fix this. Thanks.

Please next time you make a thread saying the AI in the game is bad at certain situations, include the fact that you are playing on Pro in you subject. Pro is nothing in comparison to All-Pro.

Thanks

well, for EA games its worse, imo, when i fumble every time i dont call a fair catch


at least with max tackle there is a possibility i get get a few yds...but you gotta take the good with the bad

Im playing on All Pro and yes the AI returning game sucks.
The blocking isnt good.

I don't care for the blocking on All-Pro either. I use the Chiefs and was looking to get a little Dante Hall action going. Nothing like a TD return, but maybe a nice run here and there. I think I once got to the 28 in about 10 kick returns.

My guys do not set me up at all. What happened to the wedge?

Re: Kick Return, Punt return AI=BAD

I switched most of the players on the special teams last year and it made a huge difference. For example: default punt coverage teams were allowing 15-20 yard punt returns, and after I subbed in speedy players who could tackle, punt returners seldom got more than 3 or 4 yards on a punt return. Just make copies of each team’s playbook, edit their special teams unit etc and save the book, and then use that book when you’re setting up a game. This all applies to blocking as well – get the best blockers in there on the return teams.

Re: Kick Return, Punt return AI=BAD

I concur. Frustrating as hell to see 3 guys dropping back in perfect position,and start licking your chops at the prospect of a good return. Only to watch your blockers not even turn around and pick someone up. This on all-pro. One of the very few things I have seen that frustrate me.

Re: Kick Return, Punt return AI=BAD

the AI blocking on punt/kick returns is bad on any difficulty.. they just dont block very well or open up anything. If you do get a good return it is because you ran to one sideline cut back got lucky and broke a tackle or two and went the other way.
