It's almost as if Madden is hard coded to give either the user a bonus or the CPU. If you play on All Madden, you will routinely see your offensive line whopped by the CPU defensive line, but your defensive line will be stonewalled by their offensive line. This will happen no matter what the ratings. Similarly, you'll see your AI defensive backs randomly stop in coverage or when chasing a ball carrier.
Most of the game play mods I've seen attempt to improve locomotion and things like that to make Madden more closely resemble football. But none of them seem to be primarily concerned with equalizing CPU AI and USER AI so that, for all AI interactions, only ratings matter. They seem concerned about beefing up the CPU to compensate for human intelligence, which is a fine goal in and of itself. Just not what I'm discussing here.
So, skilled modders, consider this a request. And for everyone else, if you happen to find a mod that does this, please let me know.
Obviously, I'll be trying to learn Frosty in much more detail to try to do it myself, but obviously that's going to take well in to the Madden 21 cycle. So, if you have any ideas as well, please let me know.
Thanks.
