PLEASE tweak CPU RB awareness

[capa]

Hoping that Rex and team will concentrate on tweaking cpu running back awareness. It seems that many people who are streaming or providing feedback on the game are saying the cpu RBs are missing holes and running into backs of linemen way too often.

I hope this can be addressed in the first patch. I know some things can be tweaked with sliders, but this is an area that should function "correctly" out of the box. PLEASE provide some attention on this, or the folks who play offline vs cpu, and even those who play Coach mode (yes, we are out here) will have a tough time finding a realistic balance in the running game.

agreed

this is my #1 concern , now above aggressive catches being OP or not

as a user i can adjust how i choose to play the game and not abuse the aggressive catches, but with the CPU runningback AI being so poor, theres not much i can do about that.

I agree also....

I agree it should be tuned better out of the box, sounds similar to last year.

CPU RB ability up a few ticks, CPU run blocking up a few ticks......

I'll echo, not concerned about the catching mechanics being unbalanced—especially after Rex's great brakdown in the thread about it.

CPU RB and QB running AI needs work. I can imagine it's difficult to program navigation of congested areas around the line of scrimmage, but as challenging as I accept it might be, it needs to be better at this point in the generation.

In fairness, I think Sliders could fix this. For the CPU anyway.

You are probably right...but after last year's fiasco about how changing one slider changed gameplay in another area, I'd rather they get the mechanics correct out of box. I change sliders like everyone else, but hopefully that can be to a minimum this year...especially after 15's debacle with it.

I said this in another thread, there isn't a sports I've ever owned that I didn't tweak with sliders to play the game I want.
