The ai can't punt in the wind.....

One of the times the punt bounced off one of my guys, causing a fumble that the CPU was able to recover with the game on the line late in the 4th quarter. I couldn't help but laugh at this one, though. Watch how eager the Niners punter is to get to that ball before his teammates... https://clips.twitch.tv/mdnghtmgcn1/HomelyLarkOSsloth

Thanks for posting this. It's a good video. I have seen the ai punt and it didn't even make it back to the line of scrimmage. Hopefully the developers will fix this.

You'd think they could just disable sky punts til it's fixed. Or let us turn off wind.

I'm not sure it's on just skied punts because I've seen them do it from their own 20. Can't imagine they'd be trying to sky it from there but who knows with EAs ai logic

Sky punt isn't the problem..This happens when they're punting from their own 10. The fact this hasn't been fixed is completely and totally ridiculous.

I also have no idea which way the wind is actually going

It is not impossible that the AI is selecting the sky punt when punting from their own ten . . .

Did the patch address this? it said variety of special teams issues, but nothing specific.

Post patch I am seeing the AI line drive these 25 yard line drive knucklers into the wind. So that might be the fix they came up with for the sky punt fiasco. Not the best solution but better than having the AI bicycle kick the punts for negative yardage.

The wind still hampers kickoff logic and punts with the wind at their backs. The AI seems disconnected from the wind other than line driving it when into the wind.

And now that they have made FGs automatic, the special teams are really just a mess.

Really takes away from the game.
