Brain Dead CPU AI

[nylawyer]

1. Has anyone seen the CPU QB audible? I can press cover all day and the CPU seems to never audible to a deep pass. Likewise if I load up the line for a run.

2. AI is so bad on clock management that I now use Rewind to give AI a second chance. CPU down by 4 no time outs...Saints (CPU) v. Cowboys..5 seconds left. On the 50...throws a 4 yard dump off pass which I tackle....then I hit rewind....Brees then drops a 50 yard pass to win the game. Its so lame that I have to rewind to get the correct play.

Really wish they would let some of us to program the AI with some rules that are not broken....need a TD to win, no time outs, throw deep always....inside the 50 on a punt...punt for the corner...etc.

I wondered the same thing. The CPU never audibles. Does it audible if accelerated clock is off?

I play man to man press coverage the entire game, and the CPU never throws deep. Their only long plays come on broken tackles.

People the AI has alot of problems right now in this system. The AI overall needs to be redone all over again. I know how ya'll feel when playing. The AI just sucks for the most part.

OP and those others having AI issues, what level difficulty and play call style are you using? I play with custom sliders somewhere between All Pro and All Madden and the playstyle at Hardcore. While I agree with most of what you are saying, I think Hardcore playstyle helps sufficiently - at least for me. I agree though, improvements could be made in this area.

So what difficulty and play call style are you using?

[Whoman]

why would the way how you call plays change the AIs actions ? (haven´t played on hardcore yet, so pardon me if this is obvious)

And is there a difference in just going to "custom" and set sliders or to choose, say, All Madden and change those ?

i havent noticed a difference between hardcore playcalling and advanced

I popped Madden 09 for Xbox 360 to see the QB play....Cards v. Steelers...Big Ben was making audible calls left and right...moving receivers, calling pass plays in response to my defense... same thing on defense....sometimes in Madden 10, I will come out with 3 wide and the CPU be in a 4-3 and one receiver will go uncovered leading to a big gain.
