CPU making you throw interceptions!!!

[Lucky Lacy]

I finally noticed this, Im in my 4th year of franchise and I play every game. I use the adaptive a.i. feature still because I like a challenge. The big flaw is that when my pass offense meter fills up, the cpu will make me throw 2 or 3 picks the next game just to bring it back down. It wouldnt bother me if I was making bad decisions in throwing, but its blatant that my qb will throw a couple passes straight to the defender or the opposite of where I was throwing when me passing meter is filled.

Next year lets make the a.i. truly adaptive, if my qb is a passing threat, make the cpu play more coverage defense and use more db's so I would be forced to run more, do not make me throw picks for the sake of it.

It is made like that cause the AI is very bad and the engione just isn't suffienct. A lot of problems in Madden 08 happened, like when you threw to the open guy, the ball would like fly into the defender's hands as if he was using The Force. Try playing another football game if this pisses you off.

1.) it does piss me off

2.) I like madden, I just do not like that part. Even if I was not a fan of madden, this is the only NFL choice I have.

The only option is to pick your spots more. Use more screens, drags, quick ins and the like and play a more balanced game. If you throw the ball all over the feild on all-madden passing then you're gonna get picked off some. Otherwise it wouldnt be that difficult.

I do know that if you try to throw straight bullets and a defender is anywhere in the path, it will get picked more often than not, paticularly on the higher settings. There's no real ability to drop one over the defenders with any regularity. Not sure that constitutes the CPU "Making you throw interceptions" though.

Re: CPU making you throw interceptions!!!

I know exactly what he's saying. Sometimes, no matter HOW you angle you passes, and no matter HOW open your WR is, the CPU will force your pass to go 5 feet left,right or up to allow it to get picked off. There is NOTHING you can do to stop it either and it's completely random.

It's one of the biggest CPU cheeze plays in the game and when it happens to me, depending on the situation, I'll just quit and start over.

Dw. Game physics are stuffed. Superhuman dlinemen and linebackers. The ball warps into the defenders hands when they're both doing the spin catch.

Hopefully they fix it next year and appreciate head tracking as an important part to football.

That's awful. If the outcome of plays are going to be predetermined EA should just release a text based NFL game and spare us the frustration.

Re: CPU making you throw interceptions!!!

I know this is kinda off topic, but does any1 else think that the ball is thrown way to high when u throw the deep ball? it goes like straight up in the air and just looks a bit unnatural to me.

You're clearly confused or delusional. Everyone knows that deep balls have to be higher than punts so those big linemen don't swat them down

...I agree...lol. That and the ball being too big drive me nuts. Along with the lack of a pocket, innefectiveness of playaction, lack of "weight" to the QB in the "pocket" (in quotes due to my formentioned reference to a lack of a real pocket), etc. Really, the passing game needs a lot of work, IMO.

Thank you kind sir, that is exactly what I was trying to explain. I love the game but that needs to be tuned down a little for next year. We cant have perfect qb's all over but we shuldn't be forced into picks.
