Horrible QB AI

[Jason_Moyer]

Is it just me, or is it impossible to run a west coast offense in coach mode? If I call halfback passes, screens, short attacks, quick outs, etc. the QB always stands there holding onto the ball and getting pummeled instead of doing the play I called, which is usually meant to be a 3 or 5 step drop and a quick release. I'm experiencing this with the patch installed too, which claims to fix the "too many sacks in coach mode" bug. It just seems there's no way at all for an AI-controlled QB to run short pass plays, and this problem has existed in Madden for at least 3 versions now, albeit now instead of throwing deep passes every play the human CPU-controlled QB will tuck the ball and run right into a defensive lineman. The AI CPU-controlled QB's still seem to put up their normal 7 for 30 for 200 yards passing performances since they don't tuck the ball as much. Overall, it's kinda silly.

PC patch has not officially been released...that was just a roster update I believe. If you are playing on console, we are screwed as far as QB sacks go...

The only reason I play on coach mode is because the game is way too easy if I actually play. Mostly, this is because the computer playcalling is horrible (I can score 10 touchdowns a game in a 120-play game no problem just running 2 plays over and over even on Madden difficulty with extreme slider tweaking). Couple the AI's complete inability to recognize patterns in your playcalling with its inability to run the football or complete more than 30% of its passes if I run nothing but Cover 2's all day and you've got another installment of Madden that I could teach my 3 year old daughter to beat.

You must have a bugged copy of Madden if you can run Cover 2's and the CPU consistently completes 30% of its passes... in my copy, I consistently get burned deep if I do that....

I must be missing something here...... I know what I'm not missing.... the majority of your posts so far have been bashing the AI..... even if you really were having these problems, there comes a point and time when you should just let it go....
