Madden A.I. system is broken, "video proof"

[WeBB15]

Just ran the same play offense and defense as this guy does in the video and I concluded .... this video is completely false.

Everybody do this play in practice, and you will not see the same results.

THIS VIDEO IS FALSE.

I would take video but I dont have a video adapter.

Are you using the same difficulty, settings, and sliders as the man in the video?

Just went back and checked....

The only difference.... Mine is on All Pro... His is Pro. And I'm playing on Slow.

These days, it's smart to pick nickel when playing against TEs like Graham, Vernon Davis, Gronk, etc.

What's wrong with that selection?

I can confirm that this issue is present on the all-pro difficulty. Which is a major flaw considering the default settings on standard online play is set to all-pro.

Blocking has always been terrible. My QB even gets hit in the backfield sometimes on a handoff lol.

OK, just did my own "labbing", both in Practice and in Play Now. In Practice the DE goes unblocked every time BUT in Play Now, on both All Pro and All Madden, he is blocked by either the TE or by the LT. I even tried Practice with two controllers for User v User and User v CPU, no difference, DE blows by every time. So the good news is, this does NOT happen in Play Now games, with User v User BUT I have no way of testing User v CPU in Play Now because I can't pick the CPU plays. However, I would think since the results for User v User and User v CPU in Practice were the same, that likely applies to Play Now too.

So this doesn't seem to be the case or an issue in Play Now games, All Madden or All Pro difficulty. I wonder is this intentional that Practice is slightly different than actually games. Anyway, I will be more careful from now on to do some independent research about things like this. The video clearly shows it's Practice Mode, so I am not downing Versuz, just saying I now see just because something works one way in Practice, does NOT mean it works like that in an actually game.

Am I missing something because I don't so a broken A.I. system that is scripted all I see is bad blocking logic. There's something that needs to be realized. One is that this is a new defensive formation and the blocking system is having a tough time accounting for the defensive end. Once the blocking system is overhauled, hopefully in 2014, you won't see this anymore.

It’s funny that the video maker assumes the entire game is broken because of one play but not that the blocking on that one play is the thing that’s broken. Great logic.
