Blocking AI issues from UNC vs. NC State video w/ pictures

[boritter]

Before you complain about another thread:

I spent a lot of time putting these screenshots together. I was going to edit my old thread and paste these screenshots in but the old thread had been closed by then. I didn't want all my work to go to waste.

I believe there is a bug in NCAA 10 where offensive linemen turn around and face their own QB if an offensive lineman does not have a defender to engage with. So this happens on 3 or 4 man rushes and when the defense stunts. Stunting appears to make the OL think they have no one to block and triggers the animation where the OL turns the wrong way.

I have additional pictures of this animation here in this closed thread:

The purpose of this thread is to document the poor blocking AI in NCAA 10 so that the NCAA developers can see that it still needs to be tweaked. If this can be fixed a lot of the blocking issues that NCAA has had the past few years will be removed. This thread is not meant to discourage anyone from buying NCAA 10.

If you reply to this thread please do not try to talk anyone out of buying the game or say that the game stinks. I spent waaaaay too much time capturing and creating these screens for this thread to get closed like my last one did.

All these screens are from the NC State vs. UNC video that Steve has uploaded.














I hope these pictures help EA fix the blocking AI when they patch NCAA 10.

Honestly, how many threads are we going to have these pictures in? You made your point in the original thread and we've got these pasted in the video threads as well. Yes, the blocking AI at times is downright stupid. The frequency at which this occurs and the sometimes bad results should be monitored.

I hope you know the mods will throw a hissy-fit and lock it.

I kid. But seriously, I really applaud the job you and moostache(sp) (and any others I left out) have done and I hope that when the dev. team looks at this thread and others similar to this, they take notice and hopefully fix this problem before next month, patch it or put it near the top of the list as a must-fix for next year.

Great job.

We got the point the first time we know the AI blocking is questionable we have monitor it but honestly you don't have make a new thread about every video

Seriously man? Enough already.

I do like the breakdown, but to go on and on about it after the other thread was locked is a little overboard. Great effort though.

Thanks for being so helpful guys. These two threads are the only two threads I have started in the NCAA forum for a year or two so I don't think I'm polluting the forums.

As I mentioned in my post, I am hoping that this helps EA isolate and correct the blocking problem. I spent a lot of time putting these screenshots together. I was going to edit my old thread and paste these screenshots in but the old thread had been closed by then. I didn't want all my work to go to waste.

Again, thanks to both of you for being so helpful.

This should have been posted in the UNC vs NCSU thread.

Closed.
