Video demonstrating a flaw in the ai

Sliders and awareness don't help this. The only way to help is reduce the play recognition rating individually on each player.

There's a lot of problems with this game. I have a few videos I will be releasing as well.

Just second class programmers at EA - that is all this is. They are forced to keep deadlines that they probably know they can't meet so they put in little things like this to get their work done.

I find practice mode to be completely irrelevant to the actual gameplay.

Did you watch the video? He did tone down the safeties and the linebackers play recognition to zero.

He is complaining for absolute no reason, and here is why:

First play: The safety sees that the tight end is engage a block, and of course knows that it's a running play. Nothing wrong with that.
When he changes to PA the tight end does not engage a block, but runs a route, and therefore the safety goes in to zone coverage.
When he flips the run it's really easy to read what way the running back will run. A count would work perfectly here, just like IRL. Again the tight end is the reason that he knows it's a running play.

People really need to stop complaining for no reason. Most safeties/linebackers in college football would make these reads fairly easy.

I'm going to post something really interesting about this. This happened last year as well, but here goes. Try and keep an open mind.

He selected "Heisman" as the DIFFICULTY. Difficulty DOES NOT mean REALISTIC. Heisman is there as a challege, NOT a realistic setting. It makes the game harder for those that want it harder.

Just like Halo, CoD, any game that has difficulty, it's meant to make the game harder. How can a sports game, especially a football game, be harder without being cheap? Anyone?

True, but WR shouldn't act like they have never played football in their life either. They don't even fight DBs for the ball, they don't even go up and try and catch it most of the time. See Versuz's WR video.

I watched this video too and thought it was quite eye opening. This is something that I've also noticed happening. It's refreshing to see someone else make the same observation. Great work by versuz2
