Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
I'm playing on Heisman, with CPU coverage maxed out at 100, and the CPU is still serving big plays. Posts, verticals, wheels, streaks, etc are always left open down field. AI DB's are not adjusting like they are supposed to, they still stand around and play an area or zone when nobody is there, when they should be going with the WR. I played a 8 min game with USC vs South Carolina last night, switching sides for offense, and used 1 play for each team for a whole half and threw 4 TD's a piece, literally using the exact same play. Just go play a game calling post/vertical/streak/wheel routes and see how the CPU defenders stick to there zone while leaving wide open WR's down field. Press coverage also seems to be broke. CPU presses, safties aren't there to help up top, they're not deep enough or come too late or something. When I see a press it's an automatic huge play every single time. This isn't supposed to be happening with the new zone defense system. Very frustrating, it's made the game basically unplayable for me.Last edited by CBizzle; 07-15-2011, 07:34 PM.NBA: Los Angeles Lakers

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
+1
The games unplayable, its just Verticals against Verticals as the AI secondary won't play the ball in the air. I'm at the point where its disadvantageous to have 3rd and long as the CPU just completes a 50 yard bomb everytime. -
Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
The problem is the AI playing deep balls in the air (either on the User or CPU team). Even in 2 Man (DBs playing off) the ball is completed deep as the DBs don't fight for the ball or make repeated huge busts.Comment

^This.
Im on default AA with 25/25 INT sliders and I can barely complete passes longer than 15 yards. Coverage is tight.Comment

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
Im playing on Heisman and have CPU pass coverage at 100 too and I'm passing all over the place. I just played Virginia Tech (me) vs Alabama who has a loaded secondary in a 9 min qtr game and it was 31 to 14 me at the end of the 1st quarter. I wasn't even calling verticals...
I saw no difference in pass coverage at 50 or 100...

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
Me too, default AA and I feel like I'm facing a secondary featuring Ed Reed, Deion Sanders, etc. If the CPU calls a pass defense and you call a passing play you pretty much can't throw the ball down field from what I've seen so far.
Sometimes you can get something downfield vs Cover 2, if it's Cover 3 or 4 I won't even look down field after I recognize the D they're in."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

I'm playing coach mode and defenses are tight on AA.Comment

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
I have not noticed it until I read about it on a slider thread and started to air it out my last game and can definitely see this problem. Why is it so difficult to make a football game it must be by far the harder sports game to make for this to be happening on the hardest level. This nonsense does not happen with any other sports. We all got so excited to see the improvements but really whats the point if your gonna play a game for 2 days then sit around and wait for a patch.Comment

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
It is harder to complete shorter and medium-range passes as coverage is tight. But receivers are open far too regularly on deep routes. If you continuously throw deep passes you'll march up and down the field with ease.It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
I wouldn't know because no matter who I use my OL is sieve on AA or Heisman. I never have enough time to let my WRs get that deep down the field.

Re: Something is seriously wrong with the defensive AI.
I'm not seeing this at all..
If anything, the secondary is too good in this game. Some of you guys must be really exceptional playersComment

I must be a horrible horrible player. Defenses are challenging me.
