Re: I'm now convinced...A.I. is broken
O.K.,this debate has been raging for years,here's my 2 cents worth-
It's not about winning or losing,it's about keeping it real.
If I line my 91 rated D.E. up against a 57 rated R.T. Should he get max pressure and be able to get past him.
If the cpu has a L.T. at 5th wide reciever[yes this happened,the Rams had 3 w.r.'s out injured]should he be able to make 3 catches downfield,one on 3rd down and 2 on 4th?
Should a 64 rated rookie w.r. make 5 catches in a row,no drops,and score a game winning T.D. in the last 2 mins?
Why do I have to fumble a punt return after a couple of 3 and outs on the cpu,nearly every game,I ended up with 9 punt fumbles last season.
Should a back up Q.B.,with 20 overall points less than the starter,come into the game and lite me up?
Why would the Rams only use Faulk 9 times to run the ball,with 3 of their starting w.r.'s out,and instead have Bulger throw to F.B.'s and Tackles in 5 reciever sets?I was only ever in front by 10 points.
Does Trent Dilfer really have the agility of Vick when he's in the pocket?
I could go on,but all these things seem to happen when the cpu's behind,the o-line becomes a brick wall-regardless of who you line up against,the w.r.'s all become Torry Holt,the Q.B.'s become Elway,and the T.E.'s Gonzales.
"The momentums changing"you'll hear Al say,but why?What has happened that would reverse my players[or the cpu's] form so much?The cpu stops me at the goal-line and I kick a field goal,I'm now up by 21 points,there's 4 mins to go,why should my D self destruct????The games in the bag,I've been on top of the offense all day,but because I didn't score a T.D. on my last drive my whole team falls apart????
I played soccer semi-pro for 15 years,and when your down by 3 goals with 5 minutes to go,nothing apart from a huge line of cocaine is gunna get your head up,regardless of who's on your team.
I'm playing the Browns,I'm up 35-3,Thomlinson is having a ball,3 mins to go and Al says that they have to score quickly now????Why,the game's over!!!So I put my controller down and watch as Holcomb[Garcia's injured in the 1st] goes balistic and racks up 160 + yards in 2 mins-there goes my passing stats for the game.
I watched with a wry smile yesterday as Green Bay bought in their rookie Q.B. to replace Fauvre late in the 4th,why,because the game was over,47-21!!!But if that was Madden,Fauvre would have gone into 2min drill mode,and soured what would have been a great victory.
I think that this is the greatest dissopointment with Madden,it doesn't know when to give up and it doesn't play to the depth charts.Sure there are stand out rookies each season,or players who play above their ratings,but why is it every team I play against????
I quote the great John Madden from a Monday Nite game a while ago-"Well they've lost this one,so they're gunna bring in the back-ups for a few snaps,the last thing they wanna do is have one of their starters injured when theyve got no chance of coming back."If only E.A. practised what he preached,cheers Stench
