That computer, IBM's "Deep Blue" beat the world chess champion Gary Kasparov back in 1997. That was 12 years ago.




Deep Blue was a supercomputer of it's time, but developed a measly 11.38 GFLOPS. Compared to the PS3 and XBox 360 this is not impressive.

If that computer could beat the world champ of chess 12 years ago with far less computing power, then-

1) Why does the CPU in Madden still call all it's plays at random?


These consoles are math machines, but they can't do statistical play-calling? The can't defend your plays based on your tendencies?

2) Why can it not adapt and plan ahead in it's strategy.


The CPU should roll a safety over Randy Moss once he's over 100 yards. And keep him there for the duration. No more man coverage for Randy. The CPU should be stacking the box against Adrian Peterson, not backing out into cloud coverage on 1st down.

3) Why can't the CPU even use plays for their intended purpose.


Run screens and draws to beat blitzes, square ins and hitches to beat over coverage.

4) Why don't the playbooks contain complete plays?

There are no blocking assignments in this game. None. You cannot tell any single player to block any other single player. That's just wrong. Running plays in particular are incomplete. Because there is no goal to the play the CPU's running backs never know what hole to hit. Thus they always run into the backs of linemen, get stuck and tackled. It also makes it difficult for the human player to exploit weaknesses in a defense, whether it be a poor alignment or a weak defender.

ADAPTIVE AI IS A GAME CHANGER.

It will make Madden the game it was meant to be, a strategic challenge. It will tax the mind as well as the reflexes and make the game finally complete. Adaptive AI is a must have item for any game to call itself "Next Gen".
They possibly could do this.. But they concentrate more on cosmetics..Graphics and sound...Basically to please the general public...Maybe one day..It is progressing, but slowly
