The quick slants to TE/slot WR's are nearly always open as when you run a 3 WR set they rarely match up with a nickel..they are more likely to just bring a house blitz (engage eight) and give up a big play. I like the game, but the AI's strategy is a bit lacking.

Cant say I agree with this

I agree. It makes playing the CPU frustrating and unrealistic. They blitz & you throw to the TE or the bat the pass down. Either those or your OL just let the LB's crush your QB.

I have had no problem with this for the most part. However i agree that the cpu strategy is off. I have noticed the cpu blitzes on 3rd down and sometimes 2nd down. I have never had a blitz on 1st unless it is goal line.

Re: AI blitzes too frequently

If they aren't blitzing too much it's a problem, if they are blitzing too much it's a problem....

We have a complaint thread for a reason -- I can't discuss this game on OS anymore because all I run into is silly threads like this. I'm not sure why I'm even posting in this thread other than to say I disagree.

Can't we just take the game for what it is, make suggestions for Patch #2 in the thread provided and move on? You have a right to complain, but threads like these aren't well thought out, IMO. I apologize if you think I'm attacking you personally because I'm not, you may be right about blitzing -- I have no idea, I just get tired of having to sort through these threads to actually talk about the game, my dynasty etc.

^^^If you don't like the thread, don't open it. Your way out of line.

As for the op's question I am not sure if I have seen to many blitzes but I do agree that the AI still does not match up it's defense to your offensive set as well they should. Still seeing way too many 3, 4 and 5 wr sets where the cpu comes out with 2 or 3 linebackers.

Totally agree... I hardly throw to my #1 receiver because of the problems with how the DBs release the WR.... hardly have time to throw to my #2 if I don't beat feet out of the pocket... my leading receivers are my TE and RB becuase the pocket is collapsing nearly every other play.

Yeah it's totally frustrating. You can never get a good pocket your always running for your life even against average teams. You can't even use play action because your QB will be eating dirt. If you try to get the pass out your going to get nailed and throw a duck. The duck will result in 99.99999999% INT for the CPU defense. While your defense drops every INT possible.

Your #1 and #2 WR's are worthless to you. You might as well play them in the slot if you want to get them the ball. No matter how good your WR is he will not get off the line. You will always overthrow him by 5-10 yards on deep balls no matter how fast he may be.

I don't really think that the comp blitzes too much, the problem that I have is that they always blitz on PA. I can honestly say that I have not run one PA against the computer where they are not blitzing. It makes running PA almost impossible unless you keep all but 2 people in to block.

This isn't really a complaint thread. I was just seeing if I'm the only one that noticed this. Like I said..I like the game but it seems my slot WR's generally rack up big stats because the AI loves to blitz out of their base formation (be it 3-4, 4-3, whatever) leaving the guy in the slot uncovered most of the time. The AI doesnt match up really unless you put 4 WR's out there. I hope Madden isn't like that, because the NFL is alot more about matchups.

Re: AI blitzes too frequently

I dont have a problem of how much the CPU blitzes, but WHEN. They blitz in really weird spots at times.

Ive seen the CPU blitz in end of half situations, where the only way they will get beat is if they leave a CB or S isolated..and sure enough, they do it.

I feel like the defenses blitz more the better the team is. I play with UNC a lot, and when I play Duke I rarely get blitzed. Then against VA Tech I get blitzed a lot. I feel like this happens pretty consistently.

I agree and it's always so predictable. They spread their LBs out and walk their safeties up.

EA needs to seriously remove the double CB blitz play. Who does that in real life?
