AI QB Scrambles

Wanted to separate this out from the main Bugs and dev tweets thread to discuss.

Note: THIS IS NOT THE "AI QB WON'T PASS AT ALL" GLITCH. THAT'S A SEPARATE ISSUE

So I am testing this now. Cover 2 man is traditionally a defensive call that will induce QB runs because there are no intermediate defenders and no one assigned to the QB. I am playing defense only against Tyrod Taylor and am charting situations as "missed scramble opportunities."

Now, QBs shouldn't theoretically scramble all that much. This postfrom 2013 states that there are about 2.8 QB scrambles total per game, about 1.4 per team. However, using a strategy where we run a very scramble-friendly defense we should induce about that many from the AI QBs.

If you're interesting in working on this problem, please try to replicate my testing (perhaps with a better man defense), and take screens when you think the QB should have run, such as this one below:




The more evidence I can get on this the better chance I have of getting it tuned, if it's not already being worked on.
