The ai can't punt in the wind.....
I have played a few games where the wind was over 10mph last night it was 16 and the ai had some negative punts. Some of of them occurred at their 20 or 30 yard line so I'm not sure what was going on. It's like they are trying to sky punts into the wind or the ai thinks the wind is actually at their back when it's in their face so they try to take something off of it and it doesn't go any where. It ruined what was an otherwise entertaining game. Three times they punted for negative yards like lined up at the 30 and ball went straight up on the air and landed in a pile of people at the 28.

I think it happens when you do the sky punt thingy.

Not talking about the human player I'm talking about when playing the ai if the wind is above 10mph they will punt the ball for little or even negative yardage it destroys the gameChalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Yeah I'm saying I think the A.I is trying to sky punt. I've had them have decent punts into wind before. Just sometimes they go straight up.

Re: The ai can't punt in the wind.....
It's because the wind direction arrow doesn't point the right way. On punts it's off by 90 degrees, so it messes up the CPU sometimes.Comment

Yes the ai has everything backwards in the punting game. This should be an easy programming fix in the patch. Is ea aware of this?Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: The ai can't punt in the wind.....
Had them do this 3 times in a row and each time the ball bounced off my returner's head/shoulder pad and they recovered... So yeah, patch please.Comment

I'm not sure if EA is aware, I can tweet them this link.
The wind arrow points the wrong way on XP's and FG's as well. It's not just during punts.
So the CPU sometime screws up punting but they will also screw up kicking for more points because they follow the arrow, and this year, the arrow is wrong.
The wind direction arrow pointed the wrong way on M25 and M15. They finally fixed it in M16, and now in Madden 17, it is glitched again.
Knowing which way the wind goes has been a challenge for EA for several years now.Comment

Yes please tweet them if you have the ability to get this on their radar. It's a game killer. Played Vikings at Panthers and got a cheesy victory because of this. Carolina punted from their 30 and wound up hitting down on their 25 a couple times.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Iced,
If you can send out a tweet that'd be awesome. Seems to be the best way to raise up the awareness for the devs these days.
The CPU poor kicking and the ridiculously overdone wind speed effects on FG attempts really ruin the field position battle.
ThanksComment

Re: The ai can't punt in the wind.....
I was playing a game last night. The cpu did one of those 10 yard punts. I am frantically switching players to call for a fair catch by my returner but because he is never closest to the ball it never switches to him. He takes it on the bounce at a full sprint and takes it to the house. This really sucks, ea can not even get the wind to interact with a football game after all these years. They should be embarrassed.Comment

Re: The ai can't punt in the wind.....
Thanks for tweeting them. Several threads have brought up the ai punting/wind issue but not sure EA is aware. I've held my league in pre-season in hopes they will addressComment
