Why do we continue to buy this game?
I just played about 9 games against the computer on all madden level. on average during a 6 minute timed quaters the computer ran the ball 7 times. Yes thats right 7 times. i counted 0 times the computer threw the ball deep down field, i even played against TO and moss. the NFL is al about balance. 50% run 50% pass not 80-20 or 90-10. why does this happen? its because the AI is horrible. The game suffers from the same offensive versus defensive linemen problems it always has. It essentially makes no diffrence who you have on the line, the AI will either block or completly go through your block regardless of who the person is. The fix is an easy one and here it is. Lets say I have A left tackle who is a 99 overall, rarely should he be beaten by anyone especailly a player with a 80 or below but it does happen in the game. the fix is like a roll of the dice in risk or the system that CIVILIZATION uses. The defense lineman attacks with an 80 I defend at a 99. I will win that battle all day, same concept here. This would then allow my offensive lineman to block his guy and then get into the 2nd level and block a linebacker thus helping the running game. on the other side if the defensive linemen is better then i would have to double team that DT to stop the pressure which would allow the opposite end DT to have one on one matchup and if he is good then he would get the pressure, think of Strahan, and Umyenuria from the giants last year. Moss as a 99 reciver should beat every corner in the league forcing the defense to double team him thus freeing up welker or the running game because we have stretched the defense. the games needs to focus on the one on one matchups. i get the feelings that they are just watering down the game year after year, hey EA we have been playing it for 20 years feel free to make it as advanced as possible. I could go on and on but whats the point they will never fix the problems and we continue to buy. I hate this game offline.
