He'd be worse than Ryan Leaf.
Is that possible?

I would really like to see the breakdown of ratings per position.When you check the depth chart you see the basic 4 and there were supposed to be at least a couple others per position stated in a thread at the Backbreaker forum from awhile back.I would be alright if there was a fix based on players ratings in a customized league.

Also I've been staying away from the poor teams in the demo and only playing Indy and Pittsburgh for the most part.I was taking Indy but started to play against them in hopes I would see a vastly superior result.Which I really didn't unfortunately.

Highly, highly doubt it. First, creating an AI routine is a lot of hard work, to create a second, slimmed down version for the demo would take even more time (although given how terrible it is, maybe not). But secondly and more important, AI code doesn't take up a lot of disk space, it's just words. Art, game assets, video, music, that's what takes up a ton of disk space, not the AI routines.

LOL Dont get me wrong. I would like NFL numbers.....definitely. Im not defending anything. Just giving a different point of view.

Right, but NFL, College, HS, Pee Wee, at no level would 3 picks in 4 minutes of game play be considered normal. So I am not sure what your point of view would be.

Well, for instance, in Madden the difference in ratings for starting QB's is on the norm of about 20 points. In Backbreaker, it could be 50 for all we know. Thats a long stretch down when it comes to performance.

Play against a 40 rated quarterback in Madden and see if hes just as bad.

I am not sure that is true. The devs stated on at least a couple of occasions that there were position related ratings beyond the general ones.

If I had to guess I think they just made the position related ratings not viewable in the demo. At this is what I am going with until we play the final game since the devs did state there was position related ratings at least a couple of times.

The offensive ai continues to frustrate me in the demo however, everything thing else is pretty good, but the offensive ai isn't cutting it. Too many picks and sacks.
