Madden NFL 12 Features Major Change in Defensive Secondary AI

[Steve_OS]

The Fantasy Football Informer has posted a new interview featuring new EA Sports Football GM Cam Weber. The interview touched many points, namely the changes to secondary play in Madden NFL 12.

Quote:

"Our defensive secondary play has received a major upgrade this year.” Cam went on to tell me how zone coverage behavior was addressed and that the AI(artificial intelligence) was tuned and given greater depth. “You’re going to see a major change in that (defensive secondary AI) in Madden NFL 12."

Sounds good. It was too easy to shred the CPU this year and I have my sliders jacked up for the CPUs pass defense. Had to drop my USER accuracy down to 5 just so they can slow me down. Great news.

Quote:

“This is a game (Madden NFL 12) that is dedicated to the hardcore fan, which is fundamental to my philosophy on how we will be successful.” Cam continued “Madden 12 is about delivering that experience first and foremost.”

Cautiously optimistic.

And I'm looking forward to running more quarters coverage with this new AI.

Hopefully this means my safeties will now realize they are the last line of defense in cover 2

Cautiously optimistic pretty much sums it up for me. Let's see what happens.

	“This is a game (Madden NFL 12) that is dedicated to the hardcore fan" Let's keep it that way for the future Maddens.

Yes. This.

And also, maybe not standing like fence posts in any zone scheme pretending there are no offensive receivers running around would be welcome.

Love it. A former college QB who get's it.

Plus, a resume of Fight Night and Fifa 10 to boot.
