I appreciate your opinion and your perspective. I disagree slightly, I think you can program that kind of code based on ratings and tendencies. I am sure it would be hard to program it but it can be done, IMO.

I do agree that boneheaded stuff happens all the time in real life, so to see it happen in the game is understandable to a certain extent. In my opinion, there is a difference between "a bonehead play" and " a legacy issue."

In the case of Antonio Brown not making a block in the Steelers clip, I guess that could be considered a bonehead play.

In the case of Keap taking a stupid sack on the screen, that's a legacy issue.

Either way, I agree with you that very few games are perfect, that being said, if nobody talks about what can get better, it won't get better.
Everything in this post is spot on correct, but I will replace one word which is the reason for the frustration.

You shouldn't get "killed" as all constructive, respectful posts should be , in turn, respected.
Yes from where I started (handhelds then onto Atari etc..)it has gotten better. So for me it's not that it hasn't gotten better (especially recently) but rather it's been waaaaaay to long for the advancements we are getting. Am I happy we are seeing improvements? Absolutely. I'm NOT happy that we went a generation (360 and PS3) with subpar games and no real advancement of the genre. Even with what we're finally seeing now, I could only imagine where the genre would have been right now with multiple companies competing for our $


But the problem with any sports game is that the developers are trying to simulate what they think a HUMAN will do in certain situations. You cannot write code to tell a SS safety to cheat in down in the box because he has seen a certain play several times.

Totally disagree. They can program amount of certain play calls BY FORMATION not actual plays, as we don't need any more cheat AI... and have that tied into a players awareness ratings etc..
Remember when we'd get the feedback after calling a certain amount of runs.. we'd see "Play Set Up" which cued that we might be more successful with playaction... etc.. So that tells me they had some code written in that made certain players vulnerable to being fooled. If so then the opposite can happen.


Even in the NFL, we curse our own teams when they make a stupid play. (missed tackes, overthrown passes) Why? They are humans!!!!! Humans have this crazy ability to think. Simulated video football players for whatever reason do not think, they go where they are told to go in the code. This is why exploits are found every year. If man made it , man can break it. Let's just enjoy the GAME, because at the end of the day that is what it is, A GAME!!!!!
I refuse to believe that better AI can not be written. Hopefully EA has the talent to get there though. I'm a bit skeptical (or was but let's see what M16 holds for us) after all the "Do it yourself" replies when we asked about CPU AI doing something on their own.

I don't really know where I should ask this question so I'll just ask it in here.. Sorry if it's off topic. Any word on if they fixed the issue when being an owner? When I played as an owner at the end of the season I wouldn't have enough money to do anything and it made it impossible to play as an owner.

Is this what you're referring to? This is from the Madden 16 CFM deep dive blog

OWNER MODE FINANCE TUNING
Small-market teams in older stadiums now have more money to spend into the offseason every year.

One tiny thing I hope will be updates is the look of the taped-in shoes. They look ridiculous. They should take a look at FIFA and MLB The Show. Those cleats and accessories look great and add to the feeling of playing a real game.
