Madden NFL 10 Blog: Adaptive AI

12:33 PM - April 10, 2009 by jimbo1215

EA has just posted another Madden NFL 10 blog. This one covers adaptive AI.

Quote:


	"In nearly every sports game that you�ve ever played, there usually comes a time where someone discovers some sort of gameplay strategy that is extremely successful (in an unbalanced way). Often times these are considered �exploits� because they are either impossible or extremely hard to stop. You may find it on your own, or you may learn it from someone abusing you with it online, or you may even pay to find it on a shady website. Regardless, these exploits can often extremely hamper the replay value of a game because at some point, nearly everyone gets tired of doing the same thing over and over again and beating up the CPU by 100 points�and at this point the game typically comes out of the tray. Whether it�s an exploit or a �money play�, it�s all frustrating�so from the start of the cycle we knew that we wanted to create an Adaptive AI infrastructure in our football games. Two of our most experienced gameplay / AI engineers � Daniel White and Ryan Burnsides � took the reigns with designing and implementing the majority of this system so I hope this blog does it justice.

Then again honeslty outside this website, no one is expecting this game to be much better than the last. i think this website actually gives the idea of hype that is not really shared across the gaming world.

Besides this site and the people that follow the blogs, no one else really knows that there is a new dev team.

I very interested to see how IGN, gamespot, 1up, etc. note the fact that they have a new dev team and note these features and the community interaction (that is if they do at all) since that's where a lot people get madden news from.

If I heard them admit just once the truth I could then believe. When they gave Sony a tip of the hat for MLB 09 that was a unique move. While it showed them acknowledging a great product it was kinda calculated. After all EA doesn't make baseball games and Sony doesn't make football games. So their not really tipping their hat to their "competitors". Now if I heard them acknowledge 2K8 and/or 2K5 then I'd buy Madden 10 the day it comes out.

Ian has a reel of 2k5 running in his office on a daily basis so his co-workers can see the presentation and gameplay of the 2k series.

This is the same exact thing I have been asking. I guess they can't speak on it yet.

Either that or it hasn't been changed. Kind of like the issue with the CPU throwing the deep ball. Haven't heard anything on that one either.
