Again, I don't really have an explanation. PS - In the build where I was adjusting sliders, I was adjusting User INT's to zero - so the human wouldn't pick off the QB as much (since I know people were originally concerned that the CPU QB threw too many picks). (ducks out of way of flying chairs) So anyway - I don't know what else to say really.

thats fine, I just wanna know, does the AI get tougher and notice if you are starting kick there butt, like does the game no to play harder against you?

So than what do we do to combat the robo cpu qb? An issue which in fact you said was essentially a non factor. This has to be a joke.....right? This is a nightmare. The game seems to be unplayable just like ncaa out of the box (due to insanely accurate cpu qb's) and there is nothing we can do to fix it. Sorry if I sound upset its just that I was looking forward to having fun with an NFL game this year.

Maybe he was doing this test with the patched version of the game.

it was USER INT not Both... this is the thread.

Some CPU QB stats in Madden 09

Well thanks for biting the bullet and responding. I don't envy you at all right now...

Let the meltdown begin.

Well...to be fair, he only just became the lead designer (after 09 was completed)...that's about all the defense that can really be mustered up on this though, I guess.

That's a wrap for me. Like many others this will be the first time ever that I will have passed on both Madden and NCAA. No rants or name calling, or grudges, I'll just see how things shake out next year.

The custom controller issue is not that big of a deal.

However, I CANNOT say the same about the lack of cpu sliders........

akademiks · 07-31-2008, 11:00 PM

is there any way this can be patched??

Adam Dayton · 07-31-2008, 11:00 PM

Btw, how do you discover this huge issue only 2 weeks ago when you are the madden senior designer? A regular person figured this out within 1 hour of owning the game, lol.
