Madden NFL 17: AI Proves a Worthy Teammate

[RaychelSnr]

Perhaps more than any other team sport, football relies on every player on the field working perfectly in tandem on each play in order to achieve success. In Madden, this has led to plenty of frustration in the past because the ability to control only one player at any given time means having to depend on the game’s artificial intelligence to get the remaining players into the right place at the right time and react accordingly.

Thankfully, Madden 17 has remedied a number of the AI issues that have plagued earlier iterations of the game and made it less likely that you will be blaming the inherent deficiencies in the game’s programming for your team’s shortcomings on the field.

I find the run blocking choices to be worse this year in the open field. Linemen inexplicably run away from a defender dead in their sights to move to the side to double or block someone not even in the immediate vicinity. Playmaker in this instance needs to return.

By the way, Von Miller is a wonderful pass rusher, maybe the best in the NFL. Guarding the leagues best TEs? Probably not the best in the NFL at that.

I wouldn't go so far and praise the zone defense - there are a lot of open receivers from the computers stand point - is it better yes, but covering the underneath routes and there are holes all over the human zone coverage - the computer zone coverage however is stout!

The holes are there in principle depending on the coverage you choose. For instance, if you choose Cover 2 Hard Flat, there will be holes for corner routes and deep outs.
