RTG DEF is completely screwed
RTG - Defense
Okay this really is annoying, i've done extensive testing and it's just not at all on any level fair or playable for anyone who plays CB/LB on RTG. how do you expect 1 person on an 11 man team to stop everything? Did you even test this game?
1. AI defenders are just brain dead, I've watched my teammates literally watch the QB/RB run directly towards them and they react after the player is past them. No one who's ever played football just watches someone run by and then realize they should do their jobs.
2. Ratings are pointless! No matter you speed and acceleration you just can't keep up with the receivers, hell I can't even keep up with TE's. My current CB is 98 OVR with 98 Speed and 99 Acc and he's getting torched by TE's! make it make sense?
3. CPU exploits the hell out of COD by moving in unrealistic ways, for side straddling without losing speed, initiating juke moves in the process of receiving a hand-off, sidestepping multiple times without loss of momentum or anyone being able to catch them. RB's will ping pong off of the linemen and slingshot 5 yards instantly..
4. TACKLING! it's horrendous to watch it take 5-8 guys have to tackle ANY RB no matter the ratings! I get Collegiate tackling isn't the best but every player on every play needing to be gang tackled even when a play is blown up in the backfield is insane. literally watching a RB bounce pf 8 tackles 7 yards in the backfield and turn it into a 30+ yard gain is crazy, does it happen? Yes! often? NO!
My biggest issue is as former CB who knows Football and defenses it's deflating to put a team in a 3rd and forever and they just convert, I don't mind if i picked the wrong play for the series but if i read it and audible correctly why is the play blown up? whats the point of pushing them back into an extremely difficult conversion just for them to just convert every time. finding myself in 8+ drive defensive series all game long is crazy especially when my team defense is rated higher by 10+ points over the offense I'm playing yet they march us down the field repeatedly my offense blowing great field position on turnovers and walking away with nothing no field goal nothing is not okay. Every team no matter rating plays the same offensively. It's very frustrating that in order to win a game my defense has to score every time! EA you make way too much money to pass this garbage off to us for the amount you charge.
I'm not just speaking as a gamer but as someone who's been a QA Tester/Lead for almost 2 decades i see all the blatant code deficiencies and laziness. YOU DIDN'T TEST THIS!!!
so you know I'm not just talking trash my credit list is in the link below.
EA you gotta do better!!! This is unacceptable. I shouldn't be struggling to beat Baylor with Oregon when we outmatch them in every position on both sides of the ball, they have no Star Players on the OL and I have at least 7 players on Def with Stars under them yet we can get around blocks and frequently give up big rush yards on plays that the CPU runs repeatedly and I've keyed it and adjusted to stop it. I've done shell, audibles etc to prevent the read of coverage and someone is always open or the QB gets 25 seconds to get a throw off because there's zero pressure on him so he winds up finding some open guy that just created a route and the defenders stand and watch him catch it. There's no ball logic for my teammates they never know where the ball is and are playing for the hit instead of the stop, not to mention the AI making catches in cluttered areas while getting knocked silly, that's rare not often in real life!
