What’s Adaptive AI in EA SPORTS College Football 26?
What is Adaptive AI?
It’s how your coach thinks. In Dynasty Mode simulations, your playcalling adapts based on the AI profile you choose. You can select from nine options:
- Mad Scientist
- Matchup Oriented
- Reactive Schemer
- Balanced Pressure
- Situational Strategist
- Flexible Playcaller
- Ground Control
- System Coach
- Clock and Cushion
A coach with a more conservative Adaptive AI profile like System Coach might stick to a single scheme, while an aggressive option like Reactive Schemer might adapt on the fly.
Aggressive AIs
- Mad Scientist: High-risk, high-reward. Think wild blitzes and exotic coverages.
- Matchup Oriented: Quickly reacts to your opponent’s biggest threats as threats emerge.
- Reactive Schemer: Pressures the quarterback when repetitive pass plays are detected.
Balanced AIs
- Balanced Pressure: Mixes it up. Blitzes, standard defense, some adaptation
- Situational Strategist: Reacts to specific situations, like 3rd down or redzone.
- Flexible Playcaller: Adapts to trends while forcing opponents to play left-handed.
Conservative AIs
- Ground Control: Adapts to run plays, minimizes rushing yards, and controls tempo.
- System Coach: Sticks to the scheme. Minor tweaks, nothing flashy.
- Clock and Cushion: Uses zone coverage to limit big plays. Milks the clock.
Whether you want a grinder or a gambler, Adaptive AI changes how your team plays, even when you’re not on the sticks.
