The game has a lot of potential, but one issue that's been talked about a lot online is the CPU rarely calling running plays. Can the logic be tuned so that the CPU calls running plays at a more realistic rate?
There's a massive thread at OS talking about the issue: https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/madden-nfl-football/1015850-ai-passes-75-time.html
Thanks.
@lowerwolfThe CPU tries to look at down and distance vs score , because most Madden games are only 4-6 minutes just like in real life more passing plays happen unless the score is in favor the offense to run and eat clock. If you play 12-15 minute quarters on All-Pro or All-Madden you will see more of a NFL type feel on play-calling , that's why you see more passing in the NFL in the second half if the teams are even or only by 1 score.
The issue persists even with longer quarter lengths. It has to do with how the plays are starred in the playbooks. Lots of testing done in that thread I linked.
I missed it earlier, but today's patch notes mentioned that AI play calling will be addressed in a future title update. I take it to mean they're aware of the issue and will fix it at some point.
