Summarize your bug You literally can't sack a AI qb due to intentional grounding everytime you're about to sack them they throw the ball out of any reciever ability to catch the ball while standing still in the pocket
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game and you'll see it. Happens everytime. If you want I can even give a video evidence of it on my YouTube channel
What happens when the bug occurs? The AI qb is able to throw the ball in pocket( intentional grounding) and no penalty is being called.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to get sacks. That's what I expect unless I am asking for too much.

Oh while we're at it. Just remember pass interference is not being called against the AI they can literally block your wide receiver while he's running his route and nothing will be called but the moment you do it, it's a major problem

  • @Legit_Biscuit448 agree. it is really frustrating to see this pattern. I'm mainly playing Solo modes (against the AI) and I've seen a lot of very strange animations (or non-animations) too (I uploaded some of my observed patterns to youtube, see my post here if you are interested: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Player-collisions-huge-need-for-additional-animations/m-p/10118642).

    If I remember correctly, I've heard that the PI penalty has been added in Madden 21 because some players ran into WRs on purpose to disrupt them in their route. in principle, the AI does not do this on purpose. it simply happens, unfortunately, because there is no mechanism to prevent these collisions.
