Madden 2010 Two Minute Drill Simulation, to compare with APF 2k8 Part 3

A simple comparison of how the computer emulates gameplay in a 2 minute drill, for comparison to APF 2k8.

To me, this really seems like comeback AI. The Browns shut the Colts run game down 3 straight times, the Colts try off tackle runs, then shift Reggie Wayne in to block?

The QB Protection for the Browns is next to amazing, the sliding and sidestepping, the Colts have two of the best pass rushers in the game.

The Browns also seldom try any sideline passes, despite having no time outs.

The kick return was set up by motion shift blocking at 3:54 in the upper right hand corner. Its not clear how the onside kick goes. On the last possession the Browns check down to the middle of the field and take a sack. No attempt at a hail mary or sideline pass when you have no time outs?

There's no comeback AI, the comp just trys completely unrealistic and random plays and gets lucky sometimes, kinda like somebody online... it stll sucks though

Again, 3:54 upper right hand corner...defend that block as anything other than comeback AI or scripted game play.

Its just pure chance or luck that when a play needed to be made to stay in the game, a player motion shifts 5 yards to block the gunner twice to seal a lane and ensure a TD return?

Nothing random or unrealistic about a kick return. Lead Block is gone so you cant say "kinda like somebody online".

You cant have realism or "sim" when the programing does anything to keep games close.

the running animation on Cribbs kick return made me vomit a little

[RyanMoody21]

Are you talking about the motion shift block I put in the description?

3:54 Upper right hand corner, a Brown warps 5 yards to the left so he can bock a gunner for the second time and seal the edge.

EA didnt even add in the broadcast cam, pathetic.

[RyanMoody21]

No they did, it just wouldn't change mid game for some reason.

MADDEN is a sorry excuse of a sim video game....

[orangepan13]

That last play was terrible

[OrangeCrayon76]

Dude use the steelers man! They have a better QB and there runs and throws are better plus Rashad manedel is amazing so is Ben rothlesberger. Use STEELERS bro.

[Lar24man]

Let's not run for the 1st... all 2 yards of it. Let's waste time in the pocket like a lost dog. What complete shit.

[spartan83]

its retarded how Chris doesn't interrupt his statements when an interception happens live.

[Jeff18174]

J.Cribbs is a beast

[plaidchuck]

im just sayin man, they can barely make a game that resembles football, I really doubt they could program in comeback AI to boot.

You need actual working AI first before you make comeback AI, I'd think. I think the motion shift block just shows the blatant shitty collision detection, shitty animations, and shitty "physics" of the game more than anything.

But ya either way it blows. I just refuse to give em enough credit to program even comeback AI in the game

[DerekSutton]

I'm sorry that was cheap and pathetic compared to APF 2K8.

That motion shift block was Horrible!
