New blog today from Ian Cummings...

http://insideblog.easports.com/archive/2009/04/10/adaptive-ai-in-madden-nfl-10.aspx

sounds good, im loving what there doing for madden 2010!!

sounds really cool!

I hope I can actually lose some games in franchise if I play with a rebuilding team, I like what theyre doing too, hopefully theyll live up to it.

I'm not impress until we hear more about the franchise mode and other mode, so far some of the things they say sounds impressive but when you get the game, you still are complaining about how boring the game gets, and all that hype they do every year only pisses you off more, so we will see

I see they're taking a page out of the NHL 09 book, which is nice.

I would like to see some sliders this year, though. I mean, at least in NHL 09 there was a slider that you could set for the Adaptive AI

Madden producers Ian Cummings and Phil Frazier will visit the EA SPORTS Live radio show to talk about the new blog and their approach to interacting with the community this year.

At 3:00 p.m. eastern listen to EA SPORTS Live here: http://den-a.plr.liquidcompass.net/standard_plr/audio_player.php?id=EASPORTSIO&playerType=silverlight

The new Adaptive AI feature might actually help to separate people who have actual knowledge about football if they incorporate this feature correctly. It would be awesome if the term "money play" was demolished from this feature!

Totally agree. Every sports game seems to have some kind of money play. It's nice that Ian is trying to make you have to go through the thought process of how to engineer a drive. A coach has to process down and distance and his coordinators have to track what the opposing coaching staff is calling in response. If implemented properly, I can see this battle of the minds playing out pretty well with the new system. Another nice addition.

Yes I like this, even though money plays ahve been around since Tecmo Bowl no way the 4 play a game guys should be able to get positive yards when you know it's coming and you have the D set up to stop it but somehow the the cpu players didn't react like the same route and formation as not been ran 10 times already. This new staff is great I hope it all comes together into a great NFL simulation.

"Cough BS "Cough" People does this sound familiar from last year madden09. "Cough" Madden IQ Test "Cough". Madden IQ test was a bust last year. They may not put madden IQ test back in madden 10. But they are using the same settings from the test. Madden IQ test allow the computer/AI to adjust to your gameplay during the game and adjust and turn the linebackers and cornerbacks into superman to INT you passes on a regular bases. Ian I think ya'll are doing a good job on the game so far. But if you are going to use this same concept of AI that was used in madden 09 with madden IQ test. You better make it were we ain't getting pic off every offensive drive. I would understand the AI knocking the ball down more. But alot of INT by the AI is not real football. So please why ya'll are testing all of it. Make sure the AI ain't taking advangte of the upgraded boost for figuring out where the ball is going. It's already hard enough knowing the AI already knows every play and route in the game already because its preprogramed into the game already. I don't mind the new upgrade and not having be able to score 100 points in a game. That has kind of got boring over the years. But I weather score the 100 points per games if that means the AI ain't been superman on defense and INT me everytime I get on offense. So I hope ya'll do a good job on that. Because madden IQ test last year failed and most people hated as did I.

BRILLIANT!

i dont usually go to such hyperbole, but this is the ANTIDOTE to cheesy playas who only run like 3 or 4 plays a game. I LOVE IT!

I guess I never really saw that much of a problem passing the ball in Madden 09. I liked the fact that it forced you to run the ball to set up the pass.

My main problem with 09 was the fact that any CPU controlled QB in the league would play like Joe Montana.

Well anytime I played madden I wold play the run then throw and for sum unexplained reason out nowhere the QI linebacker are CB would pop out f nowhere and INT me for no reason. I know it had to do with the madden IQ test. But so long as Ian and them making sure the AI knocks the ball away alot more then INT it then I would be happy.

what are you talking about??? this is to stop cheesers who use money plays all games. This is completely different from IQ, IQ was to test how good you were during the madden test and would set a difficulty rating depending on how good you did on the test. This adaptive AI makes the AI addapt to what your opponent is doing for example if i keep using drag routes with a deep post all of a sudden my defense is gonna get super awareness ratings because now they know what you run and your gonna begin to throw interceptions. Before you decide to open your mouth know what your talking about first. Ian keep up the good work this is MUCH needed in madden ive been waiting for this for YEARSSSSS
