Fix the pursuit angles EA

I don't know how many times i have a guy lined up for a tackle for a loss and the fucking cpu decides to just bail on the play or run the wrong way into a blocker. Infuriating

That and the random times your 95 speed user (who your specifically trying to play it safe and immediately read the play right and start bailing to protect the outside) suddenly turns into an 86 spd and gets outrun to the corner turning what probably should have been a loss or no gain into a 50 yard td. Lol

Also especially love when your running literally within arms reach of w guy down the sideline and your guy just wont animate to tackle him so you eventually get frustrated at the controller not letting you move the remaining inch needed to the left so you press dive and either even THAT doesnt react at all to your input OR your guy dives the complete opposite direction away from the ball carrier. Lol

The game is set up to where your opponent is always in it. This game is fucking horrendous

Thats true too. Ive even noticed it at times because it seemed to benefit me. I tent to quit sooner than later when I feel its unlikely ill win (and if theres just nothing to be gained, like now, ive maxed the pass etc no objectives to work toward etc) sometimes very early, especially if ive been playing awhile already.

But sometimes for whatever reason I dont, and ill be like, half even paying attention, spacing out multitasking, next thing you know im like, wait, why is this game even this close (ive gone from down like 21-3 and getting dominated to tied and everything is going my way for no apparent reason) 

Its just another way this game feels scripted and lazy and mailed in.

I'm leaning towards selling everything and taking a break until season 4. Should have around 5-6 million coins if i do. Might try to win one more superbowl and then just mess around in draft champs or just play CoD until season 4

It's not that. Go play Solo Battles on Legend difficulty if you wanna see how a defense can absolutely play pursuit angles and with insane intelligence on plays. Like guy said above, the game is coded to stay close.
