If you've been keeping up with all of the Blogs, Podcasts, and Interviews there really won't be a lot of new info here, but IMO it is still worth a listen.

Swami says that that have done a lot of tuning of super sim and you will see appropriate simulated rushing Yards for Lamar Jackson in Franchise.

He didn't really get to talk about it as much as I think he wanted to, but Clint seemed pretty excited about Star Driven AI, thinks that it is a nice step forward. He still says that All-Pro is best representation of Authentic AI,(I know that many here might agree with him, but I'm saying that for OS vets it's going to be All-Madden)

He says that tacking improvements are a highlight of the dev cycle is really excited about it(I agree that it is great), risk for using wrong tackles is really high now i.e. trying to hit stick Derrick Henry up high with a smaller player.

Recaptured a lot the animations in the blocking game, get engaged moves, blocking loops, shed moves, and non engaged moves, all will help create a much more dynamic forming pocket. Did a lot of work to Respect momentum(just like with tackling) so variation of engagements will be much greater and suction will be decreased, i.e. defenders won't turn into the blocker if engaged from an angle.

Really proud of the improvements in the screen game blocking. Linemen will chip the pass rusher first now before letting him get to the QB, linemen will have better speed and angles when getting out into space so that the don't get over/under leveraged as much, also if the D is in man coverage linemen can now block whoever is assigned to the RB so that he doesn't just blow the play up easily all the time.

Says that pass coverage is the basically the hardest to tune/balance every year, especially with the complex nature of coverage rules these days, building in error is very difficult. Say that User controlled defenders not playing their assignment will mess up the other AI defenders in pass coverage a lot.

Turning up the sideline is super improved on catching, more independent interaction between WR DB, Pass Trajectory has been tuned to allow for higher trajectories.

Clint will return in a couple of weeks to talk about Beta feedback tuning.

Come back next week for a “pretty big announcement”. Interested to see what this is about.

These podcasts have been fantastic. Enjoyed every one so far. Have to think next week’s big announce will be something scouting related. We shall see.

I say it every week, but these podcasts are awesome. Clint's notes about the screen game, oline play, pass depth, etc were sick. Just a great pod all around. Everyone should be listening to these.



Looking forward to what I'm assuming is the scouting podcast next week and glad to hear we're getting a pod in the future about beta feedback & fixes.

It would be nice to see the AI utilize their star players. Too many times over the years big time wide receivers that should be able to impact the game and be tough to stop barely get targeted and the CPU just force feeds their tight end. I can't remember the last time I was actually concerned about a star CPU player...
