A.I. Buster Notice- The QB Rollout and Run

Defensive A.I. is busted as QB takes off running

A sample legal version of the play design

Ruling:

Q14. QB Rollout: on rollout plays when the QB is at the end of his movement path- at least two WR's still have to be looking for the pass. This is to prevent the A.I. to break down and have the QB take off running without being recognised by the Defense

Comments:

"The reason the QB takes off and runs unlike any other play is because at the time the QB is looking for WRs and is at the end of his movement only one WR is actually looking for the pass. When there is only one WR looking for a pass at that the time the QB takes off 95% of the time.
I experimented with defenses that confirmed my findings. I designed a dplay with only 3 con rushers, 5 m2m and 3 super deep zone guys. When you change the logic of the second WR to look for pass before the QB gets to the end of his movement all of the sudden the QB doesn't take off.
In my opinion the only time a QB should take off on a rollout is when there is a defender coming at him." - Alex K.

"This QB Rollout  play compromises the games AI. It's the same reason you can't have check receiver logic when your RB or QB has a designed run play. The defense doesn't recognize it as a run play. Once he passes the LOS with check receiver logic it's the same as any run play where the ball carrier has check receiver logic. He's 15 yds downfield before the defense recognizes it. I have a guy in a spot zone, with if run pursuit is aggressive logic, and he just stands there watching the qb go by. The only way I know to prevent this is to limit the distance the qb can roll and not allow any move toward the LOS after he rolls out of the box. The further the qb rolls the more likely he is to run rather than pass." - Dave C.

" Any pass play in which the “passer” leaves the box: On any type of rollout, while in the portion of the play editor in which logic is assigned, the “move to” logic of the passer can not extend beyond the inner edge of the numbers." - Tone W.
