Did you ever felt cheated playing an EA sports game? Played like 3 games in Fifa and won them easily and suddenly in the next game your players can't make a 5 meters pass, feel like running on mud and your goalie can't stop even a Giroud shot? Well, many people (including me) knows that feeling.
For years a big part of Fifa community complains about this kind of scripting in EA sports games, even in online matches. But for years EA simply deny any talk about the subject, closing forums threads about it and banning users from their official forums every time someone insisted calling them about scripting.
Well, in 2016 EA decide to patent their scripting system, calling it "Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment" (of course it would have a very fancy name). The patent is in a very specific technical language but it basically shows how it´s made the adjust the difficulty so the player keeps playing the most time possible. And it makes it by checking the player playtime and making adjusts to the AI so a game will be easier or hard. So the feeling that so many people had for years that in some matches the game CLEARLY interferes in our team or in the AI team or in the online opposite team is absolutely true.
I am posting the abstract of the patent and the link if anyone is interested in reading it.
PS: Don´t know if it's forbidden to post the link of the patent and if it is i will edit it later.
