Just some very elementary simple stuff that alot of human opponents online are clueless.

I love it when someone comes at me in a nickel are 4-3 when I have 4 plus receivers.I find that the best way to beat this is to use playaction to even get there uncoverd player even more open.

A lot of passing is just timing - time the cuts in the routes. Try to find the WR dragging across even with a LB, he will be able to get a step or two. When he does hit him.
Take it into practice with no D, just your O. Take your time and run all of the routes with all receivers to get a feel for their speed. Also if you have a tall WR, throw it higher (I play with ND, nice tall WRs).
Read the d, find a double team and try to stay away from it. Almost every play someone will be open, you just have to find him. I usually lock my eyes in on 1 guy at the snap, if he is blanketed I start looking elsewhere. Roll one way to get more time, usually your receivers will move towards you and try to get open. Don't force it - throw it away to play another down. Also look at your replays, you probably will find guys open on most plays, esp in the college game.
