Wouldn't that be nice if during a dynasty the computer would recognize its the 2nd string QB out there and not penalize you! Now this is EA so a little thing like that I would rather not have because it would take away the chance at another more important innovation.

It'd be nice if you didn't get penalized in sure fire passing downs, if I'm up by 21, and I'm on 3rd and Long, let me attempt a pass, at least have a mechanic where the CPU can register if I'm doing a hail mary pass versus a little dump off.

True. They would just mess up something else

I think the AI of this unsportmanlike isn't very good. How do you turn it off? Can you?

[Card-me]

You guys are some of the most unsportsmanlike jerks I've ever seen. Why would you be passing the ball in the 3rd quarter with your backup offense up by 21? Who cares if it's 3rd and 7 and you're trying to get your rookie QB some stats to increase his progression for the next season? Real teams don't do this. Real teams up by 3 scores in the 2nd half run halfback dives three times in a row and punt every possession. You're supposed to throttle back if the other team can't stop you. That's sportsmanship. That's football.

Wait, where's the sarcasm tag?

i don't care. i can be up 40-3. im still gonna throw the ball and get -75 points everytime i throw it. i don't care

Someone a while back said this: They try to see how many negative points they can get in the sportsmanlike category...makes it a whole other game inside the game you're playing. Haha!

Ok, this is ridiculous.

This is a horribly implemented/coded feature (if you can call it that), I can understand throwing it on 1st/2nd, but i just got a -75 sportsmanship for a Weak side HB toss!! Really?!
