Talking real world here, in professional sports especially, mistakes/errors are 99% of the time the difference in the game, just look at last night's Eagles/Saints game, a Riley Cooper dropped pass and a bad cary Williams penalty on the final kickoff are ultimately what cost the Eagles the game, its harsh but its reality, one mistake is all it takes sometimes. Cheating would mean that the CPU was breaking rules to beat you, does that happen? I've never seen it. Do they defy physics in a way that you cannot? Haven't seen that either. Are there momentum swings that work for or against you depending on form? Yes there are, but at the end of the season the benefits/consequences usually cancel each other out. Here's a perfect example, I play on Legendary, I'm level on points with 3rd place Napoli, and ahead of 5th place inter by 3 points. In round 35 I'm at home against 2nd place Milan(on a 6 game win streak), and Napoli and Inter are playing one another. If the CPU was cheating, I would have lost and Napoli would have won, all but knocking me out of Champions league next season. What happened? I won 2-0, the second goal coming on a MISTAKE by the CPU, here it is:

I agree, mistakes account for much of the difference. I respect your perspective, but still stand by my original opinion. We will see less cheating on PS4/XBOne because of more cores = more processing = more AI, but the EA devs are getting better at cheating, also. Take for instance, all the times I get scored on simply because the script that controls which player I will control fails to give me the most obvious player needed to save the play. This is no accident, I assure you. Even when using the right stick to manually select a player, its near impossible to get the player you need all the time. When you can cycle through 3/4 defenders 2-4 times and CAN NOT select the player most obvious to be in the best position to defend, that is cheating, especially when you have absolutely no problem changing to whom ever youd like to while defending in midfield. As a programmer, I commend them on finding a creative way to level the odds.
Cheating comes in many forms, it does not necessarily mean the AI is breaking the rules, rather at times preventing you from even carrying out your task properly. Thank fully, I see far les of this on PS4.
