CPU Clock Management

[kpeercy]

Playing as the Bengals in CFM on All Pro, I had a 1 point lead at the Ravens. They drove down the field and had the ball inside the 15 with 25 seconds, a running clock and a timeout left. They ran a play, got tackled in bounds and then proceeded to huddle. The clock ran out while coming to the line for the next play, so they lost by 1 inside the 10 with a timeout left only needing a 26 yard FG to win.

Yeah the CPU AI does some dumb things. In one of my games I was trailing by 4 and had no timeouts left. Instead of running out the clock they were passing the ball. I ended up losing anyway, but all they had to do was kneel and the clock would of expired.

Saw something similar in a CFM. I was the Cardinals, leading 26-23 on the road. The Falcons are driving to win or tie it with one timeout left. They complete a pass inside my 10 with :15 seconds left.....they huddle and let the clock run out.
