How to get CPU to stop throwing out of bounds when pressured?

Are not QBs supposed to throw it away when under pressure? Previous years, the big problem is that they took sacks instead of throwing it away. Now they are not supposed to throw it away?

It's not that they're throwing it away, they're throwing it away from within the pocket. The second you beat your defender they launch it to the sideline from within the pocket

why does this work?

It opens up the cpu to actually calling more than just a set number of 15-20 different plays... you will see the cpu start to run a more realistic offense, which in turn may help with them throwing the ball away so much.

I have no issues with how often the cpu throws the ball away torwards the sideline. NFL QB's all do this several times a game just as they do in madden.

I don't see it as a huge issue either; for like five years the issue was CPU QBs going 34-for-38 with two dropped passes and two INTs. Now I can actually see some 19-for-31 games thanks in large part to this "issue."

It's clearly a "win" for your defense when this happens. Are guys being greedy and wanting a sack instead, or do they want the CPU to complete a pass? Can't have all things all the time.
