I'm convinced that RPM only works for user controlled players

I think this "new" animation system has negatively affected the cpu QB's and RB's especially. It seems like they are always making unnecessary pivots in backfield or open field resulting in lost yardage or lost opportunities. Yesterday I was playing against Baker Mayfield and he had a chance to run for an easy 1st down. He gets 5 yards past the LOS with no one around him and then he starts doing these crazy pivots which result in him basically running back towards the LOS and a lost chance at a 1st.

This is where you can see they just build on old code. Last year these were the little twitchy moves the AI used to get just out of your pursuit angle. Now it results in an exaggerated cut and now it recalculates again and does another cut since the logic has avoid defenders>get yards. I've seen the AI not get a first down or score on more plays than ever because instead of running straight past the marker or into the endzone, they "sense" a defender and hard cut 90 degrees, stop, and then get tackled short
