That's a great sign. I've been wondering for awhile why CPU seems to have a free pass on throw aways to get them near a WR to avoid a penalty, but we don't have that option.

Too much of the gameplay is tethered together as it is. EA doesn’t know how to do things any other way. If the offense and defense would act independently of one another so many issues would be cleared up.

What about the CPU drafting a FB in the first round if u dont have one on the team, also seems to happen if draft board isnt set.

Zone coverage improvements were only for next gen???

The particular problem only existed on next gen. Trust me. The fixes to zone coverage probably bring next gen back in line with current gen. In other words it's not an improvement for only next gen. It's a fix for something broken that current gen didn't have broken. Make sense?

The CPU did the no penalty throw away on my first play post patch which is a bummer. Only saw it once in the game i played, but it's definitely still in the game.

Same, confirmed still in the game. Would be much less frustrating if the CPU would just get flagged for it like the User does.
