Might be cheese but.....

I"ve taken to frequently calling a run and audibling to a pass or vice versa. The cpu seems to cheat too often and knows what i'm going to do ahead of team. For example: I have a 3rd and 15. Poor QB so I want to run just to gain some yards for my punter and let my D hole 'em. The cpu comes out in a 4-3! On 3rd and 15????? Obviously it knows my call. So I"ve started to audible to counteract this. Anyone else experience this?

If you notice when the CPU calls an offensive play, it tells you the personel (2WR, 2RB, 2TE, etc) I believe they get the same thing.

Now even if the CPU is allowed to know what you called, I don't think audibling will fix that.

I wouldn't say it cheesing calling a pass then audibling to a run. But there's a few bug plays where you can aubible from a run to a pass(Strong Close) where it leaves your WRs wide open about 60 percent of the time which results into a quick TD. Thats about the only one I can think of. That don't happen on other formations from what I know. I never audible to a pass from a run anyway I usually just flip the play over or adjust my O-line blocking but one of my friends use to try and exploit this so we had that audible banned from our offline franchise.

Not entirely true they know the personnel, but even if you call Gun Spread (4WR, 1 HB) and you call a HB Draw, or any run, the CPU still picks a base defense like 4-3/3-4. It's been an issue for a while. Now even if the CPU is allowed to know what you called, I don't think audibling will fix that. Now picking the same Gun Spread but a pass, you WILL see nickel or dime vs a base defense thus audibling down to a run is a realistic counter to this issue.

To the OP this tactic vs the CPU isn't cheese, it's a necessity.

sure, the CPU might choose 4-3 D because then can also see how you're in a 2WR 2RB 1TE formation.

however, the CPU definitely calls more run stopping Ds if you picked a run play, and pass coverage Ds when you are throwing it. not always, but I agree with the OP -- it's quite noticeable.

If the CPU picks it's play based on your specific playcall that is the cheese.
