Actually, what I do personally is I use 2 controllers(2 diff profiles...I have the sliders set the exact same on both profiles). I do this because I use created playbooks I made that took the streaks and go routes out of the game. I do it because when you just put the controllers in the middle, and change the playbooks I'm not sure if it works.
I choose teams and once the coin toss is done I go in and deselect and the CPU plays itself from there.
