This game is too scripted.

I'm 11-0 with Michigan in my first year and have won seven games by 7 points or less and have come from behind three times in the 4th quarter to win. Almost every game has been close and great. I actually feel extremely fortunate to be undefeated (opposite to Canes situation), especially since Nebraska's horrible, horrible game management gave me a win early in the year.

Canes21, while I understand your frustration I don't think you should complain about the poor passes. You have user QB accuracy at 20 which leads to a lot of those.

Honestly, this is a topic that has been rehashed over and over and over again. There are people who think the AI cheats and people who don't. I've never felt the CPU cheated me out of a game. What else do you want people to say? They are giving their opinions and experiences.

Exactly. I wonder if the cpu feels cheated when I come from behind to win, or when Im having one of those games where everything just goes my way..

Had enough instances where that was obviously apparent, like when I was winning 34-7 one time with four minutes left and almost lost. Uconn apparently runs the worlds best no huddle offense and onside unit. Two onside kick recoveries, the most efficient no huddle offense known to man that was trash in the first 3.5 /4ths of the game, and being impervious to fatigue really pissed me off. Still won 34-28 though...

I don't believe in comeback code. I just think the opponent gets more aggressive...I do the same thing when I am down and have had success making comebacks.

Teams in real life step up when they're down too. Teams down 14-0 early IRL very often score on their next drive simply because they turn it up a notch.

Just my 2 cents

Yeah but when you do it, it's all good huh?

Hey, we made it until the first of August until the "Scripted", and "Comeback A.I. threads appeared. Thats probably a record.

I don't get a sense of games being scripted, but I do experience well-timed penalties and/or fumbles. I break a 40+ yard run for a TD... holding penalty. My QB is hit and fumbles, the ball is recovered by a HB, who is hit and fumbles, but this time the ball is picked up by a LB, who has a clear path to a 70+ yard TD jaunt. These types of plays seem to happen when the CPU needs them the most. I'll leave it at that.

I have rarely, if ever seen that happen. Sounds like you're just not very good on defense in the clutch, lol.

I think people are taking his words out of context. He means it's scripted as in, every time the CPU is down...late in that 4th quarter they get instant offense.

It happens in every game, I was watching my brother player Air Force in his OU dynasty...he was up 40-something to 17 when I walked in, 2:23 to go in the 4th.

They drive down using a crisp passing attack (Air Force runs 90% of the time, so their passing game isn't exactly fearsome) to score. On the kickoff, bam, they get the onside. In two plays their running back breaks 4 tackles for a 30 yard run, then they throw a quick strike to score again. Just like that the CPU narrowed the gap after having NO offense in the first 3 quarters of the game.

If you deny the notion of a comeback code or whatever, you're just in denial. It's not a mere coincidence that in every game the CPU gets this sudden, random, undeserved burst of ridiculously efficient offense added with great luck to get the onside kicks.

It wouldn't be so bad if the CPU didn't get these "boosts" after such a poor 3.5/4ths of the game. Every time, in the 4th, the CPU does this. They don't always win, but it skews stats and makes the game seem closer than it actually was.
