CPU Running Game
 

I've been trying to figure out how to fix the CPU running backs and quarterbacks since the game came out. I'm sure everyone has seen them juke or spin behind the line of scrimmage even when there isn't a defender within 5-10 yards of them and they end up losing yardage instead of hitting the hole and speeding through.

I've found a somewhat temporary fix for it until the patch (when I hope it gets fixed but I'm not holding my breath).

If you go into the rosters and edit the CPU's RB, FB, and QB's juke and spin move ratings to 0 this seems to solve the problem. The CPU can still break tackles and do the moves, they just wont perform them without being hit. Unfortunately this will not work for dynasty because you cannot edit the players.

Re: CPU Running Game
 

The other problem which will hopefully be fixed via patch #2 is the CPU passes WAY TOO MUCH and they run WAY TOO LITTLE

Bama doesn't pass 40 times a game and run only 10.

Re: CPU Running Game
 

Adjust that in coach strategy. Can't do it for qick game, but in dynasty if you adjust run/pass by 10 towards the run for any team that runs WC or Spread offense and by 5 for all others, you'll see more running.

Adjust them using the sticky at the top of the page, seems to really help out a lot.
