    Advanced vs Hardcore Playcalling

    I didnt see this started yet but if it has my apologies. Just wanted to throw out that I was extremely frustrated at first playing this game offline. Every game there was a ridiculous number of blitzes by the cpu. Especially all-out blitzes.

    I read in another thread somebody changing to hardcore and it being better so i tried that. I'm amazed. Seriously, the cpu plays ALOT different. The playcalling is better and the blitzing is toned down to appropriate levels.

    I have no idea why this is the case but if you haven't tried it please do.

      I promise you it makes a difference for the CPU. Just try it.

      It doesn't change anything for the user except you lose like auto-replays and the feature where Chris Collinsworth breaks down what you did wrong supposedly.

      I really don't care much about that and am happy to give those up for the CPU to have better playcalling.

        does it remove the ability to call plays by type or something? Whats the point otherwise?

            User can call plays just like on advanced. Im just saying i was being blitzed so much i had defaulted to running slants and screens mostly and torching the cpu. It wasn't any fun though.

            Once i switched to hardcore the cpu playcalling was completely different. It's been much more fun this way.

              On the surface, I know it takes away rewinds, backtrack, and replays. I believe that's the only "official" difference between the two.

                I'll try this later. REally hope its real , and not the placebo effect.

                  lol so hardcore is removing replays? I hope it actually does something for the CPU playcalling, otherwise its pointless.....

                  Theres like 2 freakin autoreplays a game anyway =(

                    I had tried hardcore before and noticed there was no difference in user playcalling, I was like whats the difference?! I'll try it again and watch the CPU this time...I too hate the CPU blitzing

                    but I hope I can still turn rewind on, the presentation is SOOOOOO much better with rewind turned on. props to whoever posted that, because it makes the offline game so much more enjoyable.

                    one question - what is backtrack and what does it do? I have it enabled, but have no idea what this feature is...

                        Why do people cry about CPU blitzing too much?? Are you not able to beat the blitz?

                          no, opposite reason. They feel it makes it too easy.

                            the CPU blitzing constantly makes the game easy as hell....The RB/TE is ALWAYS WIDE OPEN and the WR slants and drags make the AI laughable.
