Not saying I've seen the CPU go deep a lot, just the opposite, but I'm wondering just how much of this issue isn't due to our playcalling. I know for example that there's a lot of defensive plays (and offensive plays, for that matter) that I haven't really called in years because they never worked on, say, NCAA 99, 00, 01 & 02 - so I've ignored them ever since.

It's at least possible that part of the reason we're not seeing a lot of deep balls from the CPU is because we're subconsciously defending against it with every defensive play we call.

Just a thought.
That's a good thought, but I've been doing alot of cover ones, and man coverage with no safety help - still few if any passes go more than 20 yards in the air downfield.
