Thank you. There are some good tips in there, things I had not picked up on and some observations that verify what I have seen as well.

I particularly like waiting for the HB to get into the flat on the Flanker dig route.

Though I agree with the other posts that unless I challenge myself to play "real" football, these passing routes can be used to exploit the AI (I only play offline). I attempt more downfield throws, knowing they are not automatic like the short crossing routes or HB in the flat routes. I will also run the ball often on first down, even though the AI seems to favor stopping the run on first down and passing on first down is easier than on 2nd or 3rd downs.

So, in essence, I handicap my play calling as some of the others are doing to get more realistic games against the CPU.
