That's been an issue with this series for three years now. Given there are no real sliders in the game, the only fix is to lower all CPU players' Aggressiveness ratings into the 50's, then lower selective players' Speed, Agility and Shot Accuracy ratings. I understand that's too much work for everyone, but I'm saying that's how badly programmed this game is. And unless you're willing to do that, the game is drink-coaster material.
I've edited a few teams now, and was able to switch from playing on Pro to playing on Superstar. I'm actually pretty happy with the games I'm getting now. The CPU cheating has basically disappeared. And I get good games with decent CPU defensive play, lots of hitting, plus CPU penalties (something you don't see on Pro).
