I have played a bunch of these guys and it does get annoying. Most of them get used to running the three plays they researched online at some Prima site. Unfortunately, they must be successful a lot of the time or else they would stop using the same damn plays and learn some new ****.

My favorite this week was a rocket catcher that tried to throw to Randy Moss on every single play. I was playing with San Diego and doubled moss with a 3-3-5 blitz package and he accused me of cheating after only two picks and dropped out of the game.

I'm in no way a completely unpredictable player. I just run my offense with a couple of concepts (slants, mesh, double move routes, and pitch runs). My defense is pretty predictable... if you are trying to abuse flats or run I go with a 4-4, otherwise I run the 3-3-5 or Dollar.

The biggest problem I see with most beginners is their inability to control their secondary or WRs in space. The game does a terrible job explaining what the R-stick does.
