The MAIN point of this feature is that it HELPS GAMEPLAY....The CPU will actually play like an actual NFL team now....CPU playcalling was terrible last year and it was a top 5 problem in Madden 10...
We as the user DO NOT have to use it but Its there as an option...
Now I could be wrong...But it only makes sense...
Are you skeptical about people using it online? what are your beefs with it?
ask yourself this...
Would you rather play against a kid who's running nothing but fly patterns against you online, or would you rather have a NFL game played against you online???
I dont see a negative about this "feature"
