Yes, and it was like this last year too. Yet another classic oversight.

The other side of it, too, is that when you have a big lead and are trying to run out the clock, that doesn't stop the CPU from bringing the house every play on defense. Where's my incentive not to exploit their aggressiveness? But if I do, you know, I'm a poor sport.

Might be a little tricky to pinpoint when it should happen, but at some point the CPU, on both offense and defense, should go into vanilla mode: 90% runs, 90% 4-man rush packages, Conservative Gameplan, etc. Currently they don't go into this mode until there's like 2 minutes to go, and when you play 10-minute quarters like I do, that's entirely too late.

Of course all of this points to the fact that the CPU seems fairly unaware of game-circumstance in general, hence passing with a huge lead, throwing interceptions with a huge deficit, hardly ever making an effort to end the game once it's been decided, and so on.
