I know what you mean. Watch the run at 5:05 of the first video. Looks like a user controlled run, even though it's a CPU team. I like seeing that.
Another thing, if you notice the sack at 2:49 of the 2nd video, the running back totally missed a block on the DT. I don't know if that is due to low awareness or poor positioning, or whatever, but I do know that in NCAA11, that DT would have been sucked into that block every single time.
