I've played 6 games in my HB/SS's high school career, and while the playcalling is improved over last year, there are still some glaring "WTF is the coach smoking?" calls.

The biggest one I've seen is the CPU calling punts on FIRST DOWN near the end of the 2nd quarter. I was in a close game (14-7 my team, 1:12 left in the 2nd quarter) and we had driven down into the other team's territory and the CPU called a punt on 1st down. I called a timeout and it called a passing play, then a punt on 2nd down. Timeout, passing play, 1st down punt from the 10 yard line with 38 seconds on the clock.

Let me reiterate that... during a drive inside the opponent's 30 yard line, with the score 14-7 and plenty of time on the clock, the CPU called THREE punts on 1st or 2nd down.

The other complaints are less severe, things like a Dime formation Cover 4 call when the offense comes out in Goalline formation on 3rd and inches (a horrendous call, but not as bad as a 1st down punt from your opponent's 10 yard line), and 3 passing plays in a row on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th down with 1-2 yards to go and me being a big, bruising HB.
