I'm afraid that EA's choice to not address the CPU clock management, special teams play (especially punting), field possession management....is going to ruin offline franchise for me like it typically does.

I just find my games ruined when I stop the CPU at midfield and they shank a 10 yard punt instead of pinning me deep. It's so understated how devastating this is to the game IMO and sure enough in the demo the CPU can't punt very well and as you mention is poor with the clock.
