that's been one of my biggest issues as well, for the last few years. Players do not have any sense of self preservation. Ball carriers don't try to avoid would be tacklers. Defenders don't try to avoid blocks to get better position or they take themselves out of plays. This goes back to when the CPU RBs never used special moves.
It would be ok if this was Payton Manning, but it's Kap one of the league best QBs when it comes to making things happen with his feet, who should have the scramble trait.
the only x-factor is we don't what difficulty this is on and if the the game dials back it's aggression on lower difficulties.
