I think that is going to be a trait issue that will hopefully be patch. For example I'm playing Stafford right now and he's already taken 3 deep shots in the first half and taken sacks instead of checking down. He's 5 for 9 for 72. 32 yards came from a deep shot contestee catch.
Unless heatseeker had an effect on that which I doubt. For those inquiring, with heat seeking on there is an obvious difference. My players are missles and Riddick has 16 yards on 8 carries with a long of 8. Yeah. Hard to say if it helped to CPU as much. Gurley still broke a 48 yard run because safeties crashed inside and run bounced outside. It was the 9th play of a drive that started at my 2 yard line. It will definitely make your defense much more intense it seems for better or worse. I'll be interested to see how the btks happen later in games or vs better backs.
