What does this do for the CPU? Simply, it gives them more then same 20 plays to call each game. The game is programmed to call things best on what you select on defense/offense, so if you keep calling same defense/offense and they only have 20 plays to choose from, you get a repeat of the same things. With this setup they have up to 150 plays to choose from depending on the down and distance. Makes the CPU completely unpredictable with their playcalling and you can play the same team three straight times and get a different experience each game. I've yet to find someone actually try these and tell me they didn't notice a completely different game. IMO, this make a BIGGER impact then traits/sliders because it changes the way the CPU thinks in the most important part of football, the play calling!

Oh BTW, they're great for the user as well!
