Does the CPU ever handoff on RPOs?

[PhillyFan22]

I have yet to see the CPU handoff on a RPO play they call. Has anyone else seen them handoff?

In a word: yes, I have seen the CPU hand the ball off on an RPO.

I'm gonna guess you play a fair amount of Cover 3 / Cover 4 without pressing? In my experience the CPU basically auto-throws the RPO if you don't align very closely with the RPO receiver pre-snap and post-snap (i.e. you align press-man presnap and have a press-man play called).

To be fair, that’s how I handle it on the offensive end of the ball too. If it’s zone no press it’s enough space to make something happen.

This is exactly what I was curious about. I really haven't seen the RPOs called a ton but they all have been throws. I do play a decent amount off off coverages but didn't know if anyone saw where it was 50/50 and the CPU hands off over throwing against off coverage.

It’s one of my biggest gripes. I play a lot of press man and the AI still elects to pass on seemingly all RPOs.

Worst experience thus far has been in an overtime game. AI needs a Fg to win and are at my 30 yard line. Playing press man and the QB elects to throw the smoke screen. It’s a pick six and I win the game.

I’m guessing because I favor cover 1 so the eight men in the box deter them from running?
