Yeah I am really not sure how you could attempt to justify that kind of performance from the CPU QB's..

Hopefully it's a demo only issue and we won't see it in final release.

In order for the amount of INTs thrown by the computer to be reasonable, they'd have to be high schoolers playing in a pro league.

I pray to god not. I wish they would release a vid showing just gameplay from the final build so I could judge. Another thing I wished we could do, now that I am thinking about it is CPU vs. CPU.

It's worrisome to me. But we'll see, there's a reason I don't put all my stock in demo's. There have been plenty of games like this where the demo had some issues that really could have hampered the game, and then final release comes out and it's all good.

This issue is concerning and something to keep an eye on, but should be tempered with the fact it is just a demo.

Even though some of his posts are, in a way, negative, he ALWAYS has the facts to back it up. I might disagree with the guy sometimes, but he knows what he's talking about.
On another note, I've played a good 8 or 9 games and seen the CPU throw only 2 picks in that time span. It seems to happen in bunches, there are either no interceptions or they all come in back to back plays.
I still love the demo, there are just some issues holding it back from being great. I have to tell myself it's just a demo and that perhaps the final game will have all the kinks worked out.

If it really is the game there are still things we can do about it.

1) Form- Handicapping system which is set to normal (if there is any effect in the demo).

2) Customization- Setting a cap on the ratings of the QB

3) Patches

I really believe some of the wonkiness maybe due to 2 minute quarters. Particularly in the 2nd quarter.

Yup I agree. Usually people around here figure out workarounds to issues like these.

I guess I just want it to play a good game of football out of the box.
