I dunno if this is just a CPU v CPU thing or not, but I find that while controlling my team the CPU runs the ball an inordinately high amount of the time (which I don’t mind at all). For most teams I face (using their default playbooks) they run on 1st down the vast majority of the time (even air raid teams) and run on 2nd and medium or shorter the vast majority and still run quite often on 2nd and long. Then on 3rd and medium+ they finally pass.
But, usually in the 2nd half they switch things up and pass more often, while still keeping about a 50/50 split.
