Will CPU "mass sub"?

[BDawg35]

It's darn near a game-killer in dynasty mode when you're trying to build a program and taking your early lumps to have the CPU keep playing like it's a 0-0 game when it is winning 42-7 late in a game. I like to use mass subs to get some guys some playing time. In real life, a team not coached by Steve Spurrier would mass sub in that situation, but in NCAA on current gen the CPU has not mass-subbed. It's frustrating as hell to watch the CPU pile up points with starters who wind up with 300 rushing yards, etc.

I know this isn't a sexy topic that EA will trumpet in a press release, and it may not be detectable in the short amount of time people reviewing the game have had to play it, but is there any indication this CPU logic will be fixed? Like I said, it's practically a game-killer for me as someone who plays almost exclusively in dynasty mode with lower-level teams.

yeah and then they get hurt and are out for the season. Makes no sense why they do not do this.

I tell you what, I wish I had the stick skillz to destroy players with the hit stick, because I'd make sure the CPU was taking its starters out in body bags!!! Alas, I am helpless with my weak stick skillz.

Ive never been down to the CPU 42-7 but i have been up 42-7 and put my subs in and the CPU never does.. When its in the 4th and your getting blown out why do they keep the starters in!!! It irks me to no end. Its not realistic

Although most, if not all of the Dynasty players here want this, we haven't really been as insistent as we could be about making sure that the development team know that this is a big deal. To me, this is more important than dreads, chain gangs, and a whole host of other things that are loudly lobbied for here.

I really hope so. Pretty much I don't care about the gimmicks and whistles, I just want a deep deep and as close to real as possible Dynasty. This would help.

Its interesting: I have super-simmed games where Im up big in the 3rd qtr, and the "sim" will sub in backups for my team (I notice this when I choose "sim the next play"). But, the cpu doesnt sub in for itself when its up big when Im playing against it. Seems odd....

Not sure if Im being clear

If it makes you feel any better I don't think it'd really make a difference, haha. I hit stick 90% of the time and barely injure anyone. Then again, maybe that's because it's damn near impossible to tell when a players injured because of the lack of notifications, but that's a whole other issue.
