All that is nonsense if its against CPU players. Really those charts are fairly irrelevant anyhow, but when CPUs come into play, its all over the place. It really signifies nothing. On the other hand something is really off about your depth chart. Are you using a custom depth chart for each individual game?



I have our depth charts set up. They are custom not auto defaulted. I realize we have a few lower level players but since we were able to add league appropriate level guys they are mainly st players.
I know our o-line is weak too but I'm just trying to gauge how effective cpu guys are vs human owned. We lost to a pretty bad mainly cpu team so I was wondering.
Thanks for the responses.

A couple of last things you need to know. CPU players are like a box of chocolates... ya never know what's in each one. And CPU managers don't always put the players in the right places and situations... which is why you could play the same CPU team twice, with the exact same setup and AI's, and get two completely different results. Also, some CPU teams once had human managers... with human OC's and DC's... that made their OAI's and DAI's for those teams then left them there when the team was abandoned so some CPU teams will be running CPU AI's and some will be running whatever Human AI was in place when it was abandoned... and some of those AI's are pretty good so you get a much tougher opponent.
Before you play against a CPU team, go look at them. Check their record... their box scores against opponents. If you see them play well against other Human owned teams, then you really need to approach them as if they were Human owned. Scout them. Check their defense and offense plays (watch replays) and plan against them just as if they were an owned team. You'll find complaints all throughout the forums about "overpowered CPU teams" and those that have taken them for granted and lost games because of that. Never assume... be sure and check ALL your opponents out. CPU and Human.
