skip kind of spoke to this, but I want to elaborate. This is a very good example of the difference between playing the CPU and playing the user. Up until Tuesday (I haven't tried since), I could call a comeback/curl route, let the receiver run it, and if I threw before the break, the CPU CB would be probably 2 or 3 yards downfield while my WR is catching the ball. Pretty much exactly how a curl is supposed to be thrown.

Against a HUM player, that CB is in front of your receiver before he even starts on his own break, and it's a pick. Every. time.

And just to make things more fun ... against the CPU, since the patch, apparently they can make the "sit in the pocket for 5 seconds, have my player sit in a curl route, have the DB in his hip pocket, and still throw the ball with no reaction from the DB" play. I hate that crap.
