Yes it seems no matter the competition the DL or LBs are in the backfield almost immediately which I assume is a product of CPU run defense at 100 but I think in coach mode that will have to be lowered to even things out a bit.
In coach mode it'd be ideal for the user and CPU sliders to be pretty close to each other because it's basically just CPU vs CPU but with the user calling plays and making presnap adjustments.
