It seems that the CPU likes to run this play often just like last year, unfortunately it results in a sack for me 95% of the time . This play alone is making the CPU less of challange is some games. I have had a couple of games that should have been close turn into blowouts simply because of getting sacks on screens to kill CPU drives.

This was an area the CPU struggled in last year as well. I would note this seems to be a problem regardless of difficulty level as I have seen it on Varsity, All-American and Heisman.

I've noticed that the CPU screen seems to work a bit better on Varisty. Could be wrong, though.

The problem, in my opinion, is that there's no way for the QB to throw the ball at the receiver's feet or whatever when the defense diagnoses the play.

^^^Unfortunately I just finished a game on Varsity not too long ago using sliders similar to Playmakers and the problem was just as bad. I sacked FSU 4 or 5 times on hb slip screens, 3 of those essentially killed drives. I won as Florida 27-9 despite the yards being almost identical for each team mainly due to this issue. Should have been a closer game. FSU was actually gashing me pretty well with the run and then here would come the hb screen to kill their drives.

I 100 % agree with your second point.

Certain screens the CPU QB simply holds thhe ball too long. On the other hand, those same plays the human has to sprint button in his drop or he gets sacked too. Some of the screens just aren't programmed correctly.

I see this way too much too. It really does kill drives.

I use Philly's Heisman Sliders and don't see it killing drives, although it's not the most effective because I most run Man.

Nobody else has a problem with the cpu getting sacked too much on screens?

Screens are about the only way I can get sacks. If not for that I'd be in the single digits.
