- QB checkdown speed/vision increased after completing his drop back. This has a knock-on effect of making shotgun plays better for quicker hitting passes (since the drop back is basically immediate)
- Pass plays defined as "short" yardage have slightly faster checkdowns and the QB will be more willing to pass earlier

- Fixed issue where CPU teams would end up with too many of a position and be unable to sign positions they needed (like missing a QB or K, etc)
- CPU teams will now use randomized playbooks, each set at the beginning of the season, to give them more variety in playcalling
