- Lots and lots of injuries. Not sure if this is to simulate small dings, but half my roster is hurt with something after one preseason game. Felt like every other play someone got hurt.
Most of the pre-season injuries are just that, small dings. If your player is probable then it's a small ding. The injuries taper off dramatically once the players get up to game conditioning.

- QB seems to throw to the covered man and ignore wide open receivers.
The logic for who the QB throws to is something like this: At the beginning of the play, the WRs are ordered based on their pattern depth vs. the pass type (short/medium/long) and then the QB works through his progression as they complete their routes. Who he decides to throw to at that point is determined by whether he sees another open player in his field of view, and whether that open player is in the same range (short/medium/long) as the play call, as well as how covered he is. So there will be times that a player looks open, but the QB won't throw to him because he's too far away from the play's intended range and the covered WR isn't covered enough to cause the QB to throw to the open one, or just plain doesn't see him because his field of view doesn't allow him to see him.

- QB doesn't want to scramble. They move outside the pocket a lot, but won't then rush for yardage. I'll look for a gameplan setting.
I've noticed this as well lately, I'm wondering if something I did to tone this down might have turned it too far down (it used to be way too frequent)

- Running seems overly difficult, but again I'll check through the gameplan.
In general, the average YPC should fall somewhere in the 2-3 yard range. A lot of this has to do with your run blocking vs. the defense's run defense.

- Player covering a running back in the backfield charges into the backfield, then turns around once the RB is behind him and tries to catch up. Several times I thought this was a blitzer, if he'd just continued he'd have had the QB in 2 steps or so. If he's really covering the RB, he needs to hang back a bit more.
This is a bug that I'm not sure when it got introduced, but I've noticed it as of late as well. You are correct in that the covering player is supposed to stay back and wait for the RB, so I need to investigate why this is happening.
