If that's the case, then why are other sports games trying to be as realistic as possible. I'm sorry, this tired argument (that they'll lose sales if they increase the realism of the game) doesn't hold any water.

Your friends hated it because they sucked at it, and you were probably handing their a**es to them. People don't usually enjoy that,but it changes with a little practice.

Thank you, it's the opposite in every other sports title. Imagine if ( in 2k11) you could hit three pointers from an unrealistic distance behind the arc, or in MLB The Show, you could throw people out at home plate (without a cut off man) from deep in the outfield. People would be livid, but with Madden, since there's no... oh forget it. Why beat a dead horse ?
