Are Sports Games Too Hard? Are They Not Realistic Enough? Is There an Answer? (Roundtable)

I agree CaselH.

I pretty much only play offline Franchise modes and have not been impressed with most of them lately besides MyLeague in NBA 2K.
And why on harder levels does it feel like you are being cheated. I don't mind losing, but I hate where it is cheating to beat me. Have them play smarter, not become super human, be able to go thru you unrealistically to get the ball, or make my players idiots and forget to guard anyone. 

They need more tutorials in games to help with controls to become better. I don't get the games every year and a lot of times it is hard to figure out how to do half the stuff that is possible.

I don't mean to pick on Madden, but they never been able to address this. In Madden, "difficult" is pretty much cheating. The AI guesses your play half the time and on the other half, your team cannot block, cannot tackle, cannot catch. 
The players should not play dumb as a means to make the game "difficult." The level of strategy needed should make that determination. In an "easy" setting, the AI should do dumb things like call a hail mary on 4th and goal; punt on 3rd down, and stuff like that.

I'm on a Madden strike. I just feel like physical attributes are just way off. Some players are faster and stronger than they should be.
