Sounds like some people need to get into the practice of coaching their defense. Make adjustments to the defense to match up against the offenses that you are facing...I know, it means not being lazy...
Fact is, you are the head coach, the assistants, the position coaches, etc...Thus you have to make all the adjustments...If real football players knew everything to do, like some Madden players believe they should, then there would be no need for football coaches..Madden represents the football coaching game by requiring the user to make adjustments as any coach would do.
Now then, Madden could maybe use universal coaching adjustments, that are set before each game as default adjustment basics, for example - I should be able to tell my DB's to shade inside, outside, over or under for the whole game, rather than each play, but still be able to make play by play adjustments that will reset to my base play adjustments..Or that I am gonna play my DL as a "spread" as my default DL adjustment for a game...
There can be improvements made to defense, obviously; just think people need to take the initiative in running their defense...The game of Madden gives you the basic Cover 2, Cover 3, Cover 4, 2 Man Under defenses - There are many variations to each coverage that are used by different coaches and different directions they give their players in running the defenses...

Hey i know what you mean with in-game adjustments and they are great and are necessary to having a solid pass defense, but beyond that you must be given a better base to begin with. The computer alignments are terrible and some of the (coverage)adjustments do no justice when they move certain players who don't need to be re-positioned.
Madden hasn't added any concepts to field alignment, never, they have continued align the corners and safety's the same way since i can remember playing football on game consoles. Then you have to take in the account that no matter if the offense is running HU or not, their is not enough time(occasionally there are) to make all the adjustments needed for specific play and it usually based on the formations/sets the offense comes out in(Spread,tight,Bunch, etc.)
It really makes it difficult if players want to continue to get better. I am very good a getting my defensive adjustments togethers but i'd really prefer if i can "coach" my players on what to do before they line up on the field to any specific plays i pick and then i could do smaller adjustments to spread,tight, and bunch formations. It's to complicated to have to make 5-10 adjustments in 5 or less seconds at EVERY snap.
