Completed passes into tight coverage where the defender never looks back for the ball, such as an LB chasing a TE or the back-shoulder pass where the DB never turns back. Bullet passes over the middle that don't get knocked down by a LB within five yards of the ball. Pulling linemen who easily beat RBs to open the hole. Defensive players who make ZERO mistakes or bad reads. Offensive linemen getting bull-rushed by defensive linemen. KO returns where the first four guys don't go unblocked. DBs who abandon coverage when the QB scrambles past the line of scrimmage.
None of that stuff happens.
Sure, the animations and graphics are outstanding, but anybody can make pretty pictures nowadays.
