What do you expect? What we see all year round isn't in the game. Gameplay things like a botched snap or a errant snap aren't in the game because it would be upsetting in a Madden tournament.
So, Madden isn't football as it caters to tourney play where the only mistakes are made by the one at the control.

EA hasn't ever considered setting up customization to where the game fits any type of player.

Franchise mode has been in need of so much depth, the starting point that EA put into their Head coach 09 game. I don't need mods on here telling me it's an old game and doesn't factor in to games today. Smh
No, it demonstrates what EA could do for Madden Franchise mode.

So things not being in the game is a long tradition of EA version of Pro Football*

Isn't that the point of having separate modes? Competitive should remove uncontrollable things like that happening. The problem to me is that some things like that seem predetermined before you snap the ball. You can tell when a punt or FG is about to be blocked because the game moves slightly different.

They aren’t in the game really because they don’t effect the outcome of anything. I asked Clint in my recent interview about botched snaps and it just didn’t seem like something he was interested in. Until they are a necessity there is no reason to put much work into them.

Yeah I saw the interview,the only thing I disagree with is that they should at least have a snap rating.

so even if u don't loose the ball the rating can at least mean high and low snaps which can affect timing. But not completely destroy game on any setting.

I usually end up cutting the long snapper on whichever team I use because it is a waste of a position in Madden. Would love to see them actually have some impact, gunners on kick coverage too (Mathew Slater is another player who is useless in Madden). I would love to see special teams actually matter outside of your kicker/punter. Botched snaps on punts/field goals, bad holds etc.

Adding insult to injury for the Long Snappers, at TE they aren't even allowed to be subbed in the depth chart as the Long Snapper

It really kills immersion. These guys are rated so low that it's not worth it to keep them, especially when any lineman (in the game) will do the snap just fine. It almost forces you to make the unrealistic roster move of releasing them.

Yet another reason you almost HAVE TO release the player
