I've never played a full season in Madden or NCAA due to the numerous AI issues but I absolutely love playing against the CPU in Winning Eleven because it replicates the real deal so accurately. In response to the other poster, I don't think the AI problem in Madden has anything to do with processing power. The problem is just as the OP said, the AI logic is too narrowly focused on following assignments instead of understanding the bigger picture.

Winning Eleven absolutely. If I am destroying a defender (beating him almost every time down) the CPU will usually sub him out. They will adjust formations based on game score and my method of attack. If I am beating them down the sidelines, they will look to defend the sidelines. If I have holes in the middle of my defense, they will go up the middle. As a result, scoring goals and staving off attacks is unbelievably satisfying.
