The problem here is that there is no game that is a simulation with your approach. HC is not a football game. There is no controlling the players.
EA should put the features in Madden and let cheezers that play 5 minute quarters and turn off the cap so they can sign every superstar to their team do season mode, turn the options off, or sim past them. Without NFL 2K the only option is Madden and EA owes us a complete experience on one disc.
