Either something like that or what they can do is with all 32 teams, go through and select the top three defenders and program special routines/behaviours and animations just for those defenders so that at least those defenders stand out. Maybe with some teams only do 1 guy. With the top defensive teams do 3 to 5 guys and with the weaker teams do 1 guy.
This way we can play a team defensive rating system. Some teams have 5 star defense others 4 star others 3 star, some 2 star and some 1 star. Just give me something. Defense in football games has gotta step up.
