thats why you play with people you know.... then you can get together organize, practice together, get your strategies down, etc....
hell its not like its any different with nba where who ever happens to get the bull is definately NOT passing the ball.
also, how hard it is... if yourt a WR you get open and the QB hits your icon and throws it to you. if your oline you block... i find it VERY hard to believe even the worst madden play cant pass protect better then an AI controlled tackle
