In hockey, forwards try to pass and get open, you look for open shots on net, the defense just tries to clear the puck. Football, blockers need to fill the right holes. Receivers need to run the right routes. Defense needs to fulfill their assignments, can have people blitzing because they feel like it while in a zone d, etc. Its a lot harder to accomplish

I think we need to be optimistic here. The most probable method is trial and error. Play with people, and befriend the people who play the game well. Like I said in another post, do a clan type system. These would be people you knew you could play with. You could easily get a clan of 10-11 guys going, and occasionally you'll play a team that doesn't have teamwork, and it should be no contest, because we know football is the ultimate team sport.
