and the thing with the center doing that twist pissed me off too, because he pretty much just took himself out of the play.
Actually real life football blocking is a lot more complicated than just having the Tackle block the End and the Guard blocking the LB or whom ever is in front of them. Take a look at this:

That is from the Meyer Spread which is what the Patriots actually incorporate in their "spread offense." As you can see on some of the plays at times the Oline is asked to completely ignore the DEs. Madden doesn't capture true football running plays and assignments by neither the offense or defense, I can understand why though.
