The main problem is that theres no double team blocking which is what the 3-4 is based around. The 3-4 is meant to add blocker to oversized DTs (NTs) and the DEs usually are a lot closer to the size of 4-3 DTs and this is the problem. Without their being double team blocking in Madden the way it should be used the Linebackers are picked up in the blitz.

An easy solution would be for Madden to develop a formula for the OL to decide whether it needs to double block a defensive lineman. How to do so is a very difficult situation but it is a need and has been for many years.
