That doesn't make dumbing your game down the right approach. Fixing the CPU AI would be the better approach.

Are you talking about what your opponent is showing you offensively or defensively? If you're on offense you dictate to the defense what they need to do based on personnel. If your opponent blitzes all the time put in a lot of quick slants and maybe some screens into your playbook. Max protect. And it's not like audibles and hot routes have been taken out. To me strategy still exists. Maybe even added strategy.

It sounds to me that guys most against this (and if you're against it, why complain? don't use it.) are online or head to head guys. Honestly, the game is very different for vs. cpu guys like myself and head to head guys. To each his own. I see great potential in this feature and since you don't have to use it, what's the downside?
