I definitely agree with the OP and that's part of why I would like to see a simple addition to Madden like this:

Make AWR ratings fluctuate for specific games ( AWR for every player of the home team gets a boost and every player on the away team takes a hit. Keep it simple and base it on home/away record, every home win gives +1 AWR at home and every road loss gives -1 AWR away. For franchise play, it would be based on in-game franchise home/away record and other modes like online ranked, play now, etc, would be based on real life current home/away record included in team updates. Also, add a +2 home/- 2 away AWR bonus for rivalry games and +3 home/-3 away for the playoffs in franchises).

Now of course. there is room for adjustment to this idea, maybe having an even bigger impact on AWR and other ratings but I think people get my point. Something like this would help link win/losses and on-feild player performance.
