It's not just the number of players on the field, but the fact that each player is following a different AI script (running a route, covering a zone, etc.).

Plus for the game to be realistic, each player can't just follow his pre-play script entirely.

There has to be a mix of prescripted movement and "on the fly" AI adjustments based on what the other players on the field are doing.
