This is exactly whats wrong with madden in just 2 words!!!
Nothing should be "at will"!
we had all these features that ended up doing more harm than good that were "at will" type features when they shouldnt have been...
Spec Catch,
Lead Passing,
Weapons,
Rocket Catching,
Nano Blitzing,
running the same play on defense regardless of the situation (down and distance, personnel) and thats another big issue. I have witnessed people come out in a pass defense and shut the run down with 1 down linemen and a user controlled safety who can commit to the run and still cover the pass all at the same time.
Addressing those issues aswell would go a long ways with me and most of that has to do with player movement and foot planting! But nothing should even "at will"!
