Madden isn't a great example for this. Far as I'm concerned, football isn't a great game for co-op gaming, there's too many strictly regimented aspects of the game, especially on offense for it to work smoothly. Now basketball, soccer, hockey all share a common thread in that they incorporate constant free flowing motion, and as such, make for a much better co-op experience. Yes, you still need to know HOW to move, but for a video game experience, it's more stimulating by a large margin than running a route as a receiver or blocking a defensive end. Nobody's going to want to spend a whole game as an O-Lineman, and constantly switching off on positions and playcalling through a game will just result in inconsistencies.
