Definitely feel your frustration but they seem to have chosen to address certain issues as in-depth as possible versus a less in-depth, sweeping approach. FYI, there is a write up stating that even though there doesn't seem to be an overhaul of WR/DB interaction that's sorely needed, the WR/DB fighting for the football/pass has improved.
"...In Madden 15, WRs and DBs will make efforts to catch balls that are close. This parlays into some interesting animations for jump balls and diving catches where the DB will simultaneously make a play on the ball even if the play results in a catch from the WR. Compounded with additional adjustments to the catch windows and DB swat, the passing game is definitely more polished than it has ever been and a far cry from last year's frustrating stencil and stamp results...." http://traditionsportsonline.com/thr...-means.111074/
