Clint and I are all over this. We made some progress this year with offsides and encroachment (the 2 most frequently called penalties in the NFL) in M15 and we are absolutely going after PI and a bunch of others next year. I can assure you that nobody at EA is telling us we can't do penalties.
Pass interference is only part of it. Also, I don't want to see it implemented like it is now or the way injuries are. Nothing about that is realistic, it is just a random call. One thing I will give them credit for is for "clipping" (this gets called since they don't call it illegal block in the back), it will get called when you actually see it happen. If you are returning a kick you will see a guy get blocked in the back and go down. That's cool.

Make the penalties get called when they actually happen, not just at random and not always on 3rd down after you've converted a 3rd and 6.

If I am a developer on Madden I would start this project by sitting down with this: http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/penaltysummaries

Not ALL of these will translate well to a game, but most can and should. Remember, "if it's in the game...".

There should be no excuses as to why something "can't" be done in this space. It's software, nothing is impossible.
