Near every position has extremely high emphasis on the mental aspect at the pro level. LBs have to be able to read blocks in a fraction of a second to either commit their gap assignments or drop into coverage. WRs have to read coverages just like QBs since many of the passing plays are designed where routes change mid-play based on coverage. OL has to read stunts and alignments by the DL and LBs so they can make sure they don't miss a block. And the list goes on.

In Madden for each of the above examples, LBs will get faked out during a play action on 3rd and 25 EVERY TIME while completely ignoring gap assignments and coverage assignments, WRs almost never read coverage correctly on option routes, and it is extremely easy to confuse the OL since they consistently miss open blocks and continue to stand there confused.

And if only we could edit draft classes or rosters mid season we could use FBG ratings
