I think Madden's issue is that there is no way to get around having to deal with the AI, and with no real multiplayer option that matches what people get with Hockey, Basketball, and Soccer games (All players on the field are users), the game will continue to come up short.

Totally agree. It's totally evident to me. I see it in other games, too. The players move unrealistically, there's a lot of suction and the like during scripted plays. Just played a game where I threw a dumb pick in the flat. Instead of heading down the sideline for the easy TD the ai player inexplicably headed back to the middle of the field where I could tackle him.
