There is one HUGE flaw in Madden 18 in terms of realism. It is the absolutely STUPID tackle game. Is it the button pressing that sucks? Nope. It is the embarrassing disappearance of MOMENTUM during that minigame. Magically a running back is completely reversed in direction despite no added momentum vector from the other guy involved in the play. It is DISGUSTING looking.
All they have to do is change the animation so the rb falls forward if the offense loses the minigame.
