When you say defenders have inhuman tackling abilities the same is being said about the guys on offense they also defy the laws of physics and what you say while is true in some cases it isn't true in all cases. All you have to do is have the defense running cover 3 zone and have the WR running a Corner route. Pass it to him, then hit the Y button (shoulder charge on Xbox) and the defender won't even TRY to tackle him and can be right in front of him or right beside him. Trust me some people are EXPERTS on the stick and that's not to say you are a slouch, but if they get what you are asking then we are REALLY in trouble. Plus as a Wide Receiver you can stiff arm a LB into the damn ground.

You are right in reality often a defender cannot attempt to tackling in the open field, but there are other times in the OPEN FIELD that he CAN and DOES.

Yeah, the physics aren't too realistic on the offensive side either. In reality, it all depends on the situation. Maybe something like the ball carrier is looking elsewhere and the defender can come to tackle. This can't be programmed in a game yet. There are other examples where the tackler has the advantage even in the open field. It's very tough to program. But generally, the speed of the players, their angles, their skills and physical strength determine what happens in these situations along with your player skills. Some of this would be very nice in the game. But some work on the YAC game needs to be done.

Of course, over doing it would he horrible. In Madden you can sometimes take too much advantage of its momentum physics. It has to be fine tuned. And while the ball carrier usually has the edge in the open field, the most important thing for the defense is to get as much guys around the ball as possible. All NFL teams are at least pretty good at this so you shouln't get to an open field one-on-one situation very often.
