I have tested what you are saying and found it to be true. Player attributes don't mean anything anymore. That why small ball personal like dollar can shut down a power run scheme no matter what play or personal you sub in. The whole game is about knowing which plays glitch out the opponent AI. Not real football concepts. Madden changed a few years ago to this. Something I've had to come to grips with and I don't play much anymore. Which sucks cause I'm a die hard football fan and been playing madden for 30yrs
