TEs and RBs being uncoverable has been an issue since Madden '01, when I started playing and I've never seen a year of Madden or NCAA where TEs weren't overpowered. At this point EA doesn't care or can't fix it.
RB screens and outside runs usually waffle between brokenly consistently (like Madden the pas few years) or useless because the pursuit/shedding is so good. They never get this right either.
People complained about blockers not making giant holes every play so a few years ago EA "listened" by making run blocking stupid good and lineman/wr run blocking stats not matter. People don't realize lineman blocking perfectly every time results in 10+ yards far too often and 6-8 ypc averages. I guess our only choice is to mess with the sliders, but doing so usually breaks other things so good luck.
EA used to tweak the game every year between the two so at least it felt a little different, but they've stopped doing even that. So I guess is TE deep crosses on 4th and long and never punt as usual lol. EA never changes.
