Here's the problem with the Zone Read in Madden as I see it - the pain isn't high enough.
In other words, the reason the NFL hasn't adopted the Zone-Read across the board is not because it isn't effective (because it can be brutally so), but because they can't get getting QBs massacred.
If I run RGIII or Kaepernick or even a moderate athlete like Tannehill or Rodgers out there to run the ZR 40 times/gm, sure, it's going to be pretty dangerous - until he dies.
And in Madden it doesn't matter, the QB dies and you hit re-set. But in real life the consequences are obviously far more dire.
I really think Madden should do something to dissuade the ZR in the game because the reality of a 16 week NFL season precludes the mass installment of the ZR in the league.
