I don't know anything about programming, but I think people are seriously underestimating just how many read and react and flow type situations occur in football. The initial positioning may be static, but from there it's a series of very subtle movements that make all the difference in a game looking and playing like tecmo bowl and the current version we have. Not to mention you're programming twice as many players.
