I never have a problem with it. Why? because as a user on defense I switch to the closest defender on a run to the out side and press THE TACKLE BUTTON (A on Xbox.) What happens next? My defender usually doesn't over pursue (its a video game so its going to glitch every now and then or the offensive user will get the upper hand) and attempts a tackle. At that point the runner either gets tackled for a 2-3 yard gain OR the player breaks said tackle and that slows him down causing me to use another player to tackle him by pressing the A button. Simple really. The people who have a problem with it are the ones who constantly go for the big hit, or quite frankly are not that skilled and over pursue.
You can tell early on offense how skilled a player may or may not be based on how they react to a spin move in the open field. The only "stretch" play I run is in the Wildcat formation and people constantly over purse it or go for the big hit. Big hits are meant to be for meeting a running back in the gaps and trying to knock his lights out. OR hitting a receiver in the open field to cause an in-completion. Watch a live game of football. Tell me how it works out for DBs and linebackers that try to big hit a receiver who sees them coming in the flats or a RB on a stretch play. They usually look like fools and the runner gains extra yards.
