I know this isn't a popular opinion, but that's Madden. Madden (just like the NFL) is a copycat game. When a pro player runs something unique in round 1 of a tournament that is dominating, by round 3, half the field is running it. Winning Madden games isn't about who finds the best strategies, it's about who executes those strategies the best and it's rarely the same person.
It's a completely valid opinion to say it shouldn't be this way, but I'd have no idea what EA could possibly do to change this aspect of the game.
