I know how you feel. I am not technically good at the game either (since I came back to Madden recently not having touched it for +10 years!). I expected head-2-head battles to be based on teams of equal strength, so that it would be your skills rather than your wallet that would do the talking. It's no fun at all to play against a team where their RB storms through the chain each play and score a TD, no matter which play you choose from the playbook and no matter how lucky you are to press the right buttons at the right time.

So - sadly, Madden has much more become a solo-game for me, and it'll probably stay that way. Luckily (if you like that kinda stuff), it's being updated constantly with new solo-challenges etc. and you can have great fun by earning coins through the auction house, all with the purpose of building (although slower than those brads who spend actual money on the game AFTER buying it) up your team to maybe overcome some of the challenges that were simply too cumbersome or took too many tries before.
