Haven't really played any of the new Maddens.. But I wanted to throw my 2 cents in..
When I did play Madden, I don't actually play the sport within the game. I let the CPU do that (alot of times it's WAY too easy, or the AI cheating thing). I just like to play GM and train all my young guys into All Stars. Then I trade them away for draft picks, and start again. In that process, I found to be able to bring in a few Super Bowl trophies. Mostly, though.. I'm just a playoff team.
To me, the fun is training/trading/drafting. Not the actual game itself (that, and considering that the game the past few years has been buggy).

its the same thing for me. only i actually played the games, but you're right the fun was definitely in the coaching/gm aspects of the game.
i gave up madden in 96 after they started trying to make everything far too complicated. i didnt care enough to turn the QB's head and pick which shoulder to throw it to all in a split second before a pass.
i don't miss playing at all, i do miss the offseason stuff.
