I want as real as possible (even if that means only having 1.5 to 2 seconds to throw the ball before getting creamed by the pass rush) but not everyone would enjoy that for what it was so, therefore, there has to be some compromise on both ends.
You said you want as real as possible, and (save for SS) all of those things add to a more realistic game. So that logic that youll never use or dont care about it is flawed.

You ARE part of the main target audience! But when you say I want EA to hear me, I have all the fixes, and then go off about how stupid the game plays while they are posting graphic improvements you lose credibility. (not necessarily you specifically mors, I am talking generally speaking).

Go read the article about why line play will never be realistic in football games again. Apparently on BB the line play was the best, most realistic line play to date, and yet did you get it??? Do you play it??? Would you play it if it had ncaa team branding on the helmets??? Its about more than realistic gameplay. Its about the entire experience. Its ALL about the small stuff! And the big stuff too. Wait till gameplay stuff comes out to bash gameplay if it happens that its not what you wanted. Thats ok. Bashing gp while graphics are being talked about (and good ones at that), is just simple minded babble.
