One thing I learned is that Madden does not look kindly on people that never or always blitz. The AI has gotten much better in recent years and if you blitz on every play, you're going to get toasted. If you never blitz, you are going to get toasted. Mix up the coverages, blitzes, etc. and you will fare much better (at least in All-Madden).

Similarly, mix up your playcalling on offense. Don't call the same play more than twice in any one series. If you have a wideout who has caught 10 balls for 200 yards and 3 TDs, bench him and use another wideout. The AI will make it harder and harder for you to get additional completions to that guy. Switch up your running backs. When you bring in fresh legs, you tend to get better numbers.

In general, Madden has gotten to the point that it's hard to "cheat." Madden definitely rewards people who call games as though they were calling games in the real world.
