I am not much into American Football games*...
... but considering how hard should be to code stuff like this, I am pretty sure you could add some animated players. You don't even need a lot of different animations.
And it would surely make people look better at the game. My first reaction when I saw the screenshots was exactly the :"What the hell, there are just helmets on field?".
(* the last one I actually tried to play seriously was... ooh.. John Madden on AMIGA, like 20 years ago... unless you consider Brutal Sports Football (Also for Amiga). That one I played for many years after its release, but I guess it doesn't count
