You can't run the 46 in video games because passing is very unrealistic and a lot easier in Madden-form. With the 46 its easier to stop the run without blitzing. Since everyone is so close to the LOS its impossible for the offensive line/fullback to get a hat on everybody on defense - leaving defenders open to make plays. With all the added guys around the LOS you don't need to blitz, so that can actaully help your linebackers drops since they can tell if its run or pass from the reads they make by watching the offensive line. The defenses obvious weakness is againest the pass. Thats why only certain defenses can run it. Your corners are pretty out on islands alone againest WRs so you need great corners. Especially with the rule enforcement of the touch foul on WR (You can thank the cry baby Colts for that one) the 46 becomes even tougher to run.
It's just like everything else in football; the system maybe great but without the right players it's not going to work. The 46 is kind of outdated now IMO. With all the complicated offenses and athletic tight ends it's just a tough defense to run now a days.
