No college or NFL team consistently plays their DE two yards off the line of scrimmage, that's just asinine

They do. Teams that consistently do this just label their DEs OLBs. Arden Key was a DE last year and will be an OLB this year. Same with bower.

We stood both of them up at times even after being in the down position at first. This year I'm sure theyll be up more often because of the scheme change.

My entire point is it's ridiculous that based on what madden 17 defines the position as on that play (DE or OLB) you cannot manually control your player the same way, such as backing him off the line. This has never been an issue before.
The same plays are not available in 2-3-6 Dime as 4-1-6 Dime. So I can't run the plays I want bc I can't user control my edge rusher just bc of the package name.

It is not illegal to do, and the fact that you can't affects my game. I basically run a 3 man front out of a formation with 4 down lineman. I do this so if I want to leave it alone I have a 4 man front, and the play selection is better out of that formation IMO.
