The MCAS does help some with that, but a pilot would also. The engines are forward enough they produce enough lift to increase alpha without increasing back pressure on the stick. By law this cannot happen, there has to be a linear incremental force with increasing alpha. This is what the MCAS does and it makes the stick forces feel the same as the older jets so there would be no requirement for type certification on the MAX.
Mac explains it better.
