    Official Madden 2011 Wishlist

    Well, I always come up with ideas to improve the game and they just fly over my head. I would like to collectively gather these ideas in a thread.

    Gameplay

    -Too many chain gangs

    -Playclock keeps running after an incomplete pass

    -Fix real weather system

    -Fix the Curls/Flats

    -More User control: I dunno about others but while playing as a defensive player, sometimes im unable to do anything to stop the play. Swats, picks, etc. I can be in perfect position looking in the direction of the ball and nothing will happen.

    -Better passing: Timing based passing, better ball trajectory, more arc, etc. Im tired of throwing the ball to someone open 10 yards down field only to see it picked or deflected by someone who has no business making a play.

    -More catch animations: Dont want to see the over the shoulder, looking away from the ball catch anymore. I dont want my player to slow down either. Why cant they just catch the ball in stride?

    -Better blocking: Pretty self explanatory there. I dont wanna see Guards and Centers go straight for a linebacker when the nose guard is head up on em, or Tackles and Guards spin around and not block anything on pass plays.

    -Pro Tack: I like it but that animation where the runner sheds 3 people and your other defenders become useless needs to go. That shit is ridiculous. The only way i would want to keep that in is if they made double hits a option.

    -Running Animation: Needs work, 10>06-09 but it still needs tweaking.

    -Ability to catch missed field goal NOT in fg block return

    Online Franchise

    -Salary cap/contracts

    -Ability to play with updated rosters

    -Post Season stats

    -Pro Bowl honors

    -Awards such as MVP, Comeback Player, Offensive Rookie of the Year, DROY, etc...

    -Hide ratings for rookies: By the forth round theres nothing but 60-50 ovr left. But with the internets it would still be hard to draft the gems.

    -Edit players: In OF if i wanna change a players equipment i should be able to.

    -Trade Draft picks

    -During the game, show current statistics the players have for the season. Ex: When showing warmups, show how many TD's Matt Stafford has for the current franchise season.

    -Why is when the game is supersimmed they play with default set depth chart? And when the game is simmed the simmed game does not use your depth chart.

    Presentation

    -Full capture replay similar to Halo 3. Ability to save and share highlights more efficiently. We need more ways to capture a play--the set replay formats like "broadcast" and "sidelines" suck.

    -ESPN/FOX/CBS for broadcast-like experience

    More TV presentation: Show close ups of players with their stat banner, show teams records and during the latter part of the season, show the playoff picture, Show the injury report, starting lineups, Situational stats.

    -More emotion: More players talking to each other, more excitement from the crowd and the players after a big play. Players need to be celebrating with each other after a big play, not just walking by each other with their hands in the air.

    -Better Commentary: No emotion.

    -You should be able to see your opponents record and have access to their whole profile when they challenge you. I hate it when I get a challenge from someone and they have all ready "readied up" and I cannot see their record. It's incredibly annoying

    Offline Franchise

    -Improve on "The Extra Point"

    -Better free agent talks

    -Better draft presentation

    -Basically, keep the progress towards making Madden offline franchise exactly like NFL Head Coach.

    Online Setup

    -Ability to watch people's games

        If so much people love 2K so much why doesn't EA Sports hire someone that worked on the 2K football games as part of their crew. I don't see why they shouldn't. In Madden 2010 it seemed like they did so much to try to beat 2K5. They created post game, and halftime shows which were absolutely horrible and the show "The Extra Point" which was also horrible. ESPN NFL 2K5 has an amazing tackling system where players can just add onto the animation without any glitch, problems in physics or anything. Madden comes up with this Pro-tak thing which is OK but really nothing special and you see things like 200 lb backs breaking three tackles all at once too often. Then their isn't much physics in tackling as well. Something that really bothers me is that a players weight means nothing. Then the avoidance stick is really not as good as in 2K5. It's just a quick move you can break any tackles.

            Franchise Mode:
            • Add in inactive players for gameday and the third "emergency QB." So before each game you set your inactives and you can't use those players and then an emergency QB which can be any player on your roster.

            • Have real roster sizes. In an nfl season no team carries 10 healthy offensive lineman. They usually carry 7 or 8.

            • In the preseason and off-season i think it would be best to let teams sign as much players as they want (or 75 or 80, whatever the limit is in the NFL) and then before the regular season starts have teams cut down to 53.

            • Have computers trade between themselves. I know they will during the draft but i mean other than just that. If player X has 1 year left on his contract and he's not happy and team Y really needs the position he plays those two cpu teams should trade and then this should be reported on the extra point.


            Gameplay:
            Get the ratings from 2K5 for things like aggressiveness, consistency, leadership that really shape what kinda players, players are. For example so often a CB like asante samuel will try to jump a route for an interception and often he'll make an interception but because of this he also gives up a lot of passes deep and can get beat on double moves. His aggressiveness should be in the 70's. Then you have a guy like Nnamdi Asomugha who pretty much just blankets his receiver all game not taking much if any chances and because of that he doesn't get beat as often but doesn't get as much INT's either. So ratings like these i think should be added that actually shape what kind of player they really are.

            In NFL 2K5 you can pump to certain receivers. This should be in the game because this would have the same effect the vision cone had. You can manipulate the safety in order to get receiver X open. Would be amazing if they could add this.

            One play in 2K5 i had both WR's running post patterns and when i dropped back i recognized the defense was in a cover 3. i pumped to my left WR and the safety went there and it left my right WR wide open. This also goes back to what i said previously for the aggressiveness rating. Aggressive safeties would go for the pump wanting an INT but safeties with a lower aggressiveness wouldn't go for the pump and stay disciplined.

                I had actually heard somewhere they were supposedly working with the backbreaker guys as well. I cannot remember where on earth I read it..But I definitely remember hearing something about it..Maybe through Twitter.

                  All great ideas one think I want to see is bring back gamecast so you can see the scores while your friends are playing or even better let it be able to let people watch the game I know in online franchises everyone pretty much wants to watch the SuperBowl

                    I looked this up real quick, and know this is not the original source of where i (think) i heard this rumor but im not sure what happened along these lines

                    If you look back in the archives, I hinted at Backbreaker positioning itself not for the consumers but for a huge publisher either to buy the real-time physics, animation, software or for a huge pu…


                    But then again maybe it was just rumors and they never pulled the trigger

                      Hmmm. First time ive seen that. As far as i know EA was "Not impressed" with Backbreakers engine.

                        Yeah because all of the tackles are "missile tackles" or just 1 on 1 tackles i believe. With BB's engine i don't think you can have any gang tackling.

                              Great suggestions thus far, if you guys keep this thing going, I'll make sure it finds its way to the guys at EA Sports.
