If You Could Add One Thing to Madden 2010

[Archer]

Cheerleaders.

Ugh , thats the sort of thing EA would think , its always graphics and eye candy over gameplay and detail with them.

 

[Saluki]

I'd love to see better WR/DB interactions. For WR's more realistic fluid turning and jumping motions, for DB's more fighting for the ball, for both more bumping/handfighting/jostling for position in general.

 

[Point Blank]

Hmm, Where do I start..:shifty:

 

[DNEUM]

The biggest thing to me is I think they need to make the field bigger. In the NFL if a guy has a couple yards behind the DB he's wide open. In Madden that's a swat or a pick almost every time. And enough of me trying to throw a crossing route to a wide open WR and a LB 10 yards underneath picking it off. Make the field bigger, improve the spacing and that would fix a lot of things.

 

[Aso]

ESPN NFL 2k5 FTW!!!!!

 

[MvP]

The fun factor. It is missing and needs to be found.

 

[Leftwich]

This stuff is really good thanks guys feel free to keep suggesting.

 

[Chadman]

lol this pains me to read this stuff because the chances of it actually being done are slim....im talking crackhead bobby and whitney slim.

Also make the bodies more realistic, if a defensive end plays in the 3-4 make him the size of a DT, they are not skinny like 4-3 ends, I mean look at Haloti Ngata, the guy is huge in real life at 350 pounds but he looks like a twig in the game.

ALso on the 3-4 defense make the NT take up blocks like in real life, otherwise the 3-4 is almost impossible to use

Being able to throw the ball as the Quarterback is getting hit

Better offensive line assignments. Better blocking animations, etc...

Defensive Matchups. In the last gen maddens you could assign a Defensive back to a receiver and he would cover that receiver regardless of where he was on the field.

Better catch animations. Jump balls in the back of the endzone, receivers fighting for the ball, etc...

 

[dboy_dc]

I would add Shiancoe's 15 inch wiener.

SOOOOO HOMO

 

[Tearz49ers]

Get EA to allow the chooice to import a draft class on the PAL version of the game for everyone in Europe.

Also make it more playable I have hated every next gen version so far they have all sucked it up.

This can be done on this madden on 360

Not only catching animations but add throwing motions for QB's. Like Byron's slow and long stride release or Vince Young's side arm throw. Not saying every QB needs to have different ones, you can have default ones for the QB's with perfect mechanics but maybe change how fast they release it at certain positions.

Actually being able to sack the CPU

Make running easier

I love running this year, I find it more challenging which I like. It feels good now to go over 100 instead of oh well just another 100 yard game.

Agree 100%, it sucks how we cant import draft classes just becasuse we have the PAL version

Also there needs to be more quaterback ratings
for example, pocket presence - if a rusher is near them the move slightly in the pocket, tom brady is pro at it and it should be a rating

Accuracy when hit - as someone said you shoul dbe able to throw when hit but for this rating the accuracy is different as you have someone on you, Big ben is the best at it, this is alos for power

QB accuracy for short balls, medium balls and deep balls
same for power

WR route running short routes, medium routes, deep routes
Welker good at short, moss good at deep

a defenseive line rating of run stuffing, the higher the rating the more double teams the player gets when the offense runs the ball

same for pass rushing, so a pass rushing rating and the higher it is the more doube teams

a ball hawk weapon, so these players take chances and big ones at that, the higher the rating the better chance they make the play and dont get beat, the lower the rating the more they gamble unsecessfully, Ed Reed and Asante Samuel are perfect examples

Those ratings need to be in the game IMO

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

running this year is perfect IMO...you just have to be patient...its not like the past where you can just hold sprint and take off...patience will give you consitently 100 yd games...I'd like to be able to edit draft prospects i mean unless you personally change Tebow's rating in NCAA he comes out high 80's to 90's almost everytime i import a draft class. the player scouting should actualy do something too...like you can actually do the pre-draft workouts with players you've scouted and potentially give them a boost.

I'd also like the player progression to be tweaked...i loved it for PS2...every 4 weeks, including preseason you would get updated, and considerable ones too...when playing in a franchise if you like to use lets say Troy smith at QB for the ravens...if you complete 70% of passes for the season and throw for almost 4,000 yds wit lets say 25+ Tds and only a few picks...then he should go up to rating that would acknowledge your achievement. i see myself trying to develop young players in my 'chises and after HUGE seasons you see only a few points added on.

great few points there

I have only just got down the running game, you just have to be patient and when a hole opens up dart through it, it is much funner as it is more challenging

Also progression needs to be overhauled, loved all the points about 4 weekly and your right if a player has a great season they should go up.
You summed everything up pefectly
