Madden 11 feature ideas.

Every year Madden has new features. Madden 10 had pro-tak to which was a decent success. Here are a couple ideas of new features.

DNA- Imagine facing the Patriots and the CPU does what the Patriots actually do. Tom Brady throws to his primary target as much as he does in real life. The Panthers run the ball as much as they do in real life (unless they are behind.) Back up running backs get just as much carries as they do in real life. Mike Vick will play just as much as he does in real life. NBA Live did it, and it was a major success. But this feature would be great for Madden.

Also, if they decided to add DNA, they could finally add scouting. Every week the more you scout the opponent, the more DNA is released about them. For example, if your playing the Patriots they'll tell you they like to throw the ball on 3rd and short. This way you could gameplan your way even better in Madden 11. For online, maybe they could keep track of tendencies. You scout your upcoming opponent in Online Franchise and found out he runs the wildcat 50% of the time. Well now you know what to expect.

Euphoria Engine or Pro-Tak 2.0- Pro-Tak is great and looks good too. But too many tackles repeat themselves. I've seen this one tackle so many times where the player meets the defender head on, almost breaks it, but then gets taken down by his feet. Now every time I see the beginning of that animation, I know he's gonna be tackled.

So if you buy the Euphoria Engine, it would bring freshness to the game. The hit stick would be greater. You could actually break any tackle, rather than those scripted broken pro-tak tackles. I could have a tackle like Brian Westbrook did on Bush or Willis on Brad Smith.

If you aren't able to buy it, then you should keep expanding on Pro-Tak. More animations and counters for each animation. For example, sometimes have that player not get tackled by his feet. and break it.

Training Camp/Preseason-Bring it back and make it matter!! But maybe even make it more important. In this Training Camp you will play scrimmages with injuries. The more aggressive the games on, the more your team will be prepared for the season. But also there may be more injuries. Also for Training Camp and Preseason your rookies rating will be a mystery. But the more you play with them, and how you play, will determine their rating. This way your Halfback is an 80 overall coming out of the draft, but you don't know it. Now, if you do amazing you can bring up his overall, but if you suck his overall goes down. This way people will play training camp and preseason. Include this for the incoming class in Madden too.

Progression 2.0- Every single player from the draft class of '09 ends up being ridiculous good. There are no busts and no gems. I think it would be better if some of the potential is random for these guys. That way Beanie Wells isnt automatically money. Also maybe some 5th rounders should get A potential.

Coaches dont matter too much in Madden. But I think coaches should be able to change player's potential. If a great coach gets somebody with C potential, he can bring him up to B. Also, a bad coach can bring somebody down.

Signature Style/Crowd- I want Ocho Cinco to showboat when he gets a big play or scores a touchdown, same with T.O. I want Brady to act like it was nothing, but Mark Sanchez to go crazy like he just won the superbowl. Roethlisberger should have the untucked shirt. Brandon Marshall and T.O. should cause distractions during the season, and demand trades.

The crowd last year, kind of sucked. Where was the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS chant we were promised? Nowhere. Well this year make it happen!! Also dynamic attendance would be tight. But the main thing I want is the camera to shake and audibles not to work when the crowd goes crazy on big plays and 3rd downs. The camera should shake so its hard to concentrate just like it is on Sunday for regular QBs.

Thats it, tell me if you like these ideas and if you have more.

i agree with everything you have there i too would love to see a system where you never know if the player will break the tackle or not tht way its not always a animation tht you end up remembering it turns me off on madden after a while

*the option to save online and offline games to your hard drive to review for scouting purposes.

*the ability to take snapshots of replays to customize and save to my hard drive, similiar to Super smash bros...... they can call it the Canon Snapshot of the game

*authentic NFL TV presentation. FOX, NBC, CBS, ESPN. They had it in the past. EA owns no television network

*A quiz to test and improve my football knowledge. madden players should be the smartest football fan base in the country

*the ESPN radio show.... Mike and Mike in the morning. They can loop it to play in the franchise (similiar to UFC undisputed loops during their menu interface)

*a coupon that gives me 15.00 off that years NFL head coach, and that years NCAA football.

*a feature that bridges NFL head coach together, similiar to NCAA's feature to import your draft class

*a FREE madden shirt, or thank you card for purchasing madden every year

*the feature from old that keeps track of your time spent playing Madden

*the ability to make detailed adjustments during the play calling screen. I should be able to tell Demarcus Ware to cover the flats from this screen, rather than the field

*the weapons icon, to identify playmakers

*MLB 09: the shows fan base

*An animated sideline

*On the field trash talk

*EA big to relaunch NFL street

*NBA lives DNA feature
