It's Never Too Early to Talk Madden 16

I will try to leave out game play because it it seems like the team at EA has that under control. As along they add a push and shove animation for WRs and DBs I think they'll be good on that front.

Where is the HOF game madden?

They should bring back the run block modifier while keeping the pass block modifier.

They should add that aggressive conservative neutral deal from NCAA 14.

Why don't they show the QB name pre snap? They show the rest of the skill players.

If a name is on the game (generated rookies) commentators should say it.

They should hire writers to come up with draft stories. Give a writer 4 years of draft stories to come up with. That way they can talk about kids who won awards for multiple years and championships. they can have off the field issues but keep it rated E.

There should be a clear list of XP rewards in CFM for players, coaches, and owners regardless of what you play as. Aside From players it seems random. (I play as an owner so I may be missing something) I say this for 2 reasons: 1. I don't know how I gain points for my coach aside from winning. 2. Lets say you have a RB you know what you get for X amount of yards, but you don't know what you get for TDs, receiving yards, or receiving TDs.

Commentators should always say the names of players including who has the ball and who makes the sack, tackle, fumble, swat, or interception.

There should be different referee crews, even if they are made up. Have actors come in and do the motions and say the calls and results from penalties. They would call games differently like real life. The crews should also include all members from the head ref down to the chain gang.They should also have them throwing flags, hats, and beanbags. If anything at least have them throw the flags.

They should also find a writer that can come up with scripts to make the commentators make different games feel different. There's no reason week 13-17 games sound like preseason games, shoot the super bowl sounds like a preseason game.

Another thing "All Madden" shouldn't mean Geno Smith should throw like he's Peyton Manning (consistently because everyone shows flashes of greatness) and that goes for all positions. Meaning Robert Alford shouldn't lock down WRs like Revis and Sherman. (No disrespect to Geno and Robert) This is why I thought of another rating for players which would be discipline but that's for another day.

In the preseason AI should go for the win, no one plays for overtime in the preseason.

They had this in the last 2k football game and the last college football game but they really need to add a ticker and game breaks maybe with highlights.

At some point commentators should talk about other games, players, and award races because it takes some real investigating to find out whats going on in the league. (That a big one for me)

There should also be time of season and quarter specific commentating. There's no reason I should break a long run on my first carry and during my play selection I hear "they've really established the ground game" on 1 carry.

Why isn't there any analysis of any plays? There may be a reason but I don't know why they don't do it.

The team at EA also needs to go look at some of the teams punt formations and understand that its not all the same ... this goes for all special teams formations.

They really need to fix a few stats. If I have like 12 sacks after 3 games and lead the league when i sort it in the stats screen for the entire NFL my player should still show up. They also need to fix the catch allowed stat because it never shows for my players.

In all honesty they should redo the stats screen. They should mimic the NFL site as close as possible, because fumbles don't show up for WRs in the game. There should be a tab for passing, rushing, defense, turnovers, and the special teams stats (KR PR kicking and punting)

Please get rid of that "your team mates love to see when you give that type of effort" comment. I think its just a me thing.

Also, what happened to that gameplan deal from years ago where you could plan for the other teams favorite plays that was pretty cool.

Another thing why cant I play the pro bowl?

There should also be schedule history and super bowl/playoff history. Sometimes I get to week 9 and want to see who I played but cant remember who I played in the playoffs last year. Again I think this is a me thing.

This is all I have for now what do you think?
