Good chance... apparently Madden is getting refs for 2010!

About time. I know it maybe pointless to some but it adds some realism to it seeing people actually in control of the game.

I really hope NCAA gets accelerated clock. I have missed this so much since Madden had it on last-gen.

1. WHERE YALL AT?
I have played this game at least 100 times, and I have still yet to see a CONVOY on any special teams returned TD, or any defensinve pick 6! Looks good in the promo video though.

2. WHO'S WINNING THE GAME?
SPORTS TICKER underneath the scoreboard at the bottom of the screen. It should scroll at a moderate pace, and you should have the option of it being on or off, as well as all teams, top 25, or conference only.** In Dynasty mode, you should be able to view scoring plays of any 2 teams you choose, (replay engine can be used for this) conference only, and have the option to view or decline watching the scoring play in-game. (generic commentary from the janitor in the building is acceptable. LOL)

3. GOOD GAME, BUT IS THIS SCHOOL RIGHT FOR ME?
Feed back from recruiters visits

4. IS THAT HEALTHY GRASS, DYING GRASS, OR FIELD TURF?
Correct field color textures

5. HOW CAN WE BE WEARING DIFFERENT SHOES?
Player editing should have option of all or player only, when adding, changing, or removing player accessories (eye black, mouth peice, and hand warmer pouch need to be added)

6. HUT, HUT, HIKE!!!
CPU jump snap happens too often and I can usually draw them offsides everytime after I see they jumped the snap on my previous play.

7. IS EVERYONE READY TO GO YET?
Clear the stands when a game is sealed and out of reach in the 4th qtr. Not to be confused with a blow out, but no one stays for the final 2-3 minutes of a game when it's over, unless it's against your rival. Seats should start emptying out.

8. HOW FAR DO WE HAVE TO GO FOR A 1st DOWN?
Bring back the chain gang. It was there in madden and bill walsh back on the old ps and genesis consoles. What's up wit dat?

9. THIS FIELD MUST'VE COST A FORTUNE TO WITHSTAND THE WEATHER?
Field degradation.

10. SHOULDN'T IT BE DARK BY NOW? IT IS 8PM
Progressive lighting was in 08 and I read why it wasn't in 09. While I personally would've introduce the whole new lighting in 2010, I won't complain as long as it's in 2010 going forward, and is done correctly, according to time zone and time of year.

11. HEY I CAN SEE MY BREATH! A LITTLE.
When players breath, you should be able to see the smoke more. You can barely notice it on the game, but it's very noticable in real life. There's a wider spread when players in real life exhale. 2k did very good with this in their game.

12. THE FORECAST SAID SCATTERED SHOWERS & IT'S BEEN RAINNING/SNOWING ALL GAME!
Progressive weather i.e. snow/rain on and off, overcast with early, mid game, and/or late rain, or partly sunny turning to cloudy. You get the point. A variation of weather effects.

13. THEY MUST'VE PAINTED THE FIELD WHITE?
Footprints in the snow.

14. WHICH WAY ID THE WIND BLOWING?
Real time wind flags on top of the goal poles.

15. DID HE SCORE OR WAS HE OUT AT THE GOALINE?
Interactive pile ons in the end zone, like the old gen games.

16. HOW LONG WILL HE BE OUT?
Injuries should have more depth. When a player gets injured but is still able to play and walk off the field, you should get a pop-up on the screen notifying you of who suffered and injury. Then, at your leisure, you can go to the injury report screen and get more information on the injury if it's available. If it's a serious injury, you should be notified by the commentary team as to what the injury is, and what the players playing status is for the rest of the game (i.e. sprained ankels, neck ect. ect.) Official status should be available after you advance the week. **There should also be a combination 3 rehab activities to select as a rehab program for injured players (EA can determine the total number of rehab activities) for mid range to serious injuries, where you can choose a players rehab work out for 5 days, leading up to the next game, where you'll get an injury update and can decide to play the player, or keep him out. Attributes will naturally take a hit until player reaches 100% health whether he play's or not.

17. HOW'D THAT GUY GET ON THE FIELD???
On Field Substitutions!!! This used to be in the Madden games way bay in the day, on the Genesis console. WHAT HAPPEND??? There's no way you can be in a 2WR 2RB 1TE set, and go to the playcall screen, and qucikly select a play that uses 4WR and 1RB, and break the huddle, without someone leaving the field, and someone coming into the huddle! If this was done back on the Sega Genisis cartridge, how come it hasn't made it's way back onto next gen consoles, and current software?

18. CAN I GET SOME WATER WHILE I'M WAITING?
When you call a time out, the camera should zoom out and rotate to a high press box view, and show 2-3 water boys/girl running to the huddle to issue the players water, as well as the QB jogging to the sideline to meet with the coach. Once QB reaches sideline, camera should cut to a sideline view of coach and QB talking. (you should still be able to pick a play before the QB makes it to the sideline, as these views will now serve as the time out playcall screen view) Once you've selected your play, the QB and any sub players, should run back to the huddle, water boys/girl run off the field 2-3 second delay, and break the huddle. All while the camera reversus back (zoom in and rotate) to the original offense pre-snap view.

19. WHO THREW THAT FLAG?
On field officials please. Once again, something that was in old gen games.

20. ALL FG AND XRTA POINT BALLS KICKED ARE REWARDED TO THE FANS
FG nets please.

21. TIME TO POST GAME CONGREGATE
Post game should show media and teams empty on to the field to shake hands from the press box view, and the fans that are still left, leaving the stadium. **View highlights and game changing performance should be user optional to view.

22. HEY, HE CAN'T DO THAT AFTER THE WHISTLE!
Late hits. This was another fun way of taking your frustration out on a 24bit character in Madden during the genesis days. Currently when a player steps out of bounds, the play is immediately over. But, in the old genesis days, and in real life, players continue to run after the whistle and sometime become a victim of a late hit after the whistle, or out of bounds. I would love to see this make a return to the game.

23. YOU, MOTION ACROSS THE FORMATION! YOU, DO THE SAME.
Formation shifts and multiple motions. You used to be able to do this back on the PS. Would like to see this make a comeback into the franchise as well.

24. WHAT WAS THAT????
Tackle animations are HORRIBLE!!!! PLAYERS DON'T DIVE 5 YARDS AND MAKE A TACKLE! NOR DO THEY GET SUCKED INTO A PLAYER! THEY RUN THROUGH A PLAYER, CREATING A COLLISION BETWEEN THE TACKLER OR TACKLERS AND THE BALL CARRIER! THIS IS A MUST FIX GOING FORWARD!!!

25. GEOMETRY LESSON
The defensive pursuit angles taken on defense by the CPU are atrocious!

26. MORE PENALTIES
I'd like to see some illegal hands to the face, illegal contact, defensive holding and how about double penalties. (dbl penalties is in ESPN NFL Football 2k5)

27. The RB button (XBOX360) should be to throw the ball to the RB and not to throw the ball away! DOESN'T THAT MAKE MORE SENSE??? ALSO, shifting the d-pad left and right rapildy to perform a stutter step ,should be replaced with a trigger or bumper button when running. I THINK EVERYONE XBOX 360 USER WOULD AGREE WITH ME ON THIS ONE!!!! Trying to control the direction of the ball carrier while performing a stutter step to set up a juke left or right is very difficult when they are both performed with the same stick!!!

[flordiagators]

i think they need to name the fcs teams and do the create a school thing again other then that the games have really been great

[kevin80216]

PUT IN ALTERNATE HELMETS FOR TEAMS SUCH AS OREGON, USF (WHITE), LSU(WHITE), AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS. PLUS ALOT OF TEAMS HAVE VERY COMPLEX CLEAT WITH TEAM COLORS, IT WOULD BE COOL TO DESIGN TEAM CLEATS ALSO

[kevin80216]

ALSO THEY NEED TO PUT IN MORE HELMETS THAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING THIS YEAR LIKE THE ION 4D, AIR XP, AND REVOLUTION SPEED. PLUS THEY NEED TO ADD MORE FACEMASKS TO THE ALREADY EXSITING DNA AND REVOLUTION

Also, it'd be great if you turned off your caps lock thanks.
