I totally understand where you are coming from. Keep in mind though, this is a whole new team making Madden 10.

The newspaper articles in Franchise Mode. Concession sales. The same sounds in stadiums in the game? I want to hear those horns and fans yelling, "Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!" I want the legit Vikings horn when they get first downs, not some lame one. Cut down on Tom Hammond's constant plugging of EA Sports. We know who made the game! Finally, for the love of God, MAKE A REALLY GOOD SUPER BOWL CELEBRATION! The one that you see on TV with Roger Goodell presenting the trophy to the team and confetti spraying. The guys with shirts and hats on at the podium. This is true next-gen. Make it happen! PLEASE!!! Just look at NFL 2K5 and it will help you guys out. If you do this, it will be the first Madden I've purchased since 2006. Well, I'll buy it when it's $35 on half or eBay. I'll never spend more than that on any game!

Yeah as far as the superbowl thing goes you could have the winning team come rushing out to the field from the side lines. Then the trophy presentaion. Then maybe some shots from inside the locker room with a big party...

Oh Ian.... I really really hope you mean what you say in that post. I really do. It's just that the Madden series has been saying these things for a decade and every year we're disappointed. The game has bugs, glitches, features missing or removed, uniforms don't look right, clunky interfaces, lack of customization. The game is rushed out and has to be fixed with patches, and then a DLC with stuff that was supposed to be in there from the very beginning gets canceled. "It's ok just give us ANOTHER $60 next year and all your problems will be solved." And even then they never are. Every year EA cries wolf and like the proverbial townsfolk we come running. So those are great words to hear, I just hope EA can actually back them up this year. I'm cautiously optimistic about Madden 10, but I gotta see a reason to believe you first.

Great to hear. Franchise Mode has been neglected far too much this generation. We your guys success on NFL Head Coach, I look forward to how you make this baby (which stage it's in right now) grow.

Gotta have the obligatory Gatorade bath too....just a lot that could be done cut-scene and animation wise to the presentation to add a ton.

I think we need to see some animations up to par with the 2K football titles, especially with the quarterback. I can't stand how stiff the QB's in Madden hold the ball and how the move around the pocket, I think All Pro Football 2K8 had excellent QB animations and excellent animations in general.

Also being able to have more control over throwing the ball (i.e. putting touch on the ball, passing over the secondary, etc)

By the way, is the Wishlist Sub-Forum still the place Ian & Company are officially looking?

Although I don't know where they are looking officially, I'd bet that's where they are going for ideas...but threads like this they probably see your suggestions as well.
