May I ask why?

I miss the options of Create A Player. Everything is so default now when in the past you could change there faces along with there hair style. I also miss the animations of the highlight stick for elusive players, as well as being able to hit a persons helmet off.

Because if you played against people who did all out blitz's or nano blitz, you had no chance to get the ball to a open receiver because you had to move that stupid cone to find a open receiver.

I think that's part of the greatness of it. It is truly a read and react feature. You could select the receiver that got highlighted from the snap, hot route a quick read in case of blitz, made it harder to throw on the run, and truly put a value on a good quarterback.

Classic teams and the mini-games would go a long way toward getting me back on the Madden train. If classic teams are completely editable and feature just a little T.L.C. (correct classic logos, some classic stadiums, era-specific equipment options) it adds a heck of an angle to sports games. Part of what kept NFL 2K5 fresh for me all those years was the ability to air it out with Kurt Warner and the 1999 Rams, or blast up the middle with Icky Woods and the late 80's Bengals, or dominate with Barry Sanders and the 1991 Lions.

Adding select legends to current teams though? Just not the same at all. Editable classics? I'm all over it.

No to Tony Bruno and the vision cone.I never had a problem manipulating the stick to get to the receiver I needed to.I generally pick plays that I don't have to go through more than two reads often.If you had a bad qb and were getting nano blitzed you would live off short slants.The cone wouldn't do squat to differentiate.I believe player traits are much more useful.

I'd like to see player morale because it brought a more interesting aspect to how you would handle players during the season and off-season.I'd also like to go back to a one year feature in Madden '94 where they would cut into your game with a game winning fieldgoal attempt from another game.

Fair Play? I play offline most of the time
Vision Cone? Yes! loved it.
Owner mode? Yes!

Thanks OS

Last gens franchise mode was great.

M12's franchise mode was almost a return to glory.

2K5 presentation coupled with Madden 2007's franchise mode would have been the perfect marriage.
