Ideas Madden Can Steal From NCAA Football

To be fair, that is what DPP and player traits are for. For example, in NCAA you set defenders to be aggressive/balanced/conservative in going for interceptions or swats. In Madden 12, 13, and 25, each individual player has the "Goes for the ball in the air" trait set to one of those three.

I still get the impression that Donny forgot that player traits are even in the game. For example, Navarro Bowman has had 1 star consistency since Madden 12. What's up with that? He should be 5 like Willis. In fact, when I go back and chek players from Madden 12's default roster update and Madden 25's most recent update, most if not all the players have the same player traits from when they were assigned the first time around.

It is funny in a sad way that Donny and Josh Looman talked about how that would make Donny's life easier and make ratign players even more accurate. They said they could give Tim Tebow 88+ deep throwing accuracy but only 1 star of consistency. The consistency train is supposed to have a big impact on franchise/CCM. It is supposed to determine under the hood the chances that each individual player will play up to his true ratings, or below them. The point is that on his best day, Tebow will have 88 or better deep accuracy, but with one star, his best day won't come that often. However, Peyton Manning has 5 starts and brings his A game week in and week out. I don' know what Tony Romo has in Madden, but let's say he is a 3 star. Some times he is good. Sometimes he isn't.

DPP and Player traits were a really good idea on paper that hasn't been touched much since Madden 12 as far as I can tell, which is sad... and typical of EA.

Don't know if it is really stealing an idea but I would like to see EA allow us to continue to use NCAA draft classes from NCAA 14 in future additions of Madden.

I don't see why they wouldn't write in that code so we can use NCAA 14 to create draft classes in the future.

Amazing idea and very simple to execute. Combine that with a call-up system in case you release players or lose some to IR and we could be looking at a nice touch to the overall game. Would be equally awesome if your assigned practice squad players also end up being on the "scout team" during weekly practice mode and gain XP based on how they practice against your first team. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement.
