Madden NFL 18 Gameplay Changes - What Do You Want to See?

[Ueauvan]

i dont know how feasible it is but if i discover their C and RG are not very agile then i want to be able to nominate one or more positions/gaps to apply pressure vs pass for example. at the moment i change my DEs over if the offense is weak one side (assuming one DE is better vs pass than the other) and shift/adjust dline to try and take advantage of the match up, and possibly switching lbers around to get the better rusher to exploit the gap i may create

get rid of goals for 2nd string like olbers 2/3 on each side and mlb 3/4 and te 3 or hb 4. given there are reasons why they are not starters why should they have similar goals, 10 sacks for LOLBer #3, or 40 tackles for MLBer #4. just getting plays should be a win for them, and if they take over for an injured player for multiple games then a prorated target for those games but not expecting the same production as the injured player

some are just STs so a few ST tackles as a target makes sense

Please add animations for failed blocks.

I'm so tired of watching my fullback, pulling guards, and tight ends not even attempt to block defenders who are defending the run, but run right past them to pick up a safety 10 yards down the field.

Visually, the game is lying to your eyes. If there is an animation where my fullback clearly "fails" to make the block, perhaps I'll have a split second window to react.

Not a gameplay change but for the love of god stop patching this game with only the MUT community in mind. So many of the gameplay changes my seem minor in MUT but make everything else unplayable.

Oh and let me edit weather in CFM, and sliders midgame in CFM.

Good possibility in the near future the modes will be separate based on what the developers have been saying on Twitter.

Weekly wrap up show in CFM. All digital (no usage of real life footage) fake replays of all games that week, including mine. Discuss the draft, as well. Discuss the big college players near the end of the year or something. As well, during wrap up show, near the end of the year, add playoff talk information. I know this is low on their list, but this is really all I would need for more immersion in my CFM to actually feel like I was in the league.

Gameplay:
QB scrambling more (specifically cam Newton and other mobile QBs). To overall replicate real pocket QB awareness, there needs to be more 'slight' movement in the pocket. Almost never have the QB completely stand still. So, overall, the logic needs to change/add constant movement based on pocket collapsing mixed with passing the ball at the right time.
Blocking - FB blocking specifically. I think Clint can fix if given time from what I've seen him tweet, and I trust him. FB simply needs better decision making on who to block, when to block, etc. FB needs to make a firm decision and attack D player, and needs to take on nearest immediate threat. Oline is similar - make better reads pre/post snap. Something is just off sometimes. Not sure if madden team purposely puts in 'bad blocks' for low awareness or something, so this could be tough, but I do not want to see my RG run downfield on a Bline to block the S leaving the DLineman to blow me up in the backfield.

I just want to piggy back off of you to make the same point.

It's okay that the Fullback misses blocks. It's okay that my pulling guard will occasionally miss the "kick out" block. It's okay that my Tight End will fail to block a linebacker sometimes. What's not okay is the offensive player running right past the defender without trying. I need to see the offensive player fail so I can react on the sticks.

2K's basketball product does a great job at putting enough animations in the game that the user always feels in control. There is a check and balance for everything. As it is now, and as it has been for years, there is no way to check a linebacker or lineman who my blockers ignore. Give me the opportunity to react, let me see my offensive player fail.

Real LB positions(Sam Mike Will)

If Madden 18 had NOTHING else but this I wouldn't be disappointed.

Lineplay throws off the rhythm of the game imo.

Make madden easier to play again... Not meaning elementary... but circle to spin. Analog or bumper to juke... this is the little things that made this game... go play a older version.... Same with NBA 2k...
