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

How about explicit green dog blitz assignments?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but my current understanding of a green dog blitz: when a defensive player in man coverage identifies that his assigned man has stayed in to pass block and that now-blocker has engaged with a second already-blitzing defender, that first defender then blitzes.

CFM - Please fix all of the unrealistic draftees. Way too many 6'4-6'6 WR's in every draft and then guys can flip them easily and have 99 catch, 99 cit and just lob crap up and have them always catch it. IT's like playing a damn child who can't read a defense but just relies on that button.

I wish they would add signature animations for all QBs. It would be so awesome if they all felt and moved completely different. Had different throwing motions etc.

Some changes I would like to see for 18:

Get rid of the XP system - I just don't like it. Go back to the Progression system.

Off Ball injuries - I don't sim so the only way my O-line will get hurt is if they either pick up and fumble and get tackled or make a tackle. Also other players get hurt in real life when they are no where near the action so this should be in Madden.

Smarter AI - This includes CPU play calling, clock management, and roster management. Looking at the depth chart for all the other teams there's some moves that don't make any sense. The AI should also use formation subs.

Smarter QB AI - I only play against the CPU and it really takes the immersion out when you see the CPU QB just keep dropping back when he has a defender coming right in his face and then just takes a sack. I want to see the CPU step up into the pocket and see mobile QB's actually get out of the pocket and run. Right now I don't have to worry about mobile QB's because they aren't a threat since they never really take off.

Coaching Carousel - I loved it in NCAA and I think this needs to come to Madden. Have offense and defensive coordinators and also make them have their own personality. Just don't make all of them the same so when you are looking for a new coordinator you will actually have some choices. Also whatever coordinator is hired by a team that team should then run whatever offense or defense that coordinator runs. So if the Patriots bring in a coordinator that likes to just run the ball most of the time then when you play the Patriots they should be running the ball a lot.

Scouting system - Instead of just doing the scouting yourself we should hire a scout and then you tell the scout to look at a player and then instead of just getting that players rating we would get three or four things like "This player is good at stopping the run" or "Doesn't have very good awareness". Also all of the scouts shouldn't be 100% accurate. Have scouts that are better at scouting defensive guys and they are not so great scouting offensive players.

Realistic movement - I always play with a S when I'm on defense and it's just not realistic. I can keep up with a guy running down the field just by back peddling. If a S or CB tried to keep up with a receiver running downfield just by back peddling he would get beat.

Better generated Draft players.

Open/Closed Roofs - This was in last year but not for CFM which I don't know why. Give us the option of either having the roof opened or closed if we are in one of the stadiums that can do that.

Better record books - There should be team record books as well and not just the NFL all time records. I think it would be cool to be able to beat a team record. There should also be a record book for past Super Bowl Champions. Also when a player wins an award or is voted the MVP of the Super Bowl we should be able to see it.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but how about making it easier to start 32 team franchises? (sorry if this doesn't belong here)

Quarterback play needs to be completely revamped imo. It's one of the areas in which "the other game" is still far ahead of Madden in. The throwing trajectories really improved in Madden 16 but realistic movement, accuracy under pressure, and MUCH better animations still need to be addressed.

Like everyone said, I would like to see a more simulation game (smarter AI, a more deep CFM, ...)

And I don't know if it has already be said but I'm would like to see the weather having a real influence during a match.

For example, if it's raining/snowing, I would like to see more drops by the WRs, some slips when the player changing direction, etc.

This already happens and they need to honestly get rid of it IMO because they do not distribute it evenly. Doesn't make sense that only offensive players, namely WR's slip and fall, but the guys covering them never slip and fall? Just get rid of it IMO.
