Overall Madden Wishlist

[natetorres]

Hey everyone, haven't seen an overall wishlist in awhile. Hoping to get some of your wants going forward. I'll start it off.

- Year to year saves. I have some players I've created or drafted and would love to just carry on from where I've left off. Just how MLB the Show used to do.

- If not year to year saves, I'd like more customization of players. Like a stat editor or something. That might be asking for too much but I'd like it.

- Player personalities. Some players are louder than others, more cocky, some are more humble. I'd love to see that more in the game. Making these fully editable would be great especially for created players. This could be in terms of celebrating, a more humble player would just hand the ball to the refs or something, whereas a more expressive player will spike, dance, celebrate, etc.

- Deeper relocation. I know this is likely more of an NFL issue, but a relocation tool like NBA 2K. I would love to be able to move the Raiders back to LA for instance and the Chargers back to San Diego.

- Staff expansion and editable staffs. I love that we finally have OC and DC's but going further into scouting, adding GM's, and making all of this editable would be awesome. Maybe this could be included in Owner mode?

- Create a stadium, add ons, would be a lot of fun.

- Deeper contract details. Front load/back load but being able to edit the salaries for example.

- Some players becoming coaches, even rarer, GM's.

- Importing draft classes from the College Football video game coming out. (I'm assuming this will be included when it comes out)
- On top of this, including the coaching carousel to include college
coaches.

- Suspensions, random retirements, holdouts, dynamic crowds (I know some of this is NFL prevention)

- Dynamic league stories. Ideally through commentary, maybe even commenting on college games. (I trust there are people out there that could make this happen.)

- Rule changes (similar to NBA 2K)

- Being able to play non-user games in offline franchise

- Dynamic weather

- Create a play:the ability to draw up plays. It'd be sick to try to draw up plays and defenses of our own. Allow us some creativity.

- OC/DC Abilities:Maybe upgraded coaches can have access to exclusive plays that average coaches don't have access too. Or building off of my idea above, a hard to attain skill that allows create a play!

- Editable player tags/interests: I don't hate this thing as far as players having opinions on a team such as location, finances, Start QB, coaching prestige. But I would like these to be editable.

- More customization in player editor/creation: ability to edit tattoos, face morphing (2K), more customizable body types


- Dynamic crowds: Although I know this is more of an NFL issue, seeing emptier stadiums for down teams is such a cool immersion thing. Or crowds leaving in blow outs.

I’d love to have pregame substitutions on all formations within your edited/created playbook for offense and defense

* Player Personnel department should be represented by a firable character (General Manager).

* Salary vs. Bonus heavy contracts, back loading... just more options. I'm glad the game has salary templates, but as it stands it doesn't allow you much strategic leeway.

* Ditch owner mode entirely. Give every team a cash flow budget for paying out signing bonuses and hiring staff.

* Completely redo the position/depth chart system on defense. Edge, 3 Tech, 1 Tech, 5 Tech, and stack linebackers. Playbook positions to accommodate. For instance, Aaron Donald will play RE in 3-4 defenses, Under tackle in 4-3 defenses automatically. 4-3 teams should automatically be moving 3-4 Edge rushers to DE, and this system would make that happen naturally.

* Ability to set base orientations within schemes. For instance, some teams orient their safeties between Free and Strong, some Left and Right, some Boundry and Field. Same applies to defensive ends and linebackers.

* Get. Rid. Of. XP!!! Replace with training/coaching system and players having traits that interact with that system.

* Full coaching staffs.

* Weekly Preperation/gameplanning should actually generate a gameplan/call sheet that is different depending on opponent's strengths and tendencies. The ability to quickly edit it would be nice.

* Fix the goddamn custom playbooks!!! Game plans in particular; 4 minute offense is for killing clock with a lead, 2 minute offense is for trying to come from behind. Get this crap sorted out.

I'll add more later.

I could nerd tf out and make a big ol’ list but honestly I just want them to clean up this interface and in particular fix how these menus and depth charts work, and get rid of these arbitrary depth chart limitations (can put a TE in the WR depth chart but not a HB, can put a DT in at FB but not a LB, etc.) and fix these position designations to allow for more hybridization (the whole “OLB” vs “edge rusher” thing).

Different difficulty level options for ofense and defense.

I will add on to here later.

No particular order.

1. Clean screen option. I don't like seeing the momentum meter at the top of the screen all game long.

2. Editable playbooks and coach style tendencies. I want EDITABLE playbooks, not custom playbooks for teams.

3. More weather options. Temperature options.

4. Players need some sort of touches tendency like NBA 2K has, that way the star player of the team would get the ball thrown to them more. As it stands now, Madden really don't make their best player the priority.

5. WR/DB battles. I want to see true jamming and hand fighting. Push offs, jersey tugs, etc. FIFA has had this for years. If Madden had this, we would see more interference penalties. As it stands now, you would be lucky to see 1 called out of 20 games played. It rarely is called in Madden. WR/DB in current Madden is still a foot race from point A to point B.

6. More camera options, with a custom camera option.

7. More injury animations. Currently it look like like they just have 1. It is weird too because you would see the player celebrating then instantly be injured. More variety of injuries is needed too.

8. Give us the option to drill one of these QBs that are sliding. Sure it would be a flag, but I want the option to do it. I don't like that unnatural every defender nearby hits an invisible wall animation that plays when they slide.

9. Better sack animations. This has been an eye sore for a long time in Madden.

10. More tackle animations. It be way too many jumping forearm shot hit stick animation that plays out. I also want to see stronger backs drag weaker defenders type of animations.

11. Refs on the field.

12. Pregame, halftime, post game show, with an actual highlight system.

13. Better lighting.

14. Better zone coverage and DB alignment. I always cringe when I see they leave a TE in the slot or a slot WR uncovered. That player always be wide open and thrown to majority of the time because the defender that suppose to be covering him be no where near him. I would also like to see zone defenders actually communicate with other defenders, alerting them and stuff.

15. Make star players stand out. Madden struggles with this. They need to find a way to make them stand out when they are on the field, you can feel their impact.

16. Players talking crap to each other on the field. It would add to the realism seeing that happen.

17. Franchise mode need like their own separate presentation package. Make it feel totally different then Play Now mode. Be it bring back the weekly radio show or something. Franchise in Madden been stale to me for a long time. I find it boring due to the presentation is lacking. They need rivalries, make rivalry games feel different, different atmosphere, aggression of players, etc.

Growing up in Chicago, when the Bears played the Packers, the atmosphere was different. It is like certain teams just forever hated each other. It was felt throughout the city the entire week. Madden needs this. While we are at it, an important game, like you need a win to make the playoffs or win the division need to feel different then a regular season game. The commentary should make you feel the importance of said game. Just like a playoff game should feel different. Or if the coach is on the hot seat, commentary should reflect that too.

I really only want 2 things from Madden.

1.) A FULL player editing!! Things like color of skin, hair, eye color etc . Just like MLB The show.

2.) A player VAULT!! Like mlbts! Would make making rosters a whole lot easier.

Turn off the amazingly stupid momentum crap. So stupid.
