My annual thread to request certain plays and formations so teams play realistically. I think Anthony White has done a great job in recent years of adding in many realistic NFL concepts and trying to get teams to play as they do in real life. Last year, though, they dumbed down the playbooks a lot. The bad news was that there were less plays to choose from, the good news was that most teams had a bunch of their "staple" plays.

My one other complaint is that certain teams got a lot more love than others. Some teams did not even have one WR screen in their playbook and that just can't happen. Once again, I'll leave the true X and O stuff to those who know a lot more than me.

All Teams Need:
--More Option Routes
--WR Screens (As mentioned, some teams didn't even have any. The "Welker" screens are basically an NFL staple at this point)
--TE Screens
--Smoke Route (Should be a hot route option like the PS2 days)
--Designed Roll Out Passes
--Certain Deep Routes Need to be Deeper (many teams run 18-20 yd. digs, curls, comebacks and outs)

Deeper Pass Routes:

TE Screens:

Please Bring Back:
Customizable Packages
Formation Shifts

Formation Subs:
--All formations with a TE should have "Extra OL" as an option
--"TE Wide" should be available in more formations

Option Routes (From Patriots Playbook):

It would be nice if they would add more of these kinds of plays to the playbook. But it seems they always limit the plays and most teams always run the same plays at that. This is where I wish they would give us create a play in madden to let us create the plays we want. Limits hurt so much sometimes.

awesome thread, teams like the pats have so many unused plays that the cpu never calls.... but these would spice up the cpu attack

I, for one, want many more option routes in Madden. I won't pretend I've ever seen a NFL playbook. But from listening to enough commentary, analysis, player interviews, etc, the passing game is not as black & white as it is portrayed in Madden. Many routes have various combinations as dictated by the coverage.

If they were to add more option routes, then I would also like more control as far as leading passes. If I lead to the outside, but the receiver turns inside on an option route, I want that "not on the same page" feeling. Need more control of our passes! I think we are a WAYS away from this though.

With the way the passing system is setup, with passes being heavily tethered to the receiver, this probably would never happen.

Would like to see it as well though.

The bubble screen was a nice addition this year, we need more screen plays, more reverses (that work better), more option and misdirection plays!

This play by Garrard would be nice: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-fantas...d-25-yd-run-TD - it's a bit like the speed option from a few years back, madden 08 i think.

we also need more designed rollout plays, i dont think there are ANY this year without PA..

and also the read option needs to be fixed. it's impossible to get yards with it, ever..even with a guy like vick.
