We are seeing more and more of these gamers who have aged, but not grown out of the habit or addiction of gaming. With that number of aging gamers growing, games need to find ways to help make the games more pick up and play friendly."

Agree with in game saves and accel clock but I'd like them to have web support for online leagues before online franchise. my instincts tell me online franchise will be next years #1 feature not in.

Thanks for the article. Especially the part about In-Game Saves.

Married father of three here, would really appreciate getting this into Madden 2010. I've been waiting a while now.

Agree with Tarheel. Camera Angles = biggest missing Feature. inexcusable actually for a 4 edition of the game.

Accel clock certainly is my #1, followed by in game saves. I'm not sure what 3 is, I don't care about online. Having multiple camera angles would be nice but I would probably play on the current angle anyway.
I think Custom Sounds would be nice since it is in NCAA this year. Seems like more of a NFL thing (piped in rock & hip hop and team songs) that aren't in the game than the college game (the band plays most music and some is in the game already).

i dnt understand how they take out things n think the game is better ( in game saves)

# 6 Sigma4Life @ 06/18/08 04:50 PM

I think progressive fatigue is more important than either of the features mentioned.

This would be nice, but I feel like it's something that would get overdone. I mean I get that guys are banged up and such, but was anyone noticeably fatigued in the Super Bowl - the 23rd game of the season?

in game saves are great but acclerated clock as the first one? hmmmmmm

# 9 ronnyballgame @ 06/18/08 06:22 PM

Acclerated clock is cool to have, but I wouldn't say it is number one on my list, personally, in game saves were the biggest disappoint ten fold for me. I got all excited when Gamespot said there were in and then EA declined it. So In game saves is far out there at number, but I assure they will have that in next year, if not, well I don't know, but I will be pissed, but so far this game is looking like a solid title.

Game saves Game saves Game saves

# 11 Beardown @ 06/18/08 06:31 PM

For me:

3. Accelerated clock
2. All sliders working, especially penalties.
1. In-game saves!

As a father of three and a new puppy I have not been able to play GTA IV for more than 30 minutes at a time, at this rate I will not be able to get a full game in.

1. Camera Angles
2. Camera Angles
3. Camera Angles

Accelerated Clock was perhaps the greatest "simple" change Madden ever created. It was brilliant, and I'd give up almost any other non-integral feature to have it back.

# 14 WatchdogXC @ 06/18/08 10:18 PM

I think accelerated clock was even on n64. It was sweet as time of possession made more sense.

Multiple\User Adjustable Camera's should be on that list or at least #4.

Besides Madden how many sports games only have ONE camera Option?

In game saves would be nice though.

Realistically next years priority list for EA should start off with EVERY last gen feature that they dropped from this gen.

# 16 Scott @ 06/18/08 11:15 PM

We can mark Accelerated Clock off the list now

# 17 Vikes1 @ 06/19/08 02:44 AM

In-game saves would have been huge for me. I'm also a father of 3, with a wife and home to take care of. Hopefully we'll get this for 2010.

# 18 solofx7 @ 06/19/08 02:57 AM

hmmm... i think that the lay calling screen is going to sto me from getting madden.
why only one selection eole will always see what you are doing. this is the worst thing about madden.

# 19 Shinyhubcaps @ 06/19/08 02:58 AM

I'd like them to add back some of the stuff that they took out previously like Create-a-Play and 90% of their Create-a-Team logos and colors.

# 20 RaiderKtulu @ 06/19/08 09:43 AM

To everyone talking about camera angles...

What angles do you want? The game isn't really playable at an angled sideline "TV broadcast" view.

I can see there maybe being some issue seeing the outside receivers if you're still living in the 90's and playing on an old 4:3 tv screen, but if you still have one of those, you shouldn't be playing with a 360/PS3.
