Sup guys this is about the Steelers depth chart / roster and Troy Palamalu. Anthony madision(CB) was no longer with the team when you sent out the roster up date. The cornerback you are missing is second team LCB Keiwan Ratliff college Folrida. Troy Palamalu's catch 77 ??????? Now that I believe is really underrated. He can catch just as good as Ed Reed, if not better. Thank You for your time, patience, and what you do for the game.

Hi I am very new to Maddens latest games. I used to play Madden 2005 in the franchise mode and have a question about why they changed the way you get scouting reports for the NFL draft.

What sense does it make to have me run skill drills to get a scouting report. I am not very good at them and it is very frustrating to never get any info on QB's ect.

NFL scouts and coaches do not go out and run skill drills players do and the scouts and coaches watch. I understand serious players want to "get a feel" for how players react but shouldn't this be an option where after you scout someone you can run drills rather than be the way you get info?

Also if I just go by the basic info like should be drafted in the 1st 5 rounds ect. is that info fairly accurate?

Finally has the AI gotten smarter about trades and free agents?

I recently started an offline franchise, and I exported the team so that I could play against my brothers Franchise team, but after we started the game a few plays in it continually freezes. We have tried it about a dozen times now and every time after a few plays the screen either goes black and freezes or the game just stops. Will there be a patch for this or is this just an issue with my system and/or game?

"CHRIS COLLINSWORTH"
---Collinsworth was a mediocre player and is a pathetic excuse for an announcer. His comments, observations and voice are all equally sickening!!!
----Anyone, except Kornheiser, would be better.

So please,please,please,please,please,please! get rid of this ignorant man. Why and how does he still know nothing about football????
On sunday night football All he does is talk crap about the NFL players and has no concept on any of the rules. I honestly mute the game when watching him verbally destroy Sunday Night Football. Everyone I know agrees with me. Let him go back to the Olympics! hell then we don't have to hear his crap until every 4 years.

I don't know where NBC get his ratings as the most honorable sport analyst from!?! That's a joke right? Please EA I love your games for all genres. But you must have the NFL or whomever remove him from your game.

Hell even id rather have Dennis Miller on it! at least he admitted in not knowing anything about football!

At least if you cant get rid of him, make an option just to mute him alone!

awwwwwwwww- i cant take his voice anymore!

it would be nice if one of two things happened:

1) EA make a better game, based on physics, not pre-made animations.
2) EA didn't have an exclusive NFL license, so someone else could take a shot at thing #1.

Why not have a COACH mode where you can enter a game or Dynasty/ Franchise game with the ability to call the plays/ make substitutions and watch your players play realistic games play by play against their opponents.

I'VE NOTICE A LOT WITH NFL PLAYERS UNIFORM ATTIRE, THEY NO LONGER STICK WITH THE OLD TRADITIONAL NFL REGULATIONS ON UNIFORM CODE; FOR EXAMPLE GREEN BAY DB'S, WR'S DONT WEAR THE TRADITIONAL NFL SOCKS LIKE WHATS EMPLAMENTED IN MADDEN GAMES... THEY MOSTLY WEAR ALL SOLID GREEN WITH BLACK CLEATS, A LOT OF TEAMS ARE PULLING THE SAME DRESS CODE... LETS ALSO BRING BACK THE LONG WHITE PIPE SOCKS ON THE OUTTER LAYER IN THE LIKEINGS OF DEION SANDERS, REGGIE BUSH, AND DESEAN JACKSON. ALL I AM SAYING IS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CREATIVE PLAYER OR FAVORITE PLAYER UNIFORM STYLE WOULD BE... NBA LIVE HAS NAME BRAND KICKS , JORDAN'S, ADDIDAS, CONVERSE, NIKE, REEBOK, AND ETC... ONLY THING WE GE TO CHANGE ARE DEFAULT LOOKING REEBOK CLEETS, WE HAVE NIKE, UNDER ARMOUR, AND JORDAN CLEETS..... PLEASE MAKE NEXT YEARS 2011, A LITTLE MOORE EXCITING AND CHALLENGING IN THE UNIFORM DEPT.....OH PLEASE FIX THE UNDER ARMOUR LONG SLEEVES IT LOOKS LIKE A GREY THERMAL THANKS FOR LISITNENING.

What is the proper protocol for trying to get a technical support response? I've posted the same issue for over a year and do not get a response. I've actually gotten posts deleted. I'm trying to get something fixed for us lowly PSP users but EA doesn't seem to care.

1. The first thing I think can be improved is the Superstar mode. At the end of a game where you have your highlights, I think it'd be better if you had your top play instead. I think this will be better since the highlights at the end of the game can only consist of plays you've been in. Therefore highlights will only be of your teams offense or defense(depending on position). It seems to me its more appropriate for a your top play.

2. In Superstar mode, despite the fact that you're a rookie, you get to be starter. I think that you should be benched and spend your first few years developing, if you play well when you get an opportunity you progress quicker.

3. Also reincorporate the drills in Superstar mode. This will also help out with the progression problems I mentioned in #2. The drills are more appropriate as a way to make your superstar better than as a mini game.

4. Chemistry, If you're playing wide receiver and constituency make a reception the QB should pass to you more often. It can only exist between QBs and receivers and possibly HBs and FBs, add a couch and/or QB approval bar, for instance if you don't run your routes couch might get angry with you and bench you. If you call for the ball when you aren't open QB might neglect you on the field.

5. You're payed by your contracts but aren't allowed to use your money. I think you should be able to spend your money on equipment or other items.

6. The crowds are always full, in Franchise and Superstar mode I think the crowds should be full if your team wins games. if you don't play well the crowd should get smaller and seats should remain empty.

7. That is all for Superstar mode, Franchise mode I have one particular improvement i would like to see here. Over the course of a week(Franchise mode week) all you can do is either play the game or improve your team. There isn't much variety. You should be allowed to for instance select a play to practice for next week and that play will receive some sort of boost. This could work with players as well, give a certain player more attention on the drills and he can play better in the next game. Also in cooperate a moral system, maybe practicing the same play every week the or giving a certain player to much attention will cause a decrease in the players moral and dedication to the game.

8. Add a little more sound effects. For example when you catch a ball make a catch sound effect, when a player slips on mud incorporate a sound effect for that and other scenarios.

9. I can't see the football that well in a field goal, fumble and drop passes. Perhaps make the football a bit more noticeable.

10. In madden 2010 you added the measurements for first downs whether you got the first ball down or was stopped just short of it. its a pretty long delay from the game and happens quite frequently. first you see the players get off the field, then the measurement crew get on, then the measurement is confirmed. The middle scene could be skipped by having the measurement crew get on while the players get off the field. Also you can tell what the outcome is by the angle of the camera, make it a bit more suspenseful by changing the camera angles making it unpredictable.

11. Sizna_at_EIU mentioned something i have noticed as well. I was playing the computer the one time and it was fourth down, i went for a field goal the other team came out in field goal block formation, i called a timeout and picked a fake field goal pass, the other team to my surprise didn't come out in a a field goal block formation but rather in a different formation a 3-4 i believe. The computer should act without knowing what play you picked that way the unpredictable doesn't become predictable.

12. When throwing to a WR you can drop the pass after making the catch. When you throw a pick there is that circle around the player, time freezes and there is no chance of him dropping the pass. There should be the same chance of your WR dropping the pass and the intercepting player dropping the pass.

13. Make more exciting Superbowl award ceremony and cut scenes.

14. When using ask madden in play selection, John Madden gives you advice. If he isn't done talking before you choose your play the announcer and he will speak at the same time. Also when using the ask madden feature the plays offered aren't always appropriate, for instance getting a hail mail on goal line is definitely a play you wouldn't use.

15. The fight for the fumble feature is a great addition. Although I personally feel that sometimes the player clearly has possession of the ball. Then the opposing team jumps on it and a fight for the fumble mini game commences. The time to jump on the ball should be decreased

16. Accelerated clock is a feature i didn't like as much. When you are down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, it is difficult to tie it up or win since you lose a lot of time whenever you get a completion.

17. The player should rush back to the line faster in hurry up offense depending on the moment. If you're in the red zone and you need a touch down to win, 10 seconds left on the clock the players should rush to line to get that last play off, instead of being late one second.

18. The computer wastes opportunities in field goal blocks and punt blocks. Sometimes the computer is in the face of the kicker and doesn't jump on the ball instead waves his hands at them.

19. Customizable playbooks or plays would be nice.

20. This is probably the biggest problem I've noticed with madden and its the field to player size ratio. The easiest way to show this would be with a picture.

as you can see 2 yards or six feet is completely out of ratio with the approximately six foot male before you. This is probably a problem which can't be fixed this year. But by fixing this problem you can make the game play a lot more intense and a lot more realistic since you will need to increase the speed of the players drastically.

I hate you. Why should I waste time progressing players in NCAA for importing only to have you douchers wreck all their stats with your random manipulations? How the hell is it realistic for Speed and throwing power to drop from high 90's to mid 70's?

As for madden's progression- it can't be that hard to use a system that isn't retarded. For instance, Miles Austin was given a rating in the high 70's to start this year out. Madden 11 will probably see him in the low 90's-- yet that would never happen with the progression system you use in this game. If a 60 ovr QB is in the top 5 of all passing stat categories, why am I dealing with a 4-6 rating increase each season? (mind you this with a A potential- because i paid you dicks money for the progression upgrade options)

I hate you. I can't say I will stop buying the game as you continue to make it blow- but I will try to make a point to destroy something you love if this happens next year... maybe a pet.

I think it would be nice to add a friend invite to game for the Madden Ultimate Team so it would be easier to play against your friends.

I would like to see some small adjustments to the next madden game

1. making the playoffs available from the start menu. Being able to choose teams that make the playoffs, being able to seed them 1-6 for each conference and also being able to choose where the Super Bowl will be played (making sure that each stadium can be dressed up and feel like a real Super Bowl)

2. Give us the option as coaches to determine position battles during the pre-seaon. During the pre season we know that some players that are not fighting for a spot don't play as serious as those that do, so when we sign free agents or draft players, giving us the option to open up a competition for that position might bring a little more to the pre-season.

3. Like the College football games, it would be nice to have like a 2nd and 3rd team substitution option. for pre-season that first game the starters usually play about a series or two. The second game they play a quarter or half. the third game they usually play about 3 quarter for the dress rehearsal. and the fourth game the starters don't play at all. Also for blow outs in the regular season, the 2nd and 3rd string sub option would be great.

i would like to know why you guys decided to remove all the logos for creat a team. i remember in 08, there were alot of logos ranging from generic to letters(which i realy like).
are you planning on bringing any of those back because the ones that are presently hear now, realy make it hard for creative diversity.
i mean, c'mon, a bulldog is a bulldog, a crocodile is a crocodile. A letter "A" can be anything from alphas, to astronauts. i hope you get my picture

I was just wondering (and this may be the wrong forum or may have been brought up) will there be a playbook editor feature in the future where u can create your own playbook out of existing plays or plays created by the user?
