More Wide Receiver Animationsss



a game were our WR actually go for the ball as much as the CB or even more so




THISS!!

Double Covered and still players like laryy fitz make em payy


^Simply amazing

every deep ball catch by a WR doesn't have to end up landing on his feet either sometimes these spectacular catches the WR ends up on his back because he had to stretch for the ball so much

i wanna see the helmets come off the players heads after a brudle hit i loved it when they had it in 05'

try n make the jerseys come off a lil when the defender grabs them n u can see the shoulder pads that would make the game so much real.

i also wanna see better jukein and a nicer truckin system cuz i love seein a big running back jus runnin over a lil defender hypes me up so much get dat done plz

8 man practice squads

expanded pre-season rosters to some extent (something like 68 players)

working IR

multi team trading

being able to trade future draft picks (about 2-3 years ahead)

create plays

create a player in franchise mode and being able to choose to put them in the upcoming draft or not would be kinda cool

customized play books

formation substitutions that are saved in franchise

more contract options

more realistic contracts where you don't have players in the 70s wanting upper 80s contracts, etc.

minimum roster requirements. They need to be lowered by 1 at a few positions. T & G require 4 each when a lot of teams run with 3 of each.

secondary positions for players. Some players can play QB, RB & WR or OLB & DE or TE & FB, etc.

more camera options

building new stadium for teams in franchise mode without having to relocate

- make the jerseys come off the shoulders n sho the jersey under the shoulder pads when a defender grabs u it happens all the time in the nfl

-i wanna see more brutel hits it pumps me up when i get a nice hit and get a better truck stick system i love when a big running back jus completely runs over a small defender

- better jukeing system its okay now but it can be a lil more intense

- and this is suposed to be the most relistic madden ever why doesnt any players have tattoos the players would look so much more real almost every player has 1 and they always put it in the nba live games so it shouldent be that much harder to put it in madden 11

- and make the super bowl a once in a life time game make it the game of the year it jus seems like its jus onther sunday in madden 10 jus put a lil more effert in the super bowel for madden 11

- and make the helmets come off after a crazy hard hit i loved it when i used to do it in madden 06'
this is just sum things that could make madden a lil more realistic

I would love to see Ocho Cinco's gold golves n cleats from the Denver game!! They were sweet!!

Also I agree with most other things --- definately better play by play and more commentary maybe even sideline and a half time behind the desk ESPN style. Would love for there to be a noticeble differance between Monday night and Sunday broadcasts. And give us a true Turkey Day game with the Lions and Cowboys and an AFC option like they do in real life!!

Thanks EA!!!

NFL Superstar
This mode is by far the weakest mode of the game. Some type of adjustment needs to be made about this. This year we heard so much hype about additions to online gameplay which were cool but what about the additions to gamer modes to progress. Here are some ways I would go about accomplishing changes to this mode.

-THE ABILITY TO BE TRADED WITHOUT REQUESTING ONE. many times real nfl players are traded and have no control over the decision landing them in new situations on new teams. This is something seen often in the NFL. whether its a player being traded for draft picks,a player doesnt fit the coaches, scheme or the team wants to get rid of a old savey vet. This would be possibly a nice addition to this mode of the game.
-POST GAME INTERVIEW/CONFERENCE after a big performance in a game. Since the series focus on authenticity this year this is an aspect that we often see.We see a reporter in front of players after memorable performances in games.
-PRACTICE IMPROVEMENTS need to be adress. A practice at any level of football is not only inclusive of a scrimmage. Players are involve in numer position drills that improve the players skill and technique.These position specific drills should be added to the game to help improve your players attributes.Then the scimmage is for knowledge of the required assignment which should be include all in one practice to improve the awareness of a player.
- DRAFT ADJUSTMENTS would be nice. To enter with a CPU created draft class should be in place. Because you cant measure how elite your player is if he is drafted with players in the second round. Capturing the draft experience from a players prospective would be cool. Also a team drafts you according to their needs, overall rating, and player skill set. For example my road to glory player has an OVR rating of a 83 at RB but I was drafted by the panthers and have to work my way to a 96 OVR (to beat out DeAngelo) Realistically the panthers organization wouldn’t draft another elite player at this position unless they plan on getting rid of the other players. This would be different if I was a speed back drafted by the cardinals to be a 3rd down and change of pace back separate from Beanie Wells. It is common to see a 1-2 punch with this copy cat league.
- The option to NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS. This is pivotal in the NFL and should be added to the game. Many players rookie or veteran have disputes with teams over contracts. As a user we should determine the amount of money our player should make.

Franchise
This is another area that needs to be improved. Its is practically the same as last years. It needs to finally take a step forward. Here are some suggestions to help accomplish this.

-WORTH IN PRACTICE. Practice should be available to help improve the ratings of a player along with their performance on Sunday.
- GAMEPLANING. I believe this was available on current gen games of the series but it should make a return. This mode within franchise should allow the team to watch film to be prepare for your next opponent and what they plan to do in the game. This can be used as a key to help during the game knowing what the other team likes to do.

Gameplay
This is the area that needs improving the most. Many things are wrong with this aspect of the game.

- CPU PLAYING STYLE. This should seriously be taken a look at many times in games that I have played. The CPU plays totally different to how the team plays in actual games on Sunday. Sometimes you might play a team like the Vikings who strength is running the ball with Adrian Peterson but the CPU will only give him the ball 10 times instead throw the ball 30 times and find great success. How is this possible? The passing offense of the Vikings alone can not beat many of the elite defenses in the NFL. I would rather the CPU try to make an adjustment if the user is successfully stopping the run but to completely change the playing style of a team is ridiculous

-TEAM SPECIFIC DEFENSIVE PLAYS. This would definitely add a more realistic feel to the game. And it is evident that just because a defense has the same scheme doesn’t mean that they have the same formations or plays.

-BETTER O-LINE AI. I love the pocket formed in madden but many times the addition is not helpful when your premier o-lineman cant recognize blitz and stunts from the defensive line resulting in bad throws and plenty sacks.

-SIDELINE AWARNESS. Too many times in the game are receivers un aware of where they are on the field and run routes out of bounds. Just adding sideline catches could improve this.

-DB ANIMATIONS. Improvement in this is seriously needed. In this years addition of the game the defender turns his back to the receiver and runs the route better than the receiver then without even locating the ball he turns around for an impossible interception. This was a big issue a needs to be fixed. Also in the NFL we see WR and DB interact and fight for position for the ball. This should be implemented in the Game.

-SPECTACULAR CATCHES. Why do players have a rating that doesn’t have an animation. Players with high spectacular catch ratings should be able to make one hand catches, sideline catches, and just catches that are incredible. More animations like these are needed.

i want the ability to make your own plays, would be awesome

MAJOR MADDEN FAN

CREATE A PLAYBOOK

Please bring Create-A-Playbook back. I started a franchise with the eagles and with young recievers, I relied on my running backs in the passing game. But as the years progressed Maclin, Jackson and Johnson (A reciever I drafted) we're all 90 OVR. So I started using the patriots playbook for my recievers. But I want to be able to mix the patriots playbook with the Eagles playbook to get the best of both worlds. This was possible with the Create-A-Playbook feature.

On the old systems, we we're able to create our own play. That was great except you only had the option to run or pass. I would like to see improovements in this feature by allowing us to move a guy in motion, play action and even do reverses and HB passes.

MORE REALISTIC PASS RUSH

I must say the pass rush animations we're quite surprising. I love how more realistic guys look when rushing the passer. But it is almost impossible to sack the quarterback without a money play. 99% of my sacks we're done when the offense was in shotgun, and I did a cover 3 and brought my RE next to my LE. From there I was untouched almost every play! But it's almost impossible to get a sack in a 3-4 formation. I got sacked once during the season ( I use a rookie quarterback with speed 97 so that might help ). But one sack is unrealistic

INTERCEPTIONS

In the last couple of years, the madden series have reduced the amount of interceptions in a game to make it more realistic to the amount thrown in a real game. But the fact is, gamers aren't as smart as real quarterbacks. So if a ball is thrown in the chest of my linebacker, I expect him to catch it! I don't care who you are, if the ball flops up in the air because a quarterback got hit as he threw, and no one but your linebacker is around, he should catch the ball! Great Cornerbacks like Asante Samuel or Champ Bailey shouldn't drop a pass when they cut the curl route!

CHALLENGES

Like in a real game, we should be able to decide if we want to challenge the catch, the spot of the ball or the fumble, period.

INJURIES

I traded for felix jones considering he's fast and he could help me in the passing game. Now I know he might not be an iron man like brett favre or ray lewis, but can someone please explain to me why he gets hurt 3 times a game?!?! Has this ever happened before in real life?!?! NO.

FUMBLES

I watched the monday night football game in week 2: Dallas vs Giants. Felix Jones did his FIRST fumble of his career in that game. So how can he fumble the ball a minimum of two times during a madden 10 game? I know I play at My Skill (785) and that computers will be alot harder to play against, but fumbling that many times is unrealistic.

SPECTACULAR CATCH

Someone in this thread mentioned this: if someone like Randy Moss or Larry Fitzgerald has 99 for spectacular catch, he should win 90% of 1-1 battles. And as mentionned above, the reciever doesn't have to stay up when catching the ball. Many catches are made resulting in the reciever to fall to the ground because he had to dive for the catch. Recievers should fight for position and fight to go up and get the ball! Ratings have improoved alot this year, but they need adjustments in this area.

That's all I have for now. Creat-A-Playbook is what I want back the most. I've bought the last 3 games the day they came out and I'm looking foward to doing so again this year! Great job boys, keep it up! I'll write more wishes if I think of more

I also forgot,

SIDELINE AWARENESS!

The players look like plastic. They all wear the number 00 and all have the same faces. If it takes too much space to make the actual team, at least have 6-7 different faces and have different numbers for every player. But the idealistic thing, would be to see your defense on the sideline while your offense is on the field

SUPERBOWL

Just feels like another game, except fot Chris saying something like " this is the superbowl, the greatest game of the year. This is where everyone has a shot to mark their names in history. Who will it be tonight?". Playoffs in general feel the same to the exception of the computers difficulty level rising.

HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE

Look at NCAA; they have stadiums that shake the entire screen and the controller almost falls from your hand when the opposing team's offense is on the field. They can't see their routes, or the icon over the recievers. For the Hot Routing, loud stadiums should make the reciever run the wrong route as if he heard the wrong audible. Loud noise can also create false starts and delay of games. Fans can change a game.

Now I believe I'm done... for now

Madden 2011 should include: 1) A harder hitting ''Hit Stick"
2) In creation zone have a place where you can create plays, like in head coach 09.
3) In create-a-team mode give more logos to choose from, and better, more modern jerseys when you create-a-team, and pants, and etc...
4) Add Hand towels in the stands with fans swinging them!
5) Better fades and catches in the back of the end zone.
6) Ability to trade for future draft picks or for money.
7) Joe Buck and Troy Akiman should commentate.
8 ) After players get hit hard, they should taunt the person they just laid out!

Few things i think could be added/approved:

1. Fade Routes... An actual jump ball where they battle for position and go for the ball at its highest point.
2. Wildcat-Can't scramble while picking pass play in the wildcat. (Same with HB Pass and WR Pass)
3. More sacks by elite linemen (Not many tackles can handle the top linemen such as Freeney, Allen, Mario Williams, Dockett, Peppers etc. one on one)
4. Taunting would be cool after a big hit or great catch by reciever.

All I have.... Thanks you guys do a great job!!

CUSTOM PLAYBOOK PLEASE!!

Has anyone seen previews for that football game backbreaker because their naturalmotion engine is amazing
i wonder if ea could use it for madden down the road

get rid off all the canned animations and build a new physics engine

this game will never be sim intil EA spends time and money to make a new physics based football game
