1. I would like for the Superstar to be life like instead of starting right when you get into nfl. Also the rookie workouts to be brought back.

2. A play maker would be nice.

3. I hate shoestring tackles if possible make those less effective

I would like to see improvements to the online franchise mode.
#1- add a practice mode so u can practice with your team in that franchise.
#2- add export rosters so u can play with your team in unranked matches or offline.
#3- add awards to the mode (mvp,rookie of the year,defensive player of the year,etc. also u can show who made pro bowl with out being able to play it or have the two losing owners of the afc and nfc championship game play the probowl.
#4-Maybe a trophy case to see awards and super bowl trophys.
#5- salary cap in some format.
Try to make it a little more like the offline franchise mode. i have a league this year and we are in year 4 on week 15 so i am working with what we have but i would like to see some improvements in madden 11. Also u should update online franchise rosters along with online roster so if i start a franchise in november i should have november rosters when i start.

I think that u should be able to take an existing football team and completley change their uniform and colors. And also with the create a team feat. U should be able to make it like a real NFL team

okay wheres what i would do to make madden 11 great make it like you watching a game on tv have all networks that cover the nfl actually in the game if you pick a nfc team in your franchise most of your games will be on fox and you pick an afc team your games will be on cbs sunday night games will be on nbc and monday night games will be on espn and if you could have thursday night games on nfl network and heres the commentary cause im so sick of tom hammond saying the same thing over and over so i have come up with this idea have the voices from each network call the game you are playinj nbc,cbs,fox,espn that would be if y'all could do that cause no disrespect to tom hammond but ge only calls one game a year and thats the first playoff game

I HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD IDEAS TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?

First Ill tell you what it needs then ill tell you what it could go without.

1- THE MOST IMPORTANT THING MADDEN NEEDS is a create a playbook mode.

1a- This mode should offer complete control. I should be able to make any formation possible within the rules. Also they should offer predetermined motion control and option plays should be makeable. Lastly I should be able to put any player at any postion.

aa- Predetermined motion control is the a predetermined motion before the snap made by the user that will take effect when you snap the ball.

ab- Your User created playbooks should be available to use online.

2- Offensive and Defensive playbooks need to be improved.

2a- They need to be way more team specific according to the teams offensive and defensive strategies.

2b- Their needs to be more plays in them.

3- ONE OF MY FAVORITE IDEAS IS some defensive plays have predetermined motion in them.

[b]3a- If you don't understand Ill tell you what this is.

aa-- The ability to show blitzes from any player before the snap which allows you to show different fronts and looks presnap. Or on certain plays you could have one down lineman and have everybody else just wandering around to confuse the offense. Or lastly have D-lineman start in a 3 point stance then jump back before the snap and into linebacker positon ext.,

3b- This should be available in the Create a playbook mode.

4- Passing Game needs some Tweaks and Ill tell you how to do it.

4a- Pass rush needs work done to it.

aa- Passing Pocket needs to be better formed. If a Qb drops back too far it should give better angles for the DEs making the Qb step up in the pocket.

ab- Offensive Lineman and Defensive Lineman Engagment should be more dynamic. I think you do this by making the joystick control while engaged more Interactive. EXAMPLE- If I rush the Qb and engage with an O-lineman I should be able to use the joystick to get around him by manuevering it in different ways. Also the engagement animations should be unique to who or what type of player is rushing or blitzing. Speed rushers use speed and acceleration Strong players use stength. This makes shedding blocks, stopping the run, and pass rushing much more fun for the User and gives the game a more authentic feel.

4b- QB Accuracy in different situations and in general.

aa- There needs to be a significant difference between Peyton Mannings throwing accuracy in the game and Jamarcus Russels.

ab- Qbs throwing of their backfoot should have negative accuracy and velocity results and should Rarely throw a catchable ball depending on the QB.

ac- Qbs scrambling should have some effects on their throwing accuracy and velocity depending on the QB being used.

ad- Qbs being pressured should have effects on their throwing accuracy and velocity.

5- QBs have certain throwing Adjustments they make depeniding on their attributes. THIS IS A GOOD IDEA!

5a- EXAMPLE- An accurate QB will adjust your throw so only the WR can catch it, his accuracy attribute will determine how often and accurate he does this.

5b- Bigger arm QBs will adjust your throwing velocity to benefit the throw. The stronger the arm the more often he corrects the throw and/or how effective he doing it.

5c- Smarter QBs adjust your bad decisions and/or throws. EXAMPLE- Your controlling Peyton Manning and you accidently throw into triple coverage. With my idea Peyton will automatically adjust the throw so no one can intercept it, pretty much just throwing it away but in the direction of your intended WR so you don't get a flag. Of course he won't do this everytime but he will do it way more often than a less aware QB.

5d- What these adjustments do is Dinstinguish playing with better QBs from bad QBs and increase the amount of imcomplete passes and decrease interceptions. Everytime I play Madden it seems like I either throw an interception or a complete pass, which is not authentic. Often QBs when pressured just throw the ball away near a WR or if no one is open they just throw it away in that direction. Also in past years There hasn't been much difference in throwing ability between Elite and Bad QBs, This Idea helps that and gives a QBs awareness rating some meaning.

6- Strategy in the Game has to be more prevelent.

6a- AI on the user teams and the cpu teams should adjust depending on the playcalling of each team.
aa- EXAMPLE- If I run the whole game and im effective, Safeties should move up, D-lineman should be less effective pass rushing because their expecting run, and linebackers should expect run so if they blitz they should be run blitzing if they play zone they are more tentative when the ball is snapped. Same thing pertains to the pass game.

7- Coaching Strategy in the franchise mode should be more in depth and should be explained better.

7a- The Coaching Strategy Menu should name the differnent strategies.

7b- I should have access to all the different types of offenses and defenses, ALL OF THEM, even Wildcat, Option, Spread, Spread Option. Same thing with Defense. We want total control.

7c- The strategy we set up should in Coaching Strategy should have an effect on how our team plays and how they select plays when simulated.

8- Franchise Mode needs some improvements.

8a- Coaching Strategy like I explained above.

8b- Scouting needs to be redone, needs to be more interactive.

8c- Player Progression needs to be depend on Performance, Age, and Player ambition.

8d- Opposing Teams need to draft and sign players that will benefit their "System"

8e- Expansion Teams. Maybe involving a simple owner mode.

8f- Gameplan/Scouting Report on next weeks opponent.

9- Things that are Disposable.

9a- Fumble Minigame, although I like the Pile up camera thing. but tapping buttons not fun.

9b- SUPERSTAR MODE. Not really fun practicing, most of it is just simulating anyways. Scrap this for a more in depth Franchise/Owner Mode.

9c- Madden Scenarios/Playable Historic Games. Who uses this anyways.

9d- All the minigames. If your going to keep it put it in the Franchise and make a combine. Doing this triples the amount of fun for Franchise. Take it offline too, no need there. Don't just put it in madden to make different game modes.

10- IN CONCLUSION- [b][u]IVE SPENT A LONG TIME MAKING THIS LIST SO I WOULD LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK, AND IF YOU LIKE SOME OF THESE IDEAS SPREAD THE WORD SO WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE TO MADDEN TO THE WAY WE LIKE IT. THANK YOU.

i wish that EA was an ethical company. but it's too late. people are leaving Madden faster than people leaving Haiti

i wish the colts would have there blue pants to select from on the uniforms selection. they had blue pants at one time in the 90's when they had jim harbaugh and bring back the colts uniforms they wore vs. the lions thanksgiving day 2004 (there helmets that day had two small horseshoes on the back of the helmet instead of two large ones on each side) those thanksgiving day uniforms you could select in one madden i forget the year sometime on ps2 or ps3 i forget

do some tweeking to the online franchise too like salary caps and year end rewards like mvp, rookie of the year, pro bowl etc...

I am a big madden fan it is the best sports game. i just want the gameplay to be a little more realistic stop having the cpu walk you down so much when you get a break away run. have the game harder to score. add hit stick 3.0 with harder hits with helmets flying, and have players jerseys come out after they get pulled on. also have players get hit and lose balance and catch themselves to stay up to continue running.

[b] ALRIGHTT!!

1. Go back to wear each quarterback has HIS REAL VOICE AND THERE OWN REAL AUDIBLES!!! PLEAASSEE!!!

2. Bigger variety in cleats and gloves: Reebok, Nike, Under Armour ,ETC.

3. Have Collinsworth not say the same things 5 times per games.

4. More fan celebrations : signs and stuff

5. Realistic Side line movements : players talking, drinking water/gatorade

6 . Super bowl has to be better overall PERIODDD!!!

I Think it would be kind of cool if WE could PICK WHERE the SuperBowl was played instead of just the Cities that are in the south side of U.S.-I know Detroit got its bid few years back, but I'd like to have some control of where its's at.

Also possibly having the ability of changing divisions/conferences (at least in the OFF-line Franchise)

OK madden please add the team up feature next year. You can make it like a 7 on 7 or something. Please add this. Also add the contracts and coaches to the online franchise. ALso change the draft classes. You really should allow us to export the draft classes from college football. I would ay just do like NCAA does and just take your offline franchise mode and just put it online. Thats easier. BUt my biggest one is the teamup feature. Please add this. If you add this i will probably play madden everyday. PLEASE DO THIS

It's not really needed (as Far as Importance and Priority Goes) But I would like them to find a way to Make older players look older-Brett Favre-Perfect Example


Oh Crap, this might be the only thing they add this year-Sorry Madden Peers lol

I think weather affecting the game would be awesome. Im a Green bay packers fan and it would be cool with snow or rain. Also make the deep passing game better cause it was hard to complete deep passes and green bay likes to go deep.

Also what would be cool would be when you play at a rivals stadium actually make the metrodome or superdome as loud as possible so it would effect games if they could actually record what they sound like and incorporate it into the games.

Have a composure feature so when your playing at stadiums how well your players stay composed like in college football or they dont hear qbs audible or what that would be cool.

More ways of challenging plays. Like arms going foward or if they kept possession of ball when receiving. Just more things you could challenge.

Incorporate espn so we could have sports center or show other games would be sweet. and have it so super bowl week is filled with the media. actually make it authentic. Also with 3 4 and have them play a 34 where maybe theres already options to disguise your defense or make it easier to change. and have it where u could put players in diff positions like de nickelback etc.

Maybe have rival weeks actually be like rivalry and trash tallking and the games u hit harder that would be cool and certain games have players introduced on offence and defense.

thats it tell me what you think.

Alright i am a die hard Madden fan I love the game it's incredible but its not perfect and you know if EA listened to the fans like they did with the online franchise then it might be perfect I'm not trying to trash talk on EA or anything I'm just pointing out the obvious alright here is what i think should be implemented into Madden 2011.

1. Fix the AIs they are always throwing the ball out of bounds and running out of bounds when they don't need to. Make seem like a real person is playing as that player.

2. They need to either bring back the old newspaper for franchise mode or they should make a new daily show like NFL Total Access make to where their is emotion to the game. They need to make the run to the playoffs really dramatic make it to where about week 12 or 13 is around that there is a playoff chase where it shows all the teams in control and all the teams that are in the hunt for that 5th or 6th seed spot. Make it to were if a team that is on the verge of not making the playoffs at a must win situation feeling.

3.EA should really make a pre-game show that shows the two teams season stats, player stats, record versus each other, season record, and finally they need to have a variety of commentators.

4. They need to make improvements on the halftime show not much just a little instead of showing just the top five plays of the half make each team have their own highlight reel also have it be were if a team is down by just a little that the people doing the halftime show will mention that the team losing is still in the game.

5.Post game show would also be really cool to have make it where the it says all the end game stats and what it means for both teams now that one lost and one won. They need to make it more emotional as well if you just lost you don't see your players just walking around like nothing happen or have the fans still moving around like the game is still going you see heads down and sadness and if your team wins you see them get really excited and happy especially in must win situations.

6.Have it to where if your playing a Sunday night game that it is presented by NBC or if you are playing Monday night game that it is presented by ESPN and the same for Thursday and Saturday games for NFL Network. Also have the commentators for each network as well as the look of how they present their games and how it sounds like eah network has their own football theme.

7. My final suggestion is that they should make it to where every player has an equal chance of being a superstar look at all the great players that have been drafted in the late rounds or not even drafted at all. No one knows how a terrible college player will play in the NFL look at Tom Brady, Willie Parker, and James Harrison three great players that didn't play much in college but are legends in the NFL.
