Superstar mode can be made great and massive edition to Madden 11, i suggest that the designers go and look at NHL 10 the be a pro mode is awsome.....

1. Have your player interact with other players for example your a QB you just passed a perfect ball down to your WR he drops it, you have the option on what to say to him using the d pad, positive or negative comments depending on what type of leader you want to be or maybe you just want to show your frustration.

2. Your limited to only seeing your player from behind during the plays and then when play stops it shows you the stadium or something, i want to be in the huddle giving the play or receiving a play.

3. If your the QB be able to have control during hand off's with a quick flick of the right anolog stick.

4. When you make a big mistake have you Coach ball you out, but praise you if you make good play.

5. Have more control when you a WR, HB or QB when blocking.

6 Please please please make training better running one play 10 times gets boring.

7. Deal With the press

8. Study for your next game. Example have questions on players or plays, depending on your score with the questions effect your awarness.

9. Have personal training, weights, sprints, catching, passing, blocking and tackle drills ect. You should have in your passing drills directly for accuracy, arm strngth ect ect.

10. Call out players who you think are a threat to blitzing, ect ect

11. Fight for your place on the roster like in NCAA using the point system

12. Go through the draft system have a combine, personal workouts, even a game that all the top players of colllege play to help improve your selection.

12. Have your player drafted in the following years draft so instead of the 2011 draft make it 2012.

Edit: Smaller coach wrist bands, towls in the middle or the side of the player, handwarmer options to have behind or infront. Have a wrist band in the middle of the forarm. When you edit a player like Brady you loose all the comentry about him whats that all about? change hair style, beards and more face options, rib protectors and back plates.

GAMEPLAY.
1. Sort out COMP AI the only the way they score is by a big play and it throws players stats out of wack
2. Cut down the irate throws when being hit
3. Sort out WR cuts and players jukes they are far to slow
4 have differnt types of weather during the game showers then sunny ect

These are things i think the others have missed but all their ideas are great

Bring back madden 09 superstar mode!

it was so realistic, the draft, the way you created your player (instead of just rationing points to important stats, those drills from last year were SO COOL), the off season, the player's skill progress, THE WHOLE THING WAS FUN TO PLAY, I made i had 10 superstars last year, (QB RB FB O-line TE WR D-line LB CB FS) and they were all fun (except O-line lol) I've made 2 superstars this year and after once i created my guy i lost interest, ITS NOT PERSONALIZED ENOUGH, I HATE SUPERSTAR MODE NOW.

Be able to create a stadium in franchise mode with out having to relocate

Also make more options for creating a stadium. there is only like 4 different endzone options(for the actual stadium not the endzone on field)

Also if a team is a dome team with a retractable roof give us the option to have it opened or closed

make the snow more realistic. all it is is a little white on the field i don't think new england looks like that in december

Being able to keep same mascot and jersey in franchise mode when you relocate.

Also in franchise mode make the draft better. there are really not a lot of good players at cb & dt. Also make people drafted actually increase to a 99 a few times when you get deep in franchise mode sometimes there is not even a 98.

Also if you are playing with a team in franchise mode let the players increase there ratings more on there stats. There has been to many times that I have a QB like Curtis Painter who starts off somewhere in the 60s and after like 4 of years of starting him and throwing over 4,000 yards and 40 tds every season he has only increased to a low 70s. In real life if someone played like that for that long im sure you would not have his rating at a 73overall.

I would like to see more sacks for the user. I usually play in the secondary and i play a 4-3 and have like jared allen and like justin tuck at de and they hardly ever get sacks they would have like 6 sacks each at the end of the season

Anyway I hope you make the changes to madden and have it for madden 11

By the way is an awesome game (Madden 10) but there is still some room for improvement ecspecially in franchise mode

I miss being able to create plays and mix them into a playbook. You should be able to create plays and plug them into your everyday play book like you could in the past. I think that we shouldnt even hafta wait until 11 I will pay money for an update involving create a play. Shoot I would pay 20 bucks for that.

Here is my wishlist (sorry if i copied u, i didn't read all the posts.):

1) cheerleaders with their real uniforms showing enthusiasm
2) a team mascot (if they have one)
3) the weather should change. it should rain, snow, or anything like that for the whole game. it should change. if it rains, it can later stop, then go back on.
4) change the replays. when a good play has been played and it goes to replay, no one is even talking. have them like talk about the play and show what helped it become a very good play, like a good block or someone slipped.
5) if there is like 30 seconds left and down by 6 points and the losing team makes a touchdown, make them more happy. it just shows the player who made the touchdown tackled by his own player. make them like dance and the whole team on the field congratulate him.
6) when an injury occurs, they "say" that he was on a cart, but it doesn't "show." at least show some of it. and we can skip it if we want.
7)show all the uniform throwbacks from all teams.
let us chose what we are challenging about, not the computer
9) show like the other mascots. for the patriots, it's a group of people in uniforms shooting muskets.
10) show us like ESPN halftime shows and end of the week shows in the franchise mode with like Chris Berman. Not that one horrible chick and other guy in "The Extra Point." show like other good plays from AI played games.
11) no showing the quarterback getting hit and losing the football when it looks like he already release it before.
12) show more of the crowd being pumped up. especially in a very close game or even a tied game
13) when a player gets hit, show some players helmets getting pulled off
14) sometimes players get into small little fights, show that.
15) show better penalties. show like a player hitting another player and getting called for unnecessary roughness
16) show the sideline players, coaches, waterboys, etc. showing more enthusiasm. their just clapping. FOR EVERYTHING. EVEN FOR THE OTHER TEAM.
17) also, when a player hits the cone near the endzone, make the cone move.
1 in the superbowl, there was no sound, music, or anything! make the superbowls more exciting, people chanting yelling and MUSIC! also make like the entire press come out and start interviewing. also show the players who are about to win the superbowl start hugging and high-fiving. make the dropping of gatorade on the coaches more realistic
19) make the commentators better. when brandon stokley in week 1 of the 2009 NFL caught the tipped pass and made an amazing catch, the commentator was out of breath. make them like more enthusiastic about an interception, fumble, or a last second sack.
20) in the beginning, show the referees asking what the visitor wants to choose in the toin coss.
21) show the stadiums like more real. the oakland raiders field has a baseball field.
22) when the QB makes an interception, show them taking off the straps on their helmets and get a close up on their face with sweat and face-paint.
23)when an interception does occur, the coach is yelling at the receiver. show different angles and scenes yelling at the QB or WR.
24) with 1-yard to the endzone, when a RB dives, show them dive into the endzone and like the ball moving almost out of their hands when it hits the ground
25) show some of the players at least drinking gatorade
26) show the coaches congratulating the other players and coaches more descriptively.
27)when it is raining or snowing, show the players slipping like they are sliding for a base in baseball but not on purpose
that is the list

My biggest problem outside of game-play is the create-a-team option. There are literally some of the same logos on there from Madden 2001 or close to that. What about more helmet logo options for the provided logos? How about for those logos that are cool as an identity but horrible on the side of a helmet have an alternate logo that is unique (i.e. Vikings, Seahawks, Rams, Eagles, Bengals) or at least let us adjust the size. Some of the provided logos are so small on the side of the helmet they look ridiculous. They would be functional if you could see them.

How about the ability to load a gif or eps image for our own logo... I don't think that technology is asking too much... or how about an online create-a-team option like in NCAA to use in an offline franchise that is saved as a created team file? Use the technology you have. Use the interface of college football. Upload custom gif/eps files and provide an eyedropper tool to the closest rgb of the colors in the logo file. I'm not saying EA has to overhaul the system every year but is it asking too much too add a little every year and maybe take some away?

The logos are horrible and the interface is horrible. If I create a team or relocate a team and create a jersey with custom colors... when you edit the jerseys later on or make changes, the game doesn't save your custom colors which is really irritating if you make a gold color. You have to take it upon yourself to write down the color mixture codes to change your uniform. How about bring back secondary number colors? The option of relocating your team is a fun and great idea to people deep in a franchise, but why relocate to have your team look like a high school team.

I'd also like to be able to at least keep my teams helmet. I understand that because of some idiotic licensing law that the teams appearance can't be altered (which is idiotic because it is being enjoyed in the confines of someones living quarters) but at least let me keep the helmet and design new jerseys, like SO MANY NFL teams do (i.e. Vikings, Cardinals, Patriots, Bengals, Saints). I also wonder why all number fonts aren't available. Some teams have custom numbering that has obviously already been programmed into the game for the actual teams... why can't they be used in create-a-team (i.e. Lions, Texans, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Cardinals) They used to have the numbers for the Titans and Eagles available... and I'm sure the number fonts for the Steelers, Bears, and Broncos are still available which means it can be done.

One last thing... because we can't alter the appearance of any existing teams to duplicate a team changing logos or uniforms, at lease provide us with some stock images of teams animals to use. Give me a big "G" or bring back the paw/jet/panther/tiger/cardinal/skull so I can at least pretend the team changed its appearance. Bring back the option to pick off of team rosters for a custom team so I don't have to write down the Dolphins entire roster and scroll through every position in the game to find their players in order to recreate the team... this sucks most of all.

I lied about the one last thing. Since EA cares so much about it's bottom line and making money... Have new logo sets and numbers and custom creation images and options be purchasable from the PlayStation store. That way the people who want this content can have it and you get your money. The PlayStation store is not being utilized enough although the AFL download made me smile.

Thanks EA... hopefully you'll listen.

Improve franchise and forget about superstar

These ideas all relate to franchise which is 95% of how I play this game.

(1) Give us access to the CPU team's depth charts. They get so screwed up that with a few line injuries I've palyed games where the other team's punter is at OG. The idea that we as players would cheat it is stupid because as the saying goes we would only be cheating ourselves.

(2) Improve AI decision making and play calling. When the AI is behind in the 4th qtr they'll pass up FG tries when it is the best option. Worse yet they'll go for a 4th and 20 on their own 8, but yet not go for it at the 50.

(3) I've posted this in other locations, but the new draft classes are great. Just add a step that randomizes the Names, Colleges and faces and they can be limitless. For someone who plays a lot of Franchise mode, I'll start another one with a different team and recognize players in the scouting/draft from before.

(4) Always keep the accelerated clock available, there is no way to get realistic stats out of 5 minute quarters. I personally play with 15 min/20sec accel.

(5) Putting our own playbook together, not designing new plays, just putting the plays together would be a bonus.

(6) Trading future draft picks.

(7) Practice squad or some way to deal with adding players for injury without having to drop players.

I Think one of the best things to fix is to keep the players from running though the walls..

The players should just jump into the crowd and the fan go crazy over him and stuff!!..??

something else to add.....
Does any one else get annoyed with the catching of all players? My biggest problem is when a pass gets tipped by you d line and he ball is floating up in the a LB comes in for the catch it just bounces off his hand chest or even helmet, come on If a defender is around 9 times out of 10 his going to catch it. O and by the way all WR are not braylon edwards or clayton so if it is an easy pass no other player is around im sure they catch it. Also please change the catching animation, the amount of times i have thrown a post and corner route i have thrown the perfect pass but its always the same animation.....

Picture this your about to be sacked you have a TE just in front of you or a RB to the side or behind you, but you cant do anything accept take the sack, how about introducing a lateral, pitch or shovel pass button like in NCAA 9.

I use the Browns and I play on All-Pro.

Stuff that happens in my Franchise that I wish didn't happen:

In Game:

1) Darren Sproles perfectly blocked Shaun Rogers every time he was about to sack the QB. He stood right up with him and he was never able to get around him. I am taller than Darren Sproles and Shaun Rogers is a small van. Sproles should not be able to do anything other than get run over by Rogers.

2) My Saftey Elam went down for the season. I wanted to replace him. I put him on IR. After putting him on IR, I tried to sign a new Saftey. Couldn't do it because my roster was maxed out. Isn't this the WHOLE POINT of IR...? I tried to release Elam to sign a new Saftey. Couldn't do it because he was injured. Had to release my 4th Running Back to sign a new Saftey.

3) Braylon Edwards hasn't ever caught a deep bomb that was single covered. Now while this may be accurate in real life, neither has Randy Moss when I use the Patriots... The Receivers should be able to go up and make a catch. It shouldn't automatically be batted down every time, no matter who the defender and who the receiver.

4) The one time I get into the backfield untouched with Kameron Wimbley I was about to crush the QB. Only problem was that the QB was in the "hand the ball off animation" so Wimbley just bounced right off of him and the RB. The RB then scored a 50 yard touchdown.

5) Not every Offensive Lineman should play like they're a 99. There is zero reaction time from the O-Line. They can perfectly dart out and cover anyone blitzing.

6) No-Look interceptions.

7) No-Look pass defenses.

8 ) When I'm controlling a ball carrier, sometimes his animation will stop for a tenth of a second or so.. He will just pause. But the defenders are still running at full speed. Why does the animation pause and allow the defense to catch up to my ball carrier?

9) After their contract is up, why do my coaches just vanish? Why dont I get an option to match the offer they get from other teams?

10) A very annoying advertisement for McDonalds started popping up in the corner before every single snap... That's pretty much just annoying. It doesn't make me want to go and get McDonalds. It makes me want to turn the game off.

11) I think ANY player should be able to play at ANY position. If I want to put Shaun Rogers in at Halfback for one play, why can't I? And there is no substitution when you pick plays by play type. You have to pick by Formation type. And then you can't sub anyone but designated players. At HB you can only sub in a FB, WR, or TE. Let me sub in ANYONE.

12) When the ball is tipped, it doesn't seem logical that the animation would flow immediately into a tackle. The defender would probably just hit the ground - not magically tackle the receiver.

13) I played the Superbowl in Dallas Stadium. It was raining.


That's about it. This is what stands out to me. These other guys go way more in depth, but this is the stuff that just a casual player notices.

In madden 11 any user should be able to make their own playbook, creating there own formations, there own plays, adding plays and adding formations, from the original playbook, everyone wants to make there own playbook and run their type of football game and not use the same plays every1 else is given, u no u would lilke scoring on a play that u made.....also formation subs should be avaiable it makes everything easier for people not having to sub in and out and in and out....also the wildcat should be a llittle more advanced....Kick offs sometimes teams set up in their regular kickoff and everything lokks the same but they kick a little short kick over the 10 yard line for an onsides kick....sometimes on the kick return they do a little fake hand off or reverse, it be nice to have that....noone wants the game to be based on trick plays but itd be nice to have a few more, they dnt hav to work perfect but having the option to run it is nice.....i dont know about anyone else but if my QB has any speed the option would be helpful to a drive or 2.....on the 4th and short a team will run to the line and call hike real quick and the Qb will dive for the first but there is a huge pile so no1 can really tell if he made it and then all the players roll of and they bring out the chains, so im saying there needs to be a quick snap and a big pile of diving players pushing the pile back.....also the WR screens are much more effictive in real life than Madden....most of the time you see a running back run and get tripped up and fall for another 3 yards but in Madden if they get a good hit on them they get 1 more yard at the most.....also i think players characteristics and features and traditons should be added, like if players have big attitude u can see them smack talkins between a play or people have certain touchdown dances they do, or people do others to make fun of them, so u should be a ble to customize ur dances.....if a player gets hurt during the game 90 percent of the time they comeback in the game but in real life someitimes the ambulance have to come....and exciting stuff like 1 out of every 200 games the ref gets hurt or a coach gets kicked out or mascots start fighting or anything like a man streaking onto the feild and steals the football from the QB like bengals vs packer, dont make the game crazy but every like 300 games something happens but they dont tell ......celebertys coming to the game and timeout kids challenges and check recieves......big fireworks and a fly over be4 the game of how the team opens up the game.....quarterbacks being able to hit the open man as he is falling or getting hit, outstanding catches, tip catches, the good recievers catching the ball over the corner, less penatlys, crack back and the outstanding blocks, blocking more than person once ur dun with the first person, alot of touchdowns end up reaching out for the pylon and touching it, or reaching out over the goaline at the last second or just completly jumping your body as u get hit but you still made it in.........defense, most lineman use moves on the line instead of running straight at ther opponet, also players blitzing and lineman put ther hands up alot and smack down the ball dont see that to much, better abgles and more hits as the player is going down, they are all solo tackles and no gain tackles, those huge hits that gets everyone pumped for, sometimes hav helmet come off to get them really pumped, more tip interceptions and barely any dropped picks that are straight to you, more diving and swatting the ball out of the way, on a turnover you want to score and more players getting in front of for lead blocking....kicking field goals should be a little easier because no1 misses to much field goals..............and remeber customization for alot of things

1. Get the nano blitzes out of the game.
2. 3rd and long should rarely be converted, or should take a really skilled player.
3. Get balance between running and passing. Too hard to run effectively, and too easy to pass, especailly longer passes. Goes with number 2 above. Games should be strategy with teams forced to mix it up.
4. Set up a menu for "quick audible" pre-planned assignments (e.g. Bailey play man to man on Moss).
5. Have a game plan where you can hand out a set of defensive assignments in advance.
6. Tone down the break tackle plays. It should be for high power and speed players.
7. Limit the Qbs ability to evade the rush by taking ridiculous deep drops.
8. AI players on D need to stop being such morons. If I miss assignments with my controlled player fine, but the rest of the players should not be so dumb.
9. Play action passing is close to broken, too easy to overrun it without consequences.
10. Disconnect Qb ratings from pass catcher ratings when determining the outcome of a play. If a crappy QB manages to hit a top notch receiver in the numbers, it should be a catch almost every time.
11. Get more gadget plays like reverses and half back passes in the playbooks.
12. Get rid of the stupid button mashing fumble recovery exercise.
13. Allow pre-determined substitions, e.g. power back specialists on goal line and short yardage.
14. Allow the D to call and set pre-play calls before the O calls it's play.
15. Fix the QB throwing so that you can intentionally throw balls that are only catchable by the receiver (e.g. way high and to the outside. Also fix the ridiculous short underthows that happen too often. Most NFL QBs tend to overthrow rather than underthrow.
16. Should be more offensive penalties (e.g. false starts).
17. Defensive player should catch more balls that hit them right in the hands.
18. Nobody ever seem to catch those balls bobbled and popped up in the air on either side.
19. Receivers rarely make diving catches, too many catches made standing up compared to a Sunday game.
20. Should be able to custom set onside kick alignments and kick return plays.

Make a new position for wildcat QB I get so mad when I play with the Eagles and can't use Mike Vick in the wildcat

xbox.A rAnDom HoBoXx wrote:Make a new position for wildcat QB I get so mad when I play with the Eagles and can't use Mike Vick in the wildcat

You can use Vick in the wildcat. There is a backup QB package (make sure you set him as the backup QB on the depth chart).
