michael vick and barry sanders/marshall faulk need i say more. most dominate players ever on madden. quite as kept champ bailey was and his still one of the most feared db in the game and could play wr.
hit stick, passing cone(separate real ballers from fake), "boom his on his back" lol, highlight stick, all stiff arms juke moves, and carrying of the ball. hated spin move of old would just spin in 1 spot or a circle and break the tackle lol, speed burst, names, audibles
create your own playbook never could be used oline but loved having about 24-30 i form plays cause play calling was in 3 and didnt want to have 1 across the play calling screen.
nfl license cause there was no names back in the day just rb#35 lol so funny. and the use of more than just the playoff teams
st. louis rams team greatest show on console were unstoppable with faulk and az-zahir hakim was the scary one. they had to many weapons and they were all 90+ spd. hakim, holt, bruce and faulk.
all mini games for progressing ur players

Online, I havent played an offline game since 06 after hooking it up with my dad.
I think william perry aka the frige,emmitt smith,jerry rice,jim brown,deon sanders,steve young,terrel davis,dorsey levens,gary anderson,tim brown,eddie george,rich gannon,aeneas williams,andre reed,cris carter,bart starr,roger staubach,troy aikman,charles haley,bruce smith,derrick thomas,randall McDaniel,john elway,shannon sharpe,bob hayes,marcus allen,dan marino,harry carson,warren moon,bill willis,darrell green sean taylor,roger wehrli,and doug williams should all be in the Madden NFL Hall of Fame!
I'd like to nominate the real newspapers that were in Franchise mode back on last-gen consoles.
It was cool to see you team's stories on local papers, like the old Green Bay News Chronicle for the Packers or the New York Post for the Jets/Giants. Also, national stories were covered by the USA Today.
These papers, along with the Tony Bruno Show, gave the user a more-immersed feeling when playing Franchise mode.
Secondly, I'd like to nominate the Super Bowl celebration from Madden NFL 10. It's pretty realistic and it's cool to see the team hold up the Vince Lombardi trophy after winning the big game.
Also, I wanted to make sure I mentioned I heard about this from Pastapadre's site. Thanks!
Hit Stick The hit stick in my mind made playing defence in madden much more easy and added alot more fun to gameplay.
Thanks to Pastapadre's site for the link.

1- getting rid of the passing windows
2- franchise mode
3- putting names to the players instead of the numbers and the rating pages in the back of the book
4- playmaker (bring it back)
5- Madden 10 LOVE IT!!!!
Does anyone remember back in the super nintendo days madden you could push the jump button ( X i think) right before getting hit and you could not be tacklied as long as they hit u while u were in the air? You could run for over 500 a game easy, but the game didnt keep stats
I would like to nominate Madden 2010's offline Franchise Trade Logic:
In many past years of Madden, i would be playing a Franchise with 2 or 3 friends, and theres always that one person in Madden 09 that would sim to the last week of the season, (we set our teams up and simmed the season) trade a 2,3,4 round pick and get a first, then trade an old player for another first, and then trade an 80 overall saftey and 1st to get Tom Brady on the Ravens. It took away from the fun of the game. Franchise is all about taking teams with low success (Lions, Rams, Raiders) and trying to win a Super Bowl the old fashioned way, or taking a Great team and continuing on that path. And when Madden 2010 rolled around, and he tried the gimmick trading, and has since had to make fair trades, so he wants Brady, hes had to play with the Pats. Except the fact he now turns the Salary Cap off : / Thank you though, EA for an advanced Trade Logic!!!
I'M FROM PASTA PADRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superstar Mode from Madden 2006. It was the first time it came out and it was huge! Madden 06 also had the best version of Superstar Mode too. You were able to t do everything a player would do such as movies, train, request trades. It was the perfect version of a great mode.
Import a draft class should be in the hall of fame too. I love useing it. I get NCAA when it comes out to hold me over for the next Madden and all I do it play Dynasty and make draft classes. The Draft class idea has to be the most underrated feature in the Madden series!
EMTs with a reckless disregard for the health of any player except the one injured. Always a highlight of the game when it made an appearance. An absolute classic that should be one of the first inductees into the Madden HOF.
Thats my vote
Awesomest sig ever on these forums made by the great cj from cj's sig in madden off topic section.
Like Eminem I had an EA relapse.
You need to add:
Troy Aikman
John Elway
Dan Marino
Emmitt Smith
Lawrence Taylor
Franchise Mode:
Training Camp: Make an indepth training camp.
Coach remodeled: Let the coaches level up aswell, let Wade Phillips be a 85 overall coach, after a great training camp and great season let it go up, have coaches w/ potential aswell.
"The Extra Point": Around week 6 have them start talking about the next years draft, speak about teams and what their needs are, Discuss Trades; what each team got and who they believe benefited more from the trade, have mock drafts late in the season and show highlights from other games, show highlights from your game, talk about records being broken, talk about people potentially getting into the hall of fame, make it a 10 minute ESPN segment.
Readd the Newspapers from Madden 2006
Make neogiotians realistic, contact the player in week one you wish to negotiate a new contract, have them mail you around week four, and speak in week five, if you can't come to terms it starts again, make it the head coach 09 system.
Add mailbox, be able to mail other coaches, be able to mail your owner and GM, be able to speak to agents and the media.
Add Computer-Computer trades.
Player Statistics:
After the last Player Statistics update add a function to be able to edit players overalls and stats, unlock the Edit System for all players.
