Well down at themaddenlab I decided to start a thread about what I wanted and for others to add and this is what ended up happening...
Warning:This is a long long list....
* Momentum
* Better Jostling-at least from NCAA 10 it looks like it could be improved
*More animations for nearly everything..like I notice when two players are tussling around after a block after the play they just lift their arms...more (specific) TD celebrations(like the DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart celebration and so on..). Of course also more tackling/sacking/swatting animations. Last but of course not the least- better running animations.
* BETTER COMMENTARY-immersion is so important and right now the game commentary becomes so stale a few months in. I would like to see NFL Network, ABC and ESPN commentators throughout the season.
*TICKERS-This is another important thing for immersion..I really hate how there are no tickers mid game..and maybe this gives another thing for the commentators can..comment on-like whether this will effect the chances of that team getting in the playoffs or if it'll effect one of the teams in the game/any important events-such as an impact player becoming injured and will be out for a few weeks or a player breaking a record or just toppling over the league leader of whatever.
* Interactive Sidelines(At least seeing the players and cameramen look at the play instead of looking aimlessly down the other side of the field and maybe make the players run with a player down to the endzone on a BIG BIG play(maybe a wide open 60 yard pass to win the game while it expires, something big like that-although they would have to make the players on the sideline look good then...)
* More diverse playbooks
* Cheerleaders
* Optional feature dealing with morale that can be either turned off or sim'd to bring up morale-but if you say something wrong it could go down and to the point they demand a trade or will not re-sign with the team.
*Better Sign/Resign logic, I don't know about the logic(Was it only trade logic worked with?), but from my knowledge they didn't work on it. But I would love to see tendencies, so someone looking for big money will actually ask for more money than the other players...maybe if something with like the Ravens for example happen-the players who are released or decide to not resign are more likely to join the team with ex-players/coaches.
*I'd like to see a weekly ESPN Top 10 Highlights..halftime predictions from the commentators...pre game analysis(important players/injuries/what a team needs to do to win)
*Specific running animations for the big guys(RBs/WRs)
-If it isn't already in the game, different animations for passing for new draft QBs, different running animations for new RBs/WRs and kicking animations for new kickers...
*Stadium and Lighting progression..I want to see my fans leave if we are getting crushed etc.
*A superstar camera from inside the helmet.
*The legacy of the superstar should count..I should start in a little apartment with memorabilia from college to a large mansion with all of my MVP trophies.
*Working for my depth chart spot
*How I act should matter-if I am constantly complaining about my coaches or making the team look bad, don't have them resign me or have them trade me...
*Have actions off the field, after a practice I must be doing something...but make this optional..maybe like Road to Glory with a boost in skills based on what you do, like play Madden, go to a PT(Personal Trainer) etc. but only affecting for that week-except maybe you could go on the NFL network and it would heighten your chances to get in on the pro bowl, mvp awards etc. which I guess could help with...something :-), maybe how long your career can go on for...1
*The obvious need for videos instead of just pictures in the weekly show etc.
*Maybe a top 10 plays of the week with different music from the Madden 2011 Soundtrack.
*I wouldn't mind being able to be in control of advertising etc. in franchise again :-).
*Mini Camp Upgrade...what is with hands getting better because of lifting?(LBs)..and also kickers/punters getting better accuracy/strength by lifting and so on..I would also like going back to some of the older mini camp games, or maybe even a choice between some..like the coverage challenges for example.
*Pass/Run Commit BEFORE the play-people can't put EVERYONE in coverage and then run commit and it will be impossible to run/pass commit because you were hot routing a defender(No Mid/Left/Right for run commit though please :-))
*Build up on the broadcast camera, they have a vid up of what they are going to patch in and they really need more in it.
This one I pretty much covered but might as well go on more with it -Get tickers for other games going on that day-whether NFL, NBA, MLB or even golf.(For CPU v CPU they could have it over the score, game clock etc. but for PvP or PvC have it right above the score etc.)
-Get specific commentary for the tickers
-Tickers in franchise of games currently happening around the league and commentary for it
-In CPU games have a player breaking away for a TD on camera from view of the endzone(so he is shown from the front)-And/Or replays from a different camera angle. Something like this video shows sometimes(Sorry that this person put terrible music.. YouTube - NEW STEVE SMITH MIX
-I wouldn't mind a camera side flip once someone picks it off, I notice that also happens sometimes.
*The challenge system NEEDS an overhaul(What you want to challenge..)
*Some tackle animations need some refining and changes...I once got out of being tackled by spinning when I was a few inches from the ground with Beanie Wells..the pro tak tackles have suction tackling and finally these double tackles that keep happening.
From others, the first being from Deloz, guy who made "the features that madden would put into the future" on maddeniq :-), which should definitely be checked out.
1)Man Lock
2)Individual Coverage Audibles
3)Feature from PS2 Madden 09 that let you save hotrouted plays
4)Feature from PS2 Madden 10 where guys ratings change throughout the game
5)New Zone Assignments
6)Better and more creative man/zone defensive plays.
7)Slot screens, TE screens(Demo wasn't out), shovel passes, PA Toss
A few people for better co-op-(not just 2vCPU), for me at least I would think it would be best if play picking switches(So p1 goes, p2 goes, p3 goes, p4 goes and so on..)
1 (it makes some sense I guess-maybe if they give you having another good year then you will be resigned or that you can change your personality or the public/coaches and others will think of you before others, making it more of a possibility to get a better agent and so on...yea I am rambling.)

How are you going to make a 2011 wishlist, when 2010 has not been released yet nor have you played it?

Well they have already said they are starting on M11, we know what is in the game(except maybe a few things on the list) and they have said they want to see the priorities of things to put in/fix in M11. If there is something that is already in M10 just tell me...I don't know of any of those being in M10.

I actually agree with the OP here. Yea, 2010 isn't on store shelves yet, but its done. We have the demo and many months backlog blogging from the dev team about whats implemented.
Point is, we know whats in 2010. We know for a fact that physics and momentum isn't too much different than whats already implemented from previous titles.
The dev team has already had a couple of sitdowns to discuss the priorities for 2011, we know this, and thats not even mentioning the fact that Ian has already stated as much. So I say, why not a 2011 wishlist? No better time than the present.
Now I'm not saying the folks here at OS are the end all be all for the dev team, but we know for a fact that they're utilizing ideas from these forums. No sleep baby, lol. They've pretty much started on 2011, so I think they should be in here already locking it down for next year no doubt.
With that being stated. We have QB specific animations, and If I'm not mistaken, kickers animated differently. Next should be RB specific animations and more of a visual difference between players, ie RBs that are shorter and squat, RBs with the huge thighs, etc.
Work on the trenches and blocking assignments, and please try to implement more physics and momentum for bigger/heavier players vs smaller/lighter players.

Thanks :-). Anyways, I would like specific ones for incoming draftees, just totally randomized, or maybe based on if they are a precision passer or a scrambler and then randomized "signature" animations for the draftees.(I know there are already ones for the starters.) Oh and I can't believe I forgot about blocking assignments..they can be buggy at times on the demo.

Now that I have played Madden 11..
*GET RID OF LT...cheeser heaven right there...
*Playmaker..another part of cheeser heaven, just have Randy Moss go out on a PA X Clown play alone and playmaker until he is open or just send an RC with LT :|...
*TAP TO CATCH..not hold...stick skills=better game.(Make holding to catch only possible in rookie+pro)
I thought all of those things were out...man...it pisses me off that we were lied to(I heard with my own ears that playmaker was out on a radio show Ian and co. went on..)
*Blocking still needs fixing..I noticed that sometimes they just let them go right past..

ANIMATIONS-Add a ton more in every part of the game, the animations get old fast and half of them look unrealistic.....
-Better catch animations, more realistic catch animations, SIDELINE CATCH ANIMATIONS-PLEASE have players try to keep their feet in whenever you throw it towards the sideline. also better 1 HANDED CATCH animations they are exciting and there should be a few of them FIX CATCHING ITS TERRIBLE
COMMENTARY- get rid of hammond and add al michaels or chris berman or someone who has excitement and emotion-
-make close games and important games more exciting in terms of commentary-have them recognize big situations such as game winning catches- the announcers should go crazy , make it sound fluid not robotic
WEIGHT/MOMENTUM- better physics and make running a lot more realistic when they cut and change direction...
PLAYER DIFFERENTIATION- running styles would help, and also accessories such as sock length, FLAK jackets, BACK PLATES, NAME BRAND CLEATS,mouth guards, and short(not medium like in 10)sleeves, DIFFERENT JUKES for different players
MORE IN DEPTH DYNASTY- add tons of different storylines that play out every week like a player facing his former team, breaking a record, injuries, a receiver talking trash to a defensive player,player making prediction PLEASE ADD MORE STORYLINES they make dynasty interesting-have commentators talk about them HYPE UP STUFF IN DYNASTY MODE
-and make EXTRA POINT a lot better by adding more commentary during the highlights and showing the playoff picture and their chances/what they have to do.

Add a lot more to presentation although it has improved a lot this year...
MORE SCENES SHOWING PLAYER INTERACTION AND COACH/PLAYER INTERACTION AND FANS
MORE SCENES OF PLAYERS WARMING UP AND GETTING READY, AS WELL AS CELEBRATING...(deangelo and j. stewarts)
have better PRE/HALF/POST game shows have highlights and commentators talking about them as well as showing the highlights from other games around the league.....
BETTER SIDELINES
PROGRESSIVE LIGHTING
DIFFERENT BREAKAWAY CELEBRATIONS-have had the same ones for a while-please change
BETTER DIVING OVER THE GOAL-LINE ANIMATIONS/DIVES...make them interactive so that defenders can actual try to push out after the jump..should have different kinds of jumps over...make more realistic looking
user controller celebrations please bring back..
MORE REALISTIC SWATS-they are not real looking..
FADES TO THE CORNER-PLEASE MAKE THESE ACTUALLY EXECUTABLE IN MADDEN 11-make the animations more fluid and allow the players to try and keep their feet in bounds while jumping high to make the catch..and also take out those 2 player canned animations that make the game look unrealistic when they trigger.....
HAVE PLAYERS KICK THEIR FEET AHEAD OF THEM SELVES when someone is behind them trying to tackle them ...A.P. does it a lot...

I think a lot of the time that the visuals look a little dark (idk if its my PS3, i checked the brightness on my HD tv and my PS3 and they are normal)
A good soundtrack, and better visuals (not just focusing on close-ups)
Also they really need some new catching animations the same ones get old, i wanna see some exciting catches example:Randy Moss 1 handed snags, and good fade routes to the corner of the endzone like Santonio Holmes.
