football is such an emotional game and madden feels kinda soulless and bland. there needs to be waay more and newer celebrations without over doing it. the super bowl victory should be more than a 30 second clipp. they should do trophy and MVP presentations for the game.
sidelines should look like sidelines with players reacting to big plays and jumping up and down and their guy makes a break for the endzone
insert some kind of attitude or moral thing into the franchise and players like TO or merriman can get suspended for being distractions and what not during the game.
suspensions and fines in franchise mode
position battles in pre season
if a team is doing bad all season long their stadiums should be more empty
crowd chants like the eagles song after they score a TD
better defensive playbooks. im pleaseed that they upped the variety this year but it still needs some work. how about letting us create our own playbooks like picking what formations and packages we want to you
an formation sub menu that you can organize outside the actual game
CPU teams actually using their second back even if the starter isn't tired.
better CPU AI period, teams should draft and sign FA based on the type of offenses and defenses run
in NCAA they should add a attribute for pro potential that can be ported over in madden
how about not randomly generating age for NCAA ported draft classes, i swear one year colt mccoy is 21 and if i load it again he's 26, WTF????
1. Scout players for specific attributes
scouting a DE's man and zone coverage to see he
would make a good OLB in 3-4
2. CPU teams drafting based off the coach's style or preference.
Some coaches like big strongs bulldozer linemen while
others want small quick linemen to play zone blocking
3. Compensatory picks for players lost in FA
4. Very detailed create your own playbook so I can create crazy
trick plays
Have a lot more but these are ones that I dont see being brought up by too many other people

My bad, i should have searched a bit more before I posted my offline franchise diatribe. This is an awesome list.

For me its more coaches and more team control. I want at the very least an offensive and defensive assistant to be added.
I simulate seasons most of the time so the team control it something that has to be added in my opinion. I want to be able to go into coach options (or whatever options) and have it so my QB will never throw the ball to the TE. Right now i cant do that. I prefer to have a blocking TE and have my WRs get all the catches but i cant do that with the current game. I have tried putting an O-lineman in at TE and for some reason when i simulate they still throw the ball to him. I've taken TE priority all the way to 0 and moved the slider to blocking but that doesn't help at all. I guess what im saying is that i want to have full control of what my team does on the field even when i simulate the games. Is that asking for too much?

For many years I've posted a request for franchise mode that I think a lot of us would like.
Basically, I'd like to see a feature similar to a team's "yearbook". Players could go into a replay/highlight at the end of a game and adjust the cameras to the angle they like - then take a snapshot/screenshot. Once the snapshot is taken, the player has the option to enter a caption at the bottom.
Over the course of each season, these snapshots are collected along with a written summary/synopsis of each game. This would create an annual yearbook, complete with the team's POY on the cover!
Imagine how cool it would be after running a franchise for a dozen years to go back in time and see photos from your Super Bowl season, or your All-Pro quarterback back when he was a rookie, or to simply remember some memorable plays from years past.
All the technology is there for EA to implement this, and for people like me who enjoy deep franchises, this would be incredibly enjoyable.

After 15 years in franchise you should have the option of making an all-time squad with players from your franchise's history to use in exhibition.

I want highlight reel tapes from players from the draft. And I want to be able to watch them workout.
And I want the highlight reel to matter. And help me make decisions.
I also want to be able to sit my player down and interview him before the draft. After asking him questions I can guage how his personality fits my team. And have a wonderlic test too.

Dont know if its been mentioned, but I would love to see the controlled player be able to add on to a tackle rather than just fall over at the tackle or dive right past and hit nothing. I have been heading for tackles countless times after another cpu player is in the process of a tackle and my player will either bounce off and fall or dive right past and look stupid. I want real add-on tackles with the player I control. I want my player to add on to the pile and drive it the direction I hit. I want to be able to finish off a tackle already in progress and drive it in different directions. Madden has needed this ability for user controlled tackle add-ons forever. If I dive past another tackle in progress Im going to pull my damn hair out!:-)
How about some authentic goal line play, where all the linemen get low and try to push the pile, right now the linemen all stand up in normal blocking assignments while a RB looks to slide around them for a TD. Getting low and creating a pile to dive over or drive into is what Madden 11 needs to help with realistic goal line play as well as short yardage plays.
How about cutscenes with the QB getting congrats for scoring a passing TD instead of kickers making XP's. M10 has kickers getting props on the sidelines instead of QB's,, weird!:-)[Reply]
