Great list,

I would add:

1. Ability to create a coach
2. Would like more hand-created draft classes
3. Scouting interface could be more efficient. (For example you need to press the R3 button for each prospect to see their speed, strength etc) [Reply]

Yeah, I hate that. It wastes so much time. It would be ideal to have all that info right in front of you instead of having to click R3 for every player.

Also, in the Yearly Awards and Pro Bowl voting screen there should be key stats listed too next o each guys name. I'd like to know why player x is nominated for MVP and how player y compares to him in stats. Also don't forget extra categories like Receiving yards for RBs or Return yards that also come into play.

Oh and don't forget to add as much of HC 09 into Madden 11 as possible. Especially Adam Schefter! His monthly reports on how the upcoming draft class was faring in their college season were great. It actually gave the game a story line. [Reply]

Is this true? I do this so much and I've never noticed anything...perhaps I should stop, but I probably won't. [Reply]

A simple thing, why can't we sub different players on the kickoff.I hate having WR's and TE's run down and get tackles because i prefer defenders getting tackles espically when they need as many tackles as they can get.

Come on EA put this in the next patch,THIS IS NOT HARD!!
This is so simple there is no excuse not to put it in. [Reply]

Guys i once read a post from EA where they mistakenly admitted that they only start on madden games late january or early february and are basically finished june so whats the point in making wishlist, they only put what they can in the time frame they have in the Madden game and its usually just some gimmick shi!.... also the game play engine and stat engine is long outdated so my only advise to people is forget about madden for 3-5 years and just finish school strong or whatever.

So your advice is to stop trying to help improve the product because there's a chance they won't listen to our ideas? Yeah, that's a great way to go through life: "There's a chance I'll fail so I won't even bother trying!" [Reply]

Well you can do whatever you want but im just saying that the game is on out dated engine and EA will prob continue to sell madden on that engine so why bother asking for stuff when they only put as little as they can in the game. [Reply]

OFFLINE Franchise.

1. Stats are way off

1a. 3-4 olb's hardly ever get any sacks and why are the Dlinemen in the 3-4 getting so many of the sacks? That's a little backwards

1b. RB's don't get near enough TD's and like someone else said they're ypc. isn't very good when you sim. Unless you got AP or 3 others who usually do good.

1c. Tackles overall is messed up. CB's hardly get any. Some CB's like jammer and winfield get a pretty high amount in real life. Also the MLB;s getting like 200 on avg. Usually on a couple guys will reach that many in a year and the OLB's etc aren't getting enough. It's been talked bout plenty.


2. Why does the cpu still make DUMB signing in the FA? 3-4 teams signing guys like trent cole or whoever and puttin them at DE. wtf? I wouldn't mind if they signed them and put them at OLB. That'd actually be pretty cool if the cpu was that adaptive! Also some teams will go with like a 60 ratings QB when a 80 is in FA waiting and while other teams have 3 QB's rated in the 70's or higher.

3.kind of goes with point 2. If there's teams who have to many good players at 1 pos. why don't they make some trades or something? Or how bout if the CPU already has 2 pretty good QB's and they're both young then why are they drafting another one in the draft??!?!

There's some more stuff, but I don't feel like typing it cause I'm sure EA won't do anything bout it. Offline franchise has been ignored ever since the next gen console came out!

Also the AI in gameplay just overall still needs a lot of work. It's just way to easy! And why don't the NT's in the 3-4 scheme ever eat up 2 blocks like REAL LIFE?!?!

I've got more to add. EA I'm tired of playing a completely unrealistic franchise mode. I'm in year two and the Jets drafted a RB in round 1 and also signed Julius Jones wtf? Keep in mind they ALREADY HAD Thomas Jones, Leon Washington, and Shonn Greene who of course already progressed to a 79.


1.Everyone progresses waaayyyy TO QUICK!!

2.Can the CPU stop making dumb signings PLEASE!! I've got the Broncos and every other 3-4 team signing guys like Mark Anderson to play DE in their 3-4 SCHEME! WHY?!?! It ruins the whole Franchise mode when teams can't even make reasonable signings or draft SEMI-SMART!! All the 3-4 teams draft tiny DE's and tiny DT's. Maybe it's the fact there's no 3-4 DE's in the drafts?

3.Also why does the CPU never fill their roster spots? 3-4 teams will have only 2 MLB's and the 2nd one will be like a 44 overall rookie? Also why do so many rookies get signed and then there's many good players left in FA who could ACTUALLY fill the backup role.

4.Also to many guys are getting drafted with ratings to high!

PLEASE PLEASE FIX offline franchise mode. It is a complete joke!! I swear I could look this over in testing once and easily notice all these HUGE mistakes! [Reply]

Add the draft pick value chart to the CPU to CPU and CPU to human trade offers - which obviously means expanding teams number of picks they can be holding (should be like 15 - i think 17 picks is the "record" in the 7 round draft era) and expanding the number of picks/players that can be involved in one trade!

Change FA so that high profile - highly rated coaches will attract high rated FAs even to crappy teams. Fix FA in general so that teams sign guys who fit their system- ie 3-4 teams would not even bid on 265 lbs or lighter DEs no matter how high they are rated, cuz unless they can move that player to LB he is useless in that "system"!

Same for the draft, why do teams not draft according to the style they play???

Gotta fix the DTs in the M10 generated classes too, you tellin me there is not any guys at DT with higher than 45 Fmov - just stupid that there isn't any quick, finesse DTs in those classes.

FA or resigning have the player's agent counter offer with some indication of what the player wants for a contract, that way I don't spend 10 mins trying to nickel and dime the guy, only to get to my own cap and not sign the guy anyways!!!!! Speakin of this - if the guy won't stay on my team (as defending SB champs) for less than x amount of dollars/ year, then he should not be signing in FA for less than x amount of dollars/ year with any team!!!!!!!!!

Add "Multiple D" to the options in the coaching scheme so that if that is what I run normally and I sim games my backup MLB and backup DT both get some stats even without injuries occurring! Grant you it would have to be less for both than if you ran a 4-3 concerning the DT or a 3-4 for the 2nd MLB cuz you switch it up, but they should get something!

Guys keep saying EA should lock playbooks to the coaches, which is an ok idea - but how about an option to lock CPU teams as 3-4, 4-3, or Multi-D teams. So that they draft accordingly and sign the right FAs. I know it must be hard enough to fix the draft logic cuz it sucks every year - so this could be a tool to assist in that department. And yea I know that isn't what happens in real life per say, but I hate seeing the Steelers running a 4-3 with 65 spd DEs in year 6 of my chise - not only would the CPU have to dump players and sign ones suited to the new scheme - but it is too easy to beat teams that have no pass rush threat cuz the DEs they have are 3-4 guys playing basically out of position. So give us the options of locking the "scheme" to coaches or teams!!!

Stadium event sounds - Green Bay always plays this corny song when the packers score, so rather than EA finding this stuff and bothering to get it in the game- just let us customize it already!!!

Hide the potential rating or give us the option to hide it!!!!

Change the scouting so that we get position specific attributes graded with letters (A+, A, A-, B+...) and add "Pro-day" numbers
so that the basic physical ratings - SPD, AGI, STR, ACC, JMP are all based off the combine/Pro-day numbers and we get info thru scouting that tells u more about the players position specific stuff and have the accuracy of that info be based on the quality of the scouting dept. Maybe "A+ Scouting" is really accurate when it comes to HBs, but they suck at projecting OL ratings ( my favorite team comes to mind here - freaking Jerry Jones can't buy a decent OL guy in the draft!!!)

Fix the sim stat engine - the tackles thing - you know what I mean - passing stats, WR stats, backups, RBs though M10 is much better with RBs this year I would still like to see a thing where in the coaching scheme they list all your RBs and you assign them a percentage of carries ie - i play as the Cowboys so the screen would be like this if I set it up;

M. Barber - 60
F. Jones - 25
T. Choice - 10
FB A - 4
FB B - 1

I always carry two FBs but can't remember who Dallas actually has - and you could change the numbers, maybe you don't want the FBs to get any carries so you change them to 0 and give T. Choice that 5% or whatever!

Gosh - I have more but this is already so long - i will add another post later! [Reply]

Does anyone even look at this forum? Better yet, does anyone from EA LOOK HERE?!?! [Reply]
