I have some wishes of my own for the PlayStation versions.

First, you can trade your next year's draft picks during the draft (ala Cleveland's trade with Dallas to get Brady Quinn).

Second, what the heck was so wrong with hitting X twice to kick a field goal or punt? I know they wanted to do something with the right analog stick, but I still find myself accidently pushing the X button, especially when I haven't played in a while.

Third, better draft skills. I love fast RBs, LBs and DBs. I REALLY get honked off when I draft 7 RBs with a Speed of 78 or lower three years straight. There's WAY too many wide receivers with a Speed lower than 82 (and why do they always seem to go to the ProBowl)! And what's up with rag armed QBs?

Fourth, more small school players (Iona, Hofstra, Utah St., Southern Illinois).

Fifth, more realistic stats. Rag arm QBs throwing for 4200 yards, 28 TDs and 4 INTs? Super slow RBs racking up 1300 yards? I've seen this happen WAY too much!

Sixth, some way to boost your wide receiver's Awareness. I don't have much time to play Madden (I'm sure my fellow married guys can relate), so I play one or two games a season, then skip to the offseason (I love trying to build teams). I'm sure that if I play each game, my wides' Awareness will skyrocket, but when I skip the seasons, their Awareness never goes up from the time I draft them untill they retire. What the heck...!?

And, last but not least, goodbye Tony Bruno, hello Colin Cowlherd! Please dump this douchebag and get someone with talent (Colin Colwherd, for example). Its also frustrating to hear Brandon Lloyd still talking to Tony on year 18. Maybe add some other people to the list of call-ins. I'd love to hear Mike Ditka's take on the goings on within the league. Also, some "time sensitive" calls. I laugh everytime I hear that one guy going off about the Patriots dynasty when its Year 12 and the Patriots haven't been in the playoffs since Brady retired 4 years ago.

Okay, so I lied. Here's another one. Add Terre Haute, Indiana to the list of Relocation Cities! Okay, that was more for comedy than anything else...

I agree with a lot of the previous posts and have tried to shy away from repeating others ideas except if I feel its really needed.
